Truth: Shouting at the world doesn’t drown out the screams of your heart…
Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
Here’s the truth…..
It’s the weekend and for some singles whether they’ve never been married; divorced; or widowed, Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday are the hardest days of the week. They find it hard not because there’s so much to do, but because they have NOTHING to do. They long for the ultimate life which includes multiple invites, countless dating opportunities, and a weekend that makes you tired just by thinking about it. When these opportunities fail to present themselves, the question “What is wrong with me?” lurks in the back of their minds. Strong desires to be in a relationship or having an active life, have allowed the lies of the enemy to creep in and take resident in their mind. Lies like “you’re not pretty enough”, “you’re fat”, “no one can ever love you”, “you’re dumb, no one wants to hang out with you” and “dude, you’re ugly, she’ll never look at you that way” has left them depressed, emotionally closed, and trapped in front of a television the whole weekend. They’ve heard these lies so much; they’ve given up on love/happiness and now the spokesperson for the “IDon’t Need a Man/Woman/Friend to Complete Me” 2012 Campaign. They shout it loud, shout it proud, and make it known to everyone they come in contact with whether they’re asked or not. Yet in their hearts there are screams of “I want someone to love me”, “I want to be married”, “I want to have children”, “I’m lonely” and many other thoughts of affection and desires…. The truth is…. Shouting ‘independence” to the world won’t drown out the screams of the heart, in some cases it only makes them louder. Your desires to be loved, touched, wanted and needed are all normal. Looking back into the beginning of time you will find this. God saw Adam was lonely, so he created Eve, which tells us the feeling of “connection” is nothing new. Maybe you’re not longing to be in a relationship, but your desire is for friends. This desire is normal as well, Jesus Christ himself had friends. There were the three disciples who were closest to him, then the twelve, the forty, and the multitudes. There’s nothing wrong with these feelings, yet you can’t allow them to prevent you from living a full life. The trick of the enemy is to turn those truths into lies by planting seeds of insecurity and doubt in your mind. If he can convince you there is something wrong with you, he can kill your hopes of a healthy and happy future. Remember his job is to kill, steal, and destroy, don’t be his targets. So, it’s Friday what do you have planned? Are you going to sit in front of the television with a gallon of ice cream ALONE? Or will you call up that friend you’ve been avoiding all week, get out, and see a movie? Listen to the voice of what your heart is telling you, it wants you to be happy…..
Are you “F.A.T.” (Feeling Amazing Today)”???????? If not, what are you waiting for……
