A very special love in my life got my undivided attention when he confirmed for love to have significance, power and reality, it must be defined by both involved parties. Today, two people tell one another that they love each other not realizing just what that means individually. When fulfillment is to be established in a special relationship, it must be understood: LOVE MUST BE DEFINED. “In the story “This Thing Called Love” the characters learn their past decided their meaning of love resulting in unintentional heartache. “I don’t want to talk about it. My stepfather really messed up my mind.” “I know he did because when we were in school you always looked like you had to be careful about everything you said and done. Most of the time when you mentioned him your whole countenance changed.” “Well, you know what happened. But you really don’t understand what it does to a person.” “No, I don’t understand what happens to a person who is molested, but I do know any unjust experience a person has put that person in a position to choose trust or no trust in God.” “That’s so easy to say. But how do you trust God when God wasn’t protecting you from unjust experiences?” “I knew that was coming. God and experiences are separate purposes. Experiences are the circumstances and events we are engulfed in life. God is the force behind it all. Because we don’t understand everything, does not mean God should be less.” “Try explaining that to someone who has been raped, Andrew!” “I didn’t say it is an easy acceptance. I just want you to understand a lot of our suffering is because we have painted too small of a picture of life. Life is more than just being a victim.” “You’ve never been victimized. You have no clue of how your heart and mind get disconnected from each other. And, you don’t know what it feels like to lose contact with the person you were before it happened.” “Do you really think there are people who exist who have not been victimized? Sexual abuse isn’t the only victimization there is. People hate me because I am white, wealthy and attractive. Do you think it’s easy for me to have friends and someone to love me for me?” “What has happened to you, Andrew?” “I’ve been robbed and held at gunpoint. Women have pretended to love me; in reality they wanted my money. Men actually roll their eyes at me when they see me walking into stores or restaurants. Try living with envy. Trust me it hurts.” “I didn’t know. How do you hold on to yourself without being mad all the time?” “I choose to feel the best feeling I can come up with and it always have God somewhere in it.” “You don’t blame God for not protecting you?” “I’m alive. Case closed.” |
