So.i was thinking the other day, in a wild assortment of thoughts, about love.
Go figure the subject of a teenage girls thoughts. But seriously. I was wondering about obsession and love. Obsession is considered a bad thing. People who are obsessed are engulfed with one thought, one person, one thing. So can love be considered obsession? Love is one of those sacred things that seems to make things right. So how can it be confused with obsession, which normally is not considered as a good thing.
In our society today, young girls are taught the form of love that i think can be mistaken as obsession. We are taught that you need a guy to make you happy, and once you have one, he needs to be your every thought,and the reason for everything you do, the reason you get up in the morning , the last thought before you go to sleep. So, it should'nt be so uncommon for girls to become obsessed with love.
So is the next thing that people become obsessed with the idea of love? It's shoved down our throats all the time, so we learn to think we need it to survive. Not realizeing all the people we have with us daily who outpoor love on us. But some of us become obsessed with the idea of having love. If were not in love, nothing can be right. They cant be happy without it.
So what if we turned all this obsession for a love to God? If we yearned for a love with him. One that consumed everything :thought,movement, action. But then could that also be a bad thing? Obsession is considred a bad thing. It envloves the mind mostly. So could being obsessed with God end up being a bad? Satan was obsessed with God he wanted to be like him, then he wanted to be even better than him. So could obsession with the only perfect thing twist our broken human thoughts? So maybe love and obsession should be left alone, on their own. Maybe its time we start defining the differance. Sure its fine to be completly happy with one person. Its fine for them to change your mood, or to consume some of your thoughts. But maybe if we were completly in love with God, the thought of being consumed with anything else but him would seem stupid.
In the book im re-reading right now, Redemming love, one of the main character's tells his wife he doesnt want to be the god of her life, just apart of it. He wants to share in her life, love her the best he can but praise God while through out it all. It was an awesome picture to me. We should never let anything take any morsal of a spot that belongs to God. They can just run along with us in our journey with falling more and more in love with God daily.
I leave for a missions trip to Alaska at 11:30 today. I'm so excited. It's going to be amazing i can feel it. I hope God uses me to the max in anything and everything that could possibly be done. I'm praying for a safe flight and all that. Im bummed summers over though. I get back a day before school starts then i enter the big bad world of being a senior. My highschool years are dwindling fast. I have to live this year up. Scary to think college is just around the corner. Im ready for it though. I'm extremly sad i have to leave lindsey for a week. Sorry linds, try and have fun with out me :( AND casey. your crazy dont loose your phone again EVER k? its killing me.
