When Love is Wrong

 As I was packing for the big weekend ahead,  (Miss Georgia Week 2015!!!) I thought about a conversation I had with friends over the weekend, and I just had to sit and write a blog. Now, most of us are single or in some type of "limbo" with a lover, haha, but I realized many dating decisions made are the result of a mindset. If you do not have the right mindset, then emotions , anxiety, fear, and pressures from life can really affect your decision making when it comes to love. REAL LOVE protects one's own heart, as well as looks out for the interest of the person you choose to date. You can't let infatuation lead you, anxiety of being alone overtake you, fear of never finding someone make you settle, or pressure from family to have kids/get married make you stay in BAD relationships.

Human beings have this way of thinking if I constantly please myself, if I selfishly live life to fill my every desire I will be happy! That is such a lie! Have you noticed how certain celebrities who have everything, indulge in everything, and rarely tell themselves no, live the most depressing lives? They aren't happy because happiness does not come from a person or material things!  TRUE HAPPINESS COMES FROM WITHIN! You must first be content with who God has made you to be. You have to rest in his good plan or else you will dig deeper holes for yourself by making your own plans. In dating, you can not look for someone to fulfill your need for happiness or to just fulfill your lust. You will remain empty and always unsatisfied.

When love is wrong, muster up enough courage to walk away. If you are attached to someone you KNOW is wrong and you can't seem to pull away, pray. Say, "Jesus...you know my struggles. Help me to listen to you. Help me to find my escape and be free because your word says, He who the son sets free is free indeed!"

When love is wrong, we potentially delay the one God has for us... STOP THINKING FOR NOW AND MAKE DECISIONS THAT PROVIDE YOU WITH A BETTER FUTURE!  If it is the wrong time for a relationship, have enough courage to wait on GOD. IT IS WORTH IT.
