Accepting What's For You ♡

Credits: The picture found on Google and then edited by me.

I was reading through 1 John this morning, and I came across this verse. 

Particularly, this verse was referring to the antichrists. The antichrists were scheduled to come in the last hour. [Antichrists are people who deny belief in the Son and the Father.] With that being said, 1 John 2 warns people to not become deceived by these people. Instead, stand firm in your faith because you know what is right. 

However, this verse resonated with me in a similar, yet different way. 

To further elaborate a parallel that I saw, I pictured the antichrists as being people who end up leaving your life (whether it be failed relationships, broken friendships, etc.). 

I viewed "us" as being strictly the relationship with you and God (not just a group of people). When people encounter you as a Christian, they should not just encounter you. They should encounter you and God. People should be able to see God in you. You don't have to go around proclaiming your faith and belief in God because it's evident by the way you treat your life, it's evident by the way you treat people, etc. 

At the end of the day, I want God standing by my side. I want God to be my best friend, my teacher, my confidant, or, as some would say, my "ride or die." I want Him forever in my life. I want Him to be my rock. I want Him to be in my future. Every breath that I take on this Earth I want my God to be with me. Even after my breathe my last breath, I want God to still be with me because I want to join Him in heaven. 

With that being said, I don't want anyone in my life who has a problem with my relationship with God. I don't want anyone who becomes jealous of my relationship with God. I don't want anyone who will attempt to discourage my relationship with God. At the end of the day, people can be temporary but God is eternal.

When you lose someone that you thought would be in your life forever (and I'm not talking about a loved one passing away), they are not meant for you, They cannot coexist in your life with God. We know that our God is a jealous God. He wants your love. He wants your attention. He doesn't want to come second to anyone or anything. When I lose someone in my life, I know it's not meant for us (me+God together). I'm not going to lie to you and say that it doesn't hurt sometimes, because it does.

If you remember nothing else from this blog post, then remember this:

Whatever friendship is made for us will last.

Whatever relationship is made for us will last. 

God thinks you're amazing and won't let you settle for anything less than what you deserve (which is sometimes why he takes things away from you).

This is a good thing because I don't want to settle in a relationship without A Crucifixion Type Love. [Warning: Audio will play when you click that link.] I feel like when God is that intertwined in a relationship/marriage. The relationship/marriage will last and continue to overcome every/any obstacle. 

Take Care & God Bless.
