So I love talking about love but have realized “Love is tricky”. Sometimes it can come before you’re ready for it. When you know you love someone the hardest thing to do is to take 100 steps back. All you want to do is just sit and think about how amazing the future looks with that person. It’s a beautiful thing to think about but can be dangerous.
When your mind starts to think about the future you tend to forget about the present. You’re so busy thinking about what life could be like, you forget to take a second to think about how you can grow to that point with the person you are with. You find yourself stuck in a place where you’ve become more serious than you’re ready for.
Love is so much bigger than ourselves. I’m sure you’ve heard the stories about people falling in love at first sight. You can know you love someone but in order to make a relationship work you need to take the steps to grow with that person or the relationship will never work.
Getting to know someone takes time. Time worth spending. Being patient is the key to a successful start of a relationship and also the hardest part.
Cor 13:4-7 “(4)Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. (5)It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. (6)Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. (7)It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
