Looking for love? There are no right places...
You know, I've been a relationship counselor to many a people/couples in my time as a teenager and adult, and I've only learned one thing from all of those experiences as a knowledgable informer. That one thing, is that I have no idea how to handle finding love. Seriously, I have no idea how to go about finding that one person who is so perfect for you, you're forced to wonder where on earth they've been for the past somany years. And I think that's exactly what God has been trying to teach me...
For so long, I've wondered how I was to find love, where I should go, who on earth should I seek. All the while the answers were so simple. I should seek nowhere and no one on earth to find love. My attention must be diverted upwards. You see, seeking God is the only way to find TRUE love. I mean, come on, God himself IS Love. And yet I still struggle with turning away from Love itself to find my own definition.
I was speaking with my good friend Jeff (haha, the secret is you don't know which one), and we were talking about love and relationships and the like. And I felt God really lay something on my heart, which I plan on carrying on through my single life, through my dating life, and into my marriage. That something is this: I want to glorify God in all that I do, and I want to use my life only to serve him the best that I can.
Someday, I am going to meet someone that, through the course of some uncertain amount of time, I will realize I can better serve God with that person holding a different place in my life. When I truly realize that this one person can make a huge difference in how I serve the Lord, only then will I realize that it's time to move to the next course of action, still keeping in mind that true Love still comes vertically, not horizontally.
Until then however, I plan on Looking for Life, not love. Because when you take the time to look for love, you always seem to lose opportunities to show it.
Love you,
Bobby
