Reflecting over the past couple years I realized how much God has done in my heart.
I didn’t like dating, the feeling of butterflies, the beginning stages. I never wanted to be changed by a man. What I didn’t like most about it all is how out of control it made me feel. Everything felt like a game to me. I couldn’t like someone too much or he wouldn’t like me back. I couldn’t love someone too hard or he is bound to break my heart or worse treat me poorly.
But then this man came along who was kind & thoughtful. He didn’t pretend to be someone he wasn’t. He was honest about his imperfections, his heart, who he was, what he wanted in life. He showed me that love doesn’t play any of those sorts of games.
The thing is: this man changed me. God used him to let the light in on the broken places. & made them a little less broken. He showed me a real life example of how love can mold a heart & slowly it changes for something better. Something more vulnerable, humble, open & whole than before. & I am forever grateful.
