Random thoughts on Love

Sorry about the long blogs, I'm a story writer so I can just keep going on and on, I apologize for that. It's the first month in winter and it's FREEZING here in Melbourne and we're definitely being hit with sicknesses. My friends from NSW came over and I found out, Melbourne has been declared, the Swine Flu State all around Australia. Pretty scary stuff.

Anyway, I sort of wanted to blog about the topic of LOVE. I've never really been a professional at it, I've never really known it's true purpose and meaning, but to me, love between a man and a woman, is something rare, something very special and just simply hard to find. But a lesson I've learnt about looking for LOVE, is simply, not to look, but to let it come chasing after you. Something unexpected and something that sweeps you off your feet and catches you by surprise, is an overwhelming feeling anyway and to know that it's love, just gives it that greater feeling.

A man who seeks such a thing has been stereotyped as weak and emotional. I've heard such things like a man isn't meant to have emotions. But I simply think, those people who think that, are walking like zombies on this Earth with no heart. They're the true emotionals of this world. I believe whether your male or female, your emotions were given to you to react to a certain matter that's happening in your life at that very time. To cry, to anger, to smile is normal.

Before I came to this realisation that we should let love come to us in God's perfect time,
This is how I used to feel ...
I've been kind of wondering where or when, that girl for me is going to appear. So many times I think, I could meet her today, or I could have already met her, or when I'm out and about on the streets or in the city, that she may be someone there, or she could be in a different state, country, or on the other side of the world, and I wouldn't have even met her yet. It's a weird feeling for me to express, but I know as humans we tend to come to that realisation and way of thought. We want to find our other half, we want to find joy, someone we can share something with, someone we can go out with, someone who can hang out with us, when we are going out to the movies or eating dinner with our friends and family. But isn't that the fun part, not knowing who she is, and not knowing where she is? Like a good friend of mine once said, "Just imagine she lived across the road from you, what's the fun in that?"
I truly believe that, if everything was handed to you on a silver platter, what's the point? But the thing is as humans we want everything now, but we're not prepared to fight for it or in this situation we're not prepared to wait for it. The waiting game is always the hardest whether your single or your in a relationship. But just like me, even though I'm waiting, sometimes I just want it now, but that all just comes down to your ability to be patient.

I remember feeling like I was in love once upon a time. Feeling like, nothing in the world can stop you feeling this way, or feeling like, whenever your around that someone, or talking to them that, nothing in your world around you matters at that time except for that someone, but I don't think that's love at all. Love should be shared and not placed all into one person. It's a dangerous thing Love, it can take over us and it can isolate us from the world, from our friends, from our families and sometimes we can put that person above God. Once that happens however, say goodbye to that person you so-called loved. God is a jealous God and he'll rid you of that honour.

For now I wait and I hope. But also most importantly, for now, I've gone back to my true first love and that's God. I believe before you find love and want to know love, you need to seek the one who created love and who is the grand symbol of love and that is God. I believe that we waste too much time waiting and hoping for that special someone to come though, when simply, like I said before, it's not a matter of looking, but it's a matter of love coming and chasing after you. If you want to find true love, go to the one who created it in the first place. Through God you will find that. I'll leave you with a bible verse that a man that I now look up to reminds me and others in my youth group of when he gets the chance too.

Psalms 37:4
"Seek your happiness in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart."

PEACE!
