THE LADY, HER PURPOSE AND HER LORD: What's Your Love Story

Hey guys welcome to a wonderful new week 😀. Being that we are still in the month of love, we are definitely still talking about love; What it means, what it's become and how it's developed.

So one of my favorite things to do on a free weekend (which I've not had time for in a long while) is sit back with a glass of white wine, a box of tissue 😢 and a wonderful romance movie 🎥 and one fantastic thing is that no matter the movie, no matter the culture, no matter the circumstance what is considered true love always tends to win at the end.

Today I'll be breaking down your typical love story and all it's plots before delving into one of the most beautiful story of all time (Mine and Yours)

The typical love story

- two peope from entirely different worlds (Rich and not so rich, different cultures, different language, different ethnicity e.t.c) meet in a not so typical situation ( he bumps into her, friends try to hook them up, they get to work together) and there is just that magnetic attraction one/both of them cannot just shake.

- that attraction becomes stronger even when the other person is not reciprocating or they are reciprocating but the family has a different thing in mind or the one bad situation where the other person is in a relationship

- this tension goes on for a while and after so many breakdowns(quiting, moving to another city, indulging in a bucket of ice cream or having too many shots of tequila) something finally brings them together AND they live happily ever after 😍😍

So that's how the typical love story goes and if you love Love like I do all through this rollercoaster of emotion you keep rooting for them to come through and luckily for us they do. That's the most common plot and as most of us know that's not necessarily how our love story goes, most times we all do have that one thing that keeps us from the love we feel is ours, sometimes it's differences, other times it's family but most times it's YOU 🙆

How exactly can you be what keeps you from love?

- You've given up on ever finding it, you've decided it just might not be for you

- You keep living in a fantasy and forget to live in the moment and working on your relationships to groom them to become your own fantasy

-You are very quick to think of 1 million ways it will not work before even considering giving it a go (I am so guilty of this, we call ourselves the over thinkers)

- You keep dwelling in your hurt and therefore make sure you never put yourself out there enough to be hurt

All these are just some of the reasons why you just might be the antagonist of your own love story. Does this mean I can guarantee that your next or current relationship is your happily ever after? Well no but I can guarantee that your love story will be even more beautiful than you have ever imagined it could be once it happens.

Well the greatest love story of all time (Our love story) is the story of the love that God has for us, now that love story I can definitely assure you is one that you'll never regret. It has all the mushiness and oh so cute moments, it is the story of a loving father that loves you no matter what you have done, what you are doing and what you are planning to do. This father is one that loves without conditions, like there is no 'if' when it comes to Him it is all I love you despite and did I mention that He loved you even before you were born and keeps loving you everyday...

"Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out;

  you formed me in my mother’s womb.

I thank you, High God—you’re breathtaking!

  Body and soul, I am marvelously made!

  I worship in adoration—what a creation!

You know me inside and out,

  you know every bone in my body;

You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit,

  how I was sculpted from nothing into something.

Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth;

  all the stages of my life were spread out before you,

The days of my life all prepared

  before I’d even lived one day."

-PSALM 139:13-16 (MSG)
