In the Stillness

You have to be okay on your own. You should not need to seek emotional high from anyone, oftentimes mistaking it as love. If they reach out to you, good. It's their job in the first place. It's just unfortunate that you fell for the wrong person. But of course, considering your age, it is just as natural and not as uncommon as you think it is. You have to understand, value, and appreciate yourself on your own light so that when they do not do so, you are firmly grounded on the foundation of who you are as a singular person, and not in the identity that they give to you. 

Also, be careful of what you read and see, because if it is from the world then there's a big chance it will not be as reliable. Be careful on who you let to influence you. God said in Romans 12:2, "Do not conform yourself to the pattern of this world but be transformed inwardly by the renewing your mind. Then you will be able to know the will of your Father in heaven."

But of course that does not disregard the advices that you deem right and sound. Just like what Su gave you. It's a blessing from God to have such kind of people in your life. God really is amazing in his creation that he created us uniquely different from each other, so that when opinions are needed, it's always nice to hear from a different point of view.

What she said to me really left a mark in my mind. I know my place. I know who I am. And I do not need anyone's attention to feel beautiful, accepted, and more importantly, loved. I love myself the way I am, my family loves me, my friends love me, and most especially, if that list all crumbles down, I have my Jesus who already loves me even before I knew what love is. I do not need any guy to feed me up and then tear me down just because he is yet unstable in his ways too.

I believe that when I talk about love, GB still exists, and God is still molding us for each other. The fact that we aren't still together now is a clear sign that we are not yet ready. My hope is in the Lord, and he will not disappoint :) -Psalm 9:10

My identity is secured in Christ. I am his daughter, loved and treasured by my Father, the King of the heavens. Naturally speaking, I should be pursued. And pursued I should be. Just as any princess is to a King.

       My happiness is nothing compared to the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus who is the source of my joy. Life is more than finding true love and GBs. It is be holding the fact that Jesus loves me, He died for me to have a relationship with Him, the kind of relationship that brings security, fullness in identity, and hope. Hope in what's to come. Hope found in eternal life with the Father. There's gotta be a reason why I am called The Bride. Because Jesus? He is my Bridegroom. He is the real GB. ❤ what amazing the Fathers love for us. That he would send his only son to rescue us. He has saved us, called us blameless, guides us now, and will sustain us. Oh how wonderful the Father's love!
