Looking for love in all the wrong places

9/10/07
Many people say that they are “looking for love” or trying to find Mr./Ms. Right. Today, to quote Waylon Jennings, you are “Looking for love in all the wrong places”. Are you truly ready for love? I’ve heard many say that either “no one wants you until you have somebody” or “You can’t find a good looking person until you get into a relationship.” I stretch forward to say that if this you, you are looking for love in ALL of the Wrong places. How is that you can not find what you want until you have something? It seems that there is an issue with always wanting to “trade up”.
Are you:
Knowledgeable about who you are and what you want?
Happy with yourself?
A person that knows how to give and share completely?
You where you want to be spiritually?
You where you need to be spiritually?

Maybe the issue is that you are looking past what you see in front of you and living for the next moment and not living in the one that you are in.
Allow me to bring a thought to you: God is Love…
If you say that you are looking for love, you are really saying that you are looking for God. There is something in your life that is missing and you think that you can find fulfillment in someone else.
That process is reversed. Matthew 6:33 states, "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." You should seek God 1st. A mate is a gift from God. Why would you seek the gift before seeking the giver?
If you have been in a relationship where things “just didn’t work”, you more than likely sought after the person and things just “went South”. I find myself now on the receiving end of a question that I used to ask my friends: How do you know when you have found the right one? When you find the one that He has sent for you, things become effortless. It seems like it was meant to be. You can be open around that person with out the fear of being judged or having to put up a front.
What God has for you it is for you.
A little Food for the Soul…eat well.
