Does anyone know where you can find some good heart tape? It needs to be strong enough to hold the heart together when it begins to break. Adhesive enough to hold the pieces in place as you put it back together. I believe that item would sell out for DECADES!!! I would invest every dime I had in that product!
But until someone invents it, we need the next best thing to heart tape. That would be discernment and wisdom when we are in the midst of a relationship. I know, the last thing that comes into play is wisdom or even discernment. Because our heart begins to run things based upon what it feels, not what it knows.
For this reason, it is important that we know the difference between a man who “wants” us and a man who has “chosen” us.
What did you say? Want us? Chose us? What are you talking about? I will explain.
Wanting us and choosing us are two different events. One is based on short term fulfillment, the other is based on a lifetime commitment.
In our relationships we have all cried over a broken romance. Either we have heard it said to us or somewhere in the back of our heads we have decided that the person who broke our heart did not “want “ us. I am here to let you know that he did want you. Every moment he spent with you was the fulfilling of a want. He wanted to call, he did. He wanted to spend time with you, he did. He wanted to come over late and leave early the next morning. He did that. He exercised every “want” he had for you. What you have to realize is that at best, to be wanted is a short term, short lived emotion. It has everything to do with what is happening right now. It has nothing to do with what will happen later.
When he chooses you, he is including you in his future. Every move today is about securing tomorrow. He begins to talk about his career choices, his goals, and his plans. When he presents a ring, he is securing you for every tomorrow. He has made the commitment in his heart and mind to cover you with his name, his love, his protection and his life. That is not done on a whim. Those are big picture decisions.
If you know who you are dealing with, your need for heart tape will lessen. You won’t need it. Your discernment and wisdom will increase. You don’t have to offer up your heart in something that is only for moments at a time. Save your heart for someone whose conversation is about a future…with you.
