I've found that more often than not, letting go for the time being to guard someone's heart will save them and you in the long run. Not only is it that, but pretty wise as well. I mean you might think you want to save what you have and you don't think it's worth giving up what you have at the moment.
But that's the kind of world we live in now, isn't it? We're told to date for the moment. Even though we know we're most likely not going to be with this person for a long time, or the rest of our lives. But date them anyways, because it feels nice to have someone.
But in reality you're probably going to break up.
With that comes heartache, which tears away at you bit by bit everyday.
Why even bother?
Why not save yourself from hurting yourself and just let go.
Because it's no fun that way.
Because it's not worth letting go.
Let me tell you something.
Dating Spencer was a wild ride. He made me really happy. He made me laugh and I thought he was helping me to be a better person.
But then he liked someone else while we were together.
And started blaming me for things he would do.
And started picking fights with me.
Broke my heart many many times in the year and a half we were together, even while we weren't.
I'm glad that God called me out when He did, saving my heart.
Helping me realize dating at this age, without purpose, was so pointless. It was pointless to put myself in a situation where I'd get hurt. I mean yeah, maybe there'll be a few good times, but is it worth it?
Really?
It's hard when you're holding on to live your life the way God wishes for you to.
He can do such amazing things through you, you just have to let go.
