I know this might be long overdue. You never heard much from me talking seriously about anything in particular when we meet but here goes nothing.
It was I who invited her to join the community. It as I who encouraged her to spread her wings, meet new friends and open herself up because there is more to life than what it "is". I knew what she have been through. Oh that pain that loving brings, when you give your heart to someone and it ends up betrayed and broken. Oh that pain of losing the one you love, the one that you hope to be with. But then again, life goes on. You move on whether you like it or not. Whether it takes a few days to many years, life goes on. Life must go on! You must move on. As if you had any other choice?!
I was glad to see her happy and revived from her past. I was rejoicing to know that she was safe and confident again in His love. That kind of bond which no human can surpass. That relationship that is as personal and sweet that will last. With that solid assurance that she will be fine, it was easier to go, be away and to do the things I wanted to do. And that time came, a message I received asking permission to make a move on her. He said he likes her and wants to pursue. I unselfishly and threateningly told him then, "Sure, it's fine. That's great but please make sure you treat her well. Or else!!"
Although I haven't seen how you really are together nor asked how you we're as often. I was hoping and praying that you just love one another. Seeing your captured moments and online status, I was assured you were doing good. But then again even though I don't ask, even if I am not there my eyes and ears always show up with something to say. Indeed, nothing is perfect and that's a fact that has been going on beyond my years. There you go swept off your feet by the one who came along your street. I was excited to say the least.
A promise of forever and till death do you part. A commitment forever carved in your heart. The road ahead is not as easy as it sounds. In your moments of sorrow and doubt, remember Him of whom everything began. This I always remind myself because I often forget. I urge you as well to remind yourself as often as you forget. According to Matthew 6:33 as it is written, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God , and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you".
Let me tell you this, everyone has its flaws and failures. Shortcomings here and there. I won't be a judge to you but I want to encourage you. I would say "you don't have to prove the world anything but you owe to yourselves that love". That love that God himself gave from above. At the end of the day, you are not just sweethearts nor just lovers anymore but you have been given the responsibility to care more. The proof of your love is right there between your fingers. If you need to see more proof, then look at that gift of life, that angel smiling right back at you. Or better yet, close your eyes and feel the beat of your heart. And let me ask, "what does it tell you??"
So be weary not for He is always with you. Now, that is a promise that will always be true. For real love is patient and it is kind. You may be envious at times, boastful and even proud. You may all at once dishonor others, easily angered or be selfish in your ways. But love, well, it doesn't mind. Yes! It doesn't mind because love keeps no records of wrongs nor secrets - only upholding the truth. Because all it wants to do is protect, trust, hope, and persevere in you. Really, it only needs to do is to keep on loving you! 1Corinthians 13:4-7
Whatever you are going through day in and day out, whatever your emotions be, ask yourselves "Is this love?". Also, always ask guidance and protection from the One above. You are never alone in this journey. You never were. God has His purpose in you it stays. Although to my dismay, missed your very wedding day. Always praying for you guys with much love onward and beyond and everyday. ♥♥♥
