On top of that, I love reading romantic books that make every girl's hearts melt and drop...wishing the male character would be real and saying his romantic and eloquent words to me..... Also, I love romantic movies, now I also love action movies and Sci-Fi, but come on every movie has some sort of love triangle, sometimes more than a triangle, but you get the point.
I am in love with the idea of being in love. And I can't wait to feel that way about someone who feels the same way about me.
If any of you have seen the movies Ever After, any of the Lord of the Rings movies, the Hobbit, Becoming Jane, Sense and Sensibility.... you will have witnessed what I am trying to put to words.
The women in these movies are dainty, lovely, bright, beautiful beyond just outer appearances, caring, talented, quaint, brave, courageous, lady-like, and they demand respect from men and those around them. For so long have I dreamed of being Éowyn from Lord of the Rings, who not only is encouraging and caring, but she is a fighter and disguises herself as a man to fight for her kingdom, even when the outcome may be death. She is jaw dropping captivating.
The male characters also are gentlemen, though some are flawed, the ones we should care about are more than just boys dressed up to fight, they are men. They learn as they go and grow into caring, strong, honorable, loving, intelligent and respectful men. They are the knights any girl in this world dreams about at night. I most certainly have been waiting for my Aragorn and Legolas :) hahah.
Now the problem to all these totally normal thoughts, is that while I have been waiting for my prince charming, true love has been staring right at me. True love has been guiding me through my whole life. True love has been comforting me when I am upset. True love has been laughing with me. True love has been wandering with me through this world. True love has set me free. True love died on a cross for me....
JESUS IS MY TRUE LOVE!!!
Only He will be able to provide me with all the love, encouragement, company, and acceptance I need.
So, when all I want is to meet someone who will make my heart skip a beat, who will constantly pursue me, who will bring me flowers, who will read to me, who will hold my hand, who will live life with me....The only one who can fulfill this desire is Jesus. And boy does he do it well!
Every morning He shines His love for me with the beauty locked in a sunrise. Each day He walks beside me as I go to my classes, go to work, go to work out. You name it, He is with me. He makes the leaves fall down in ways that just take my breath away. He makes the hills so green that I can feel the beauty pouring into the very depths of my soul. He captures my attention with every flower that grows in my front yard. He grabs my shoulders lavishing his love on my with every verse I read and with every smile from others. He hugs me so tight. He loves me so much. And his love is so beautiful. It is never ending, never dull, never fake. It is as if I am in the gardens of Eden walking with Him. He is my everything.
He can be your everything too. He came into this world not to condemn the world, but to save it. And not to just save it and say, "See you later good luck!" NO! He came so that he could personally love you and care for you.... So if you have ever dreamed of having that someone who loves you so passionately and so beautifully, get to know Jesus. He is always waiting to make a difference in your life.
I love this verse:
"But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine." -Isaiah 43:1
God is jealous for your love. He calls you by name. Can you see him in the beauty of this world? Can you hear him in the music that fills the air? Take a leap and dive into the deep love of Christ. You will never want to go back!!!
