Thank You JESUS For Hope.

I heard this 15 year old girl says that she doesn't believe in love anymore. She has been jumping from boyfriend to boyfriend probably since she was 13. With many guys coming in and out of her life and her need to have a boyfriend, it is easy to understand why she will be giving on love, but is this love. 1 COR 13:8 tells us that "Love never fails..." with this being true then it further proves that what she experienced wasn't love because they all have failed. So, the reality is, she doesn't believe in things that resemble love anymore. Because it wasn't true love. To be so young and believe that love is defined by how people treats her and not how GOD treats her and views her, it is sad. I was in her shoes before. I even ATTEMPTED to force myself to believe that I would just have sex and be independent, be the Samantha from 'Sex and the City'. That life grows empty very quickly when the reality is you truly want love. What's in the darkness will come to the light (Luke 8:17) eventually. And finally at the age of 22 I accepted the fact that I do desire a husband and family but after accepting and embracing GOD as my first love and desiring for HIM to be the first love of my husband as well. Let's face it, as long as your husband is loving GOD first (and wife loving GOD first), obedience to GOD is a priority and naturally the relationship will flourish. To be young and think so negatively about love, but we all want to be loved, even if we aren't willing to accept it. That desire was not placed there by accident. It was meant to be filled with no other than Love Himself, JESUS.
