Hi friends! Be prepared for rom-com vibes in this post! I wrote this a few months ago as I was processing some relationship drama, and let's just say that the Lord taught me to reign in my romantic ideals. So often, we fall into the belief that our worth is defined by a significant other; when we finally have someone who loves us, then we will be complete.
But here's the thing... That is a big fat lie from the Enemy! First off, we have someone, the One, who loves us more than any romantic partner ever could. God's love is infinite and eternal and nothing we do will ever alter His love for us. And beyond that, no guy/girl will complete you or define your worth-- that is God's job! He has anointed us with His holiness and crowned us with the title of Beloved. We have a Jesus-shaped hole in our hearts, and no-one else can fill it. So now, please enjoy this poem (aka a narration of me trying and failing to fill that Jesus-shaped void) and let God speak to you:
Lovesick
I met a boy
Who I really like,
Maybe even love.
I think I love him.
No.
I know I love him.
It was love
At first sight,
When we met three days ago.
Perfect little angel,
He calls me. His words--
beautiful, gorgeous, princess--
Warm me
From the inside out. His affections
Shower me, like rain
in a desert, I long for him.
He's my knight in shining armor,
Sweeping me off my feet
When he slid into my DMs.
It feels like I've known him
Forever, our hearts destined
To entwine,
Flourishing as one,
an unbreakable vine.
I’d marry him in a heartbeat,
But I guess
He’d better respond to my texts first.
Pause and Ponder: How can you relate to this poem? Who holds your heart-- Jesus or someone/something else? Ask the Lord to fulfill the longings of your heart. Focus on your relationship with Him, and He will romance you in a way that no guy/girl ever could.
