How I finally fell in love with the guy who has been asking me out since childhood.
It sounds funny right? How can a normal being continue asking a girl out for such a long time?
Since I was a child he has always told me he loves me. At times I even offend him deliberately to quench the love ,yet he will still say ” I love you” …what kind of a guy is he? I wondered.
I didn’t want to start up a relationship with him because I felt he was too boring for my liking and because he likes to interfere in my personal issues. Imagine, he will tell me what to put on, where to go and where not to, the kind of friends I should have, name it.
I turned down his proposals a lot of times ,yet he will still come proposing another day.
This guy doesn’t give up!
To be sincere this guy is cute , loving , caring , rich, sweet, has a big heart , he is cheerful and so on. Yet, I couldn’t just agree because I felt I will not be free to do what I want around him.
Even after turning down his proposals , I still meet him when I’m in need , the funny part of it is that he still gives me more than I ask for. His love for me is unconditional. And that was how he continued asking me out till I became an adult.
I thought this love must have died off but I was wrong , this love became fresher and increased the more. I kept on turning down his proposals until one faithful morning , he came as usual but this day was different , the atmosphere was solemn, my heart melted as he muttered the words ”I love you and will always love you” I felt this true love inside of me ….that day has been the best day of my life , I just couldn’t say NO to him anymore. I saw how wicked and dirty and how wretched I was before him , I was so sorry for turning down his proposals severely , the next statement he made was I’ve forgiven you and from now onwards I’m going to take care of you.
This kind of proposal was different , it was more than a scene of a guy kneeling down before a lady with a ring , it was directed to my heart, and I said YES with the whole of my heart.
Guess what.
All this while I’ve been thinking the opposite because my life became sweeter since I said yes.
I feel safe, I feel loved ,I feel healthy I’m happy around him.
And do you know what? he said the house I was staying wasn’t good
enough, he said he is preparing a mansion for me, this mansion is not an ordinary one, it is built with gold and in this mansion there’s no darkness , no tears , no sorrow , life in this mansion is joy unspeakable..
The good news is that this mansion is so big that it can accommodate any one and everyone who wishes to come in.
This Guy’s name is Jesus, he still loves you like he loved me , his love is unconditional.
He is still saying, Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden I will give you rest( Mathew 11:28) .
Are you still thinking like I thought??
Just give him a try , all he needs is your heart, you won’t regret it.
Sometimes I regret why I didn’t say yes earlier than I did, don’t make same mistake friends, repent now!
Your Life can only
become better when you accept him because he loves you and will always love you..
Of course now I know he isn’t a normal being , he is immortal.. His love can’t be quantified.
Turn to Jesus today!
