I AM LOVED

We all some time or another find ourselves fearful of not being loved, and ultimately being alone for the rest of our lives. We get this fear from living in a society where it is the norm to have a steady boyfriend at 15, and it has become accepted, and envied. We often times forget that we are loved, and we are never alone. We forget about the wonderful love God has given us. I know, I know. Its hard to accept that love when its easier to see love from a human physically. God cannot hop onto Earth and hug and kiss us, but he can comfort us, and he does when WE take it upon ourselves to run to him. I have FINALLY realized that I need to focus on running towards God, and I need to allow him to completely take over my life for it to be about him. When we make God our number 1, everything else falls into place perfectly. Quit looking for imperfect love on Earth when your creator is longing and willing to show you his all-powerful, crazy,, perfect love that he has for all of us. Wait for the guy HE has in store for you, it will be worth the wait, and it will save your heart a lot of hurt.

‎"Don't keep looking for the right person to fall in love with. Run hard after God, and when you hear footsteps beside you, look over to see who is running along beside you. He will probably be the person God has chosen for you to spend the rest of your life with - the one who will fufill your need for human companionsh...ip and love." -More Beautiful You, A Study in True Beauty

Wait, what? Don't conform?

 Conformity. It is everywhere I look. It is staring me in the eyes as I walk down the hallway at school and drive down the street. I am constantly reminded of it every time I watch TV or listen to music. I see thugs, preps, and goths who are just trying to fit in and to find their place in society. I refuse. I refuse to look for comfort or approval from man. My God is the only one's opinion that I care about. It should be yours too. Place God so high that no other matters. Don't let a guy take advantage of you, don't drink because your friends do, don't take a joint because its been handed to you. Take God and hold onto him so tightly that none of the worldly struggles seem like struggles anymore, but measly scraps of dirt you need to brush off your pants after falling. 

Let us, instead, rebel. Rebel against the worlds views of beauty and fun. Show them that true happiness comes from above. Show them pot isnt needed to get a high, and alcohol isnt needed to forget about regrets and the world around you. ALL YOU NEED IS GOD! Rebel, and be his child.

"You're just a conformist if you're drunk and naked, and driving around on a motorcycle, smoking cigarettes and breaking commandments and getting pregnant out of wedlock. Everyone's done that! That's so tired. If you really want to be a rebel, read your Bible, because no one's doing that. That's rebellion. That's the only rebellion left!"
