Loving them wont always be easy…
Here’s what helps me:
I love them as much of my ability allows, as God does for me.
I forgive them as easily as my ability allows, as God does for to me.
Sometimes you will have to be the bigger LOVER (person).
Sometimes you have to have the ability to know which spirit you are speaking to. Know how to address the different spirits. One you tell “Go home.” One you tell “Stay.”
Be so deeply rooted in your spirituality that you have the ability to distinguish the difference. If you don’t- you lose every time. Some of these spirits floating out here could have you thinking:
- You’re crazy.
- You’re wrong.
- You don’t have a stable mind
I have the ability to love most f**ked up individuals (as I can be at times, myself), but what’s the point in loving an individual who doesn’t recognize it in themselves and willing to work towards progression? Seriously, why would I? Why would you?
One of the worst feelings is being willing to love a person through their “storm” but they aren’t bothered by the hail, the damaging winds, the flood waters, and debris that affect you in the process.
There MUST be a shift.
However, a real one KNOWS that if you leave that person standing out there in that storm alone, they wouldn’t survive. In some rare cases, they wouldn’t even want to.
So the real question is:
Do you load the gun for them, cock it, and allow them to pull to trigger on themselves? Because, in some very delicate situations, that is what you will doing. Or…
Do you love them through their worst, as God does for us?
My point is this…
Some of the strongest people don’t have the WILL to weather the toughest storms alone. Sometimes they need a shelter, a warm blanket, and a friend.
DISCLOSURE:
No matter how blessed you are to see through a person and know their needs and wants, it does not mean THEY DESERVE YOU. DONT BE USED. DONT BE ABUSED.
Know your worth.
It’s a matter of balancing your needs with theirs. Sometimes that person isn’t good for you- physically, mentally, emotionally, or financially. Do they provide what you lack? Do you provide what they lack?
Love who you love!
But make DAMN sure..
…they love you back.
Until Next Time…
