Hey guys, how y'all doing? Alright, this is a story about a little something that happened to me, and I feel I should share it with you all.
So if you have had any heartbreak before, wave your hand come on, don't be shy. Alright I can see 1,2,3. . . not you too, You look so young, innocent and inexperienced. But I guess that's the irony of life.
I have also been heartbroken in time past and this is my story.
I met this girl back in my secondary school days. We were in the same class although we weren't dating but we were pretty close. She is cool and all but uhn uhn, we just didn't date. But emotions has a way of messing with someone trust me man. After a while, 4 yrs to be precise, something happened. Yes, the L word. Love happened or something totally different maybe lust. One thing led to another, and we started dating. If you have ever been in love, you will agree with me that such relationship looks unending and sometimes we might say it's the best thing that has ever happened to me and this could be because we feel they are the right person for us. So, our Love journey began. . . "I love you" , "you are my heart ", "you are my all in all". Most nights, even with hunger raging in my belly, assignments, tests nd projects hanging on my neck, I still managed to lie on my bed, put my arms behind my head, cross my legs and smile while thinking of her.
However, everything went south. What I felt was love became a terror to my well being . I could feel she wasn't mostly happy but whenever I asked if all was Ok, she would say yes although that isn't true. Well one day we had an argument, and that was it, we broke up. Just like that! What I perceived as a love ride became mission impossible. If I say I didn't feel a thing that would be lie because I felt bad, I was sad. The relationship had gotten so drab but the fact was that I really loved her and would have done anything for her. ..yes, anything. After the break up, she started posting things like " thank God ", and the likes on her status, like the relationship was a burden, that really sucks though.
Well, I forgave her. During one of my prayers...don't look so surprised, I spend time to pray, and I advice you do the same too. Spend time with God,He has soo much in store for you. . . so, I was praying, and the Holy Sprit brought the whole scenario back to me. He compared it to God and man. He said God loves us so much, and would do anything for us. most often, we take His love for granted and put every other thing before Him. I can't say how he feels but I could relate to that, because I had just been through something similar. I never wanted anything from her but to love me, it is painful that she couldn't. The Holy Spirit then asked me to forgive her, I said I had ( who was I deceiving ). He then said that I should imagine getting married to her. . . WHAT! Are u kidding me? Never, I said. yes, so u can see, I was still angry, and I had not yet forgiven her. The thought of getting married to her was unbearable because she disappointed me. He told me that Jesus would take His bride (we) regardless of how filthy or unworthy we are. If I was going to be like Jesus, I must learn to truly forgive so I imagined and to let go before this emotions wears me down. In my moments of trying to forgive the Holy Spirit whispered to me "you won't marry her", But what He said didn't make me sad or take my Joy away. Infact, I became happier, I understood what He was doing. He was trying to teach me that to truly forgive someone, you need to embrace them and at that point, I truly forgave her. . .
The whole essence of this story borders on Love and Forgiveness.I know you must have been hurt; by that guy or that girl but please forgive them and you would find true joy and peace. You must embrace them in your heart and talk to the Holy Spirit about it, He knows all, and He is more than willing to help you .
That's the end of my story, take care and hey, don't go about Breaking people's hearts expecting them to forgive you. . . that is so not cool.
