Beloved,

Don’t lose yourself trying to love someone. Don’t incarcerate yourself in silent hell trying to stay in a relationship that was never meant to be. You shouldn’t have to be a liar to make someone love you. You shouldn’t be so afraid of losing someone that you will do anything to make them stay. That’s silent hell! True love can only come when you accept yourself for who you are and when you’re filled with you. Not when you look to someone else to fill the empty space.

Don’t allow that rejection to drive you into depression. Whenever you’re rejected, it only means that God is doing something. It only means that God is pushing you and taking you to your inheritance. There is a place for DELIBERATE GRACE for a child of God. Ruth was pushed into her inheritance in Ruth 2:15-16 by deliberate grace.

Stop embarrassing your angels. Stop embarrassing the Holy Spirit in you. Stop wasting your energy on someone who doesn’t see you with the eyes of God.

It’s time for you to stop struggling in that relationship and be with the one who makes you forget how terrified you are of falling in love. Make up your mind tonight not to text him or her. Even though you miss him or her and even though you loved him or her more than anything else, don’t text! Seize from that struggle! They have never understood who you were, your sadness, your struggle, your dreams and who you have become – they never will.

Stop explaining yourself over and over again. Stop explaining why you couldn’t call or visit our why you came late. The one who truly loves you doesn’t need your explanation to know your sincerity. So stop embarrassing your angels. Stop embarrassing the Holy Spirit in you. Stop wasting your energy on someone who doesn’t see you with the eyes of God. When you stop chasing them, they will start noticing you. It’s a mistake to keep letting people stay in your life longer than they deserve.
BE THE CALM TO YOUR OWN STORM because there is a difference between somebody who wants you and somebody who would do anything to keep you. Your partner or spouse may try to take you down, but God will use their actions to take you up. Refuse to play up to them or try to win them over, just keep your eyes focused on what God has for you. Live boldly today. Push yourself. Stay the course and don’t settle for less. You’ll be okay in their absence. I promise.

In Him,
~Ali Papa.
