This man had been disturbing me for a very long time, I mean like forever. I knew him while growing up as someone my parents and siblings adored. I just felt they talked about him a lot and it even annoyed me sometimes. Funny enough, this guy followed me everywhere; I mean it became very irritating. Growing up as a young girl devoid of any consequences for my actions, I went about many exploits. This man would warn me of so many bad decisions, but I felt I needed to experience things on my own( you know I needed some space to breathe). Sometimes I listened to his advice, others I ignored and faced the consequences. This man started asking me out. He said he loved me and he would do anything for me if only I gave my heart to him. Believe me; I tried warding him off both with my words and actions. But he never left me. He even told me that my body soul and spirit belonged to him. He felt bad most of the time when I defiled this body because he was always monitoring me, it was that serious. He never stopped disturbing me even for a day. He was like a thorn in my flesh. I really tried ignoring him but he is always in my face, in my head and in my heart. I later discovered that they were no escape from him.
Finally I discovered that I was also in love with him, yea. I felt it everywhere I went, in my body my heart and soul. I knew I had fallen hard. Our relationship has been wonderful ever since I finally gave him a yes. I had told him I would give him my all, but I didn’ t do that. I was selfish, unfaithful; I couldn’ t just let it all go to one person. I knew he loved me more than I did him. Maybe that’ s why I take advantage of that love most of the time. We fight most of the time because of my selfish attitude, I have really tried to change, but it’ s so hard. Anyway the good news is that he has promised to help me love him, although he keeps saying that I would have to love him deliberately and that I should put deliberate effort to show my love for him. I am at peace with myself because I know he will forever Love me. To tell you the truth falling in love with him has thought me that love isn’ t just in words but in actions of sacrifice built on a deliberate desire to care, bear and tend. Hope you love for the right reasons. I think is time I introduce him to you …. His name is JESUS... HE ALONE IS MY ONE TRUE LOVE.
So, if you ask me what love is, I would say love is God who came in the person of Jesus Christ. Guess what? He loves you too.
