Dating Rehab
Just when I’ve packed my bags and made the decision to walk away from dating for awhile, it pleads with me to stay one last time. I politely decline. “My heart belongs to another,” I say. “You can’t take His place.” In a last attempt to win me back, it sends three exes my way. Three exes in the past four days have contacted me out of the blue. But I’m hip to this scheme. Not too long ago when I threatened to leave, it plotted to win me back using these same tactics. Unfortunately, that time I wasn’t so lucky.
For now, I’m terminating my ties with dating so that I can devote my love, time and attention to God and the pursuit of inner bliss. In the past, I would often find myself cheating on Him – swapping prayer and quality time for all night rendezvous with the male pick of the week. In spite of my misbehavior, God always took me back when Mr. Not So Fabulous had broken my heart once again. I must admit, dating and I have had our share of good times, but now it’s time to follow my heart and not my hormones. It’s time to fly solo so I can master the art of self-love and tireless devotion before I give my heart to another.
I recently came across this beautiful quote that says it all: “A woman’s heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man should have to seek Him first to find her.” May these words encourage you on your path to everlasting love.
