This is my story of how I fell in love. I have left certain stuff but I want to tell my beloved I love you honeybee.
I never could find happiness or love when I was younger. I came from a Christian home and was at first afraid to bring home a girl as mum and dad are very devout and protective of me. This left me feeling down, frustrated, alone and unloved.
Also, at work and at school I was bullied and teased for many reasons, mainly because I didnt fight back.
Then aged 19 I met someone who mum and dad ministered to (Dad used to Pastor a church) and we got closer. It was at this time that my life was committed to God. We went places and had meals together, but she wanted more. God stopped me from consumating the relationship and I had to reject her, when she wanted me to spend the night. Needless to say she didnt understand and that hurt.
During the years after that I had listened to God and made many mistakes but gradually got closer to Him. I took on various duties such as deacon, treasurer, Sunday School teacher, etc in the church but still could not meet anyone. I used to lay awake at night and cry myself to sleep sometimes but prayed for God to provide someone.
In 1985 aged 25 I went on a holiday and there was a girl I loved but never told her. We met on holiday and I kept writing and rewriting letters saying I loved her (some letters had 10 rewrites) but I never actually told her and she married. It was so hard to go to her wedding and have lost touch with her.
I went through a barren time after that and my relationship with God got colder for a while. I started going to pubs and clubs and using text dating and personals services but never could meet anyone.
Then I got knocked over by a car this year and God renewed is relationship with me. I was told about this place and instantly made loads of friends with a similar mind for God. I found myself helping others and ministering to them.
One day I was in TalkJesus and these 2 girls were in the chatroom. One of them said she had a thing for this guy and was too shy to tell him. I helped her and we became friends. We didnt realise what was soon to happen. Soon after that she had a bereavement and I found that she had had a lot of pain in her life.
Recently she was alone in the prayer room and she told me that she had been asked out by the man she had feelings for before but she turned him down because she had feelings for me. I had a decision to make. I went for a jog and sought God's will and was led to ask her to be my true love. She was so happy and we began to fall in love.
The weeks that have followed have been great as we have become more and more attracted to each other. The biggest breakthrough came though when God asked me to sacrifice my love for her and to give it to Him as a gift. It was hard but I did it and my love for her grew even more, but now with God in control. We now plan to meet soon and be a lifelong couple in love and loving Jesus.
Now I know the reason why I never truly fell in love before was that God wasnt put first and also it wasnt the right time. I would encourage anyone lonely out there to Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.
God bless you and hope this has encouraged you.
