Love Is Not Blind

Before, when I go to malls with my friends and see a spectacular woman then see that she’s with a guy who cannot be labeled as spectacular, we’d usually say “Bro! love is blind!” and laugh out loud. It’s wrong for us to judge and I know we should never make fun of couples.

Is there such thing as love is blind? Well for me it’s not. The couple explained earlier was an example of falling in love with the real person inside and not just with mere appearance.

But I do believe this; some are blinded because of what they think love is. Here are list of examples that I witnessed in people:

  • When you’re in a relationship and your network of friends become smaller because your mentality is the “YOU AND ME ONLY” mentality. I know couples that would strictly not allow one another to hang out with other friends because they’re jealous of one of the guys or girls. Then the network would be smaller and at the end you’ll be alone.
  • I have a classmate and we were having an exam. I asked him “Hey bro so you studied for the exam?” and he was like “No man, the girlfriend and I had a fight we were talking all night”
  • I know couples that lie to their parents so that they could meet up. They would end up sneaking out for a date.

Anything that causes you to lose priority, disobey parents, be irresponsible and even causes you to SIN is blinding.  Let me tell you, a love that is blinding is not love at all. What is true love then? 

First of all you should know who the author of love is. Who is it? God is the author of love and in fact God is love itself. The only reason why we could love one another is because God loved us first. We respond by love through God’s love. The more you love God, the more loving you become.

Love doesn’t minimize your network. The reason that you’re together is that you could enlarge your community and belong in one. It’s just like running the race with a partner beside you. Don’t forget that you’re still in the race towards the prize, towards eternity. Together, serve and give more.

“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” Hebrews 10: 24-25

Love doesn’t make you stay up all night and forget priorities. It should build you up and it should motivate you in becoming the person God wants you to be. It’s not about stopping your growth but rather it’s about developing you more. Love is bringing out the best in each other so that you could be the champion God wants you to be.

“I’ll never pull you out of the race, I’ll run beside you no matter what it takes”

Imagine asking God, “What kind of person do you want me to become?” What do you think God’s answer will be? You are God’s child and if you belong to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, wouldn’t He want the best? He wants the BEST LIFE for you. You should experience God’s Best my friend. You’re given one life and God want’s it to be the BEST for you because He loves you.

Single or with someone, see yourself as God sees you. The only perfect love that will exist is God’s love. Even though I’m a wretch and a sinner, God still want’s the best life for me. He promised everyone abundance in life and that’s true love. Just remember that God’s love is perfect and we love as an outflow from that Amazing Love.

(1) WHY DO PEOPLE GET ADDICTED TO SMOKING? It all starts with one try, "YB" and when we love the feeling, we're convinced that it is a source of SATISFACTION. However, when our level of satisfaction dwindles, we crave for the feeling once again, which causes us to further with the addiction. We tend to depend on it like OXYGEN. Cheers to non smokers! And more cheers to quitters! Why do we seek for things that will give us satisfaction that's merely fleeting, and surely leads to nothingness? What's sad is that even if we know it, WE DO IT. (2) THE SAME CYCLE GOES OUT FOR WEIGHTY THINGS such as drugs, alcohol and sex. These are things that are terribly OVERINDULGENT that once people fall into it, a cycle of search, satisfaction and emptiness is formed. What's more, when an addiction can no longer supply us with the level of satisfaction we yearn for, we move on to our next FLEETING FANCY, not knowing how further damaging it is to us, and to t...

Smile

I worked for some time in a coffee shop. On my first day behind the cash register, my boss just told me to do two things, “say thank you and SMILE” I’m good in following orders so that’s what I did throughout my shift. At the end of my shift my boss told me that people felt good because of my smile! According to them it was warm and welcoming. Since then I would always smile when faced with a customer. To smile is the simplest yet amazing thing you could do. Actually it’s one of the best things you could do for people as well. Smiling at them will make them feel good. It could make a stranger's day. It’s free and it feels good. What are your reasons to smile? I’ve come up with a list on reasons for me to smile right now. Knowing that my favorite hero “Wolverine” is Canadian Knowing that the movie “The Avengers” is almost out Knowing that I’ll be reunited with my family again Knowing that I have awesome friends all around the planet Just thinking of how wo...
