Hold out for what is real...

WOW...it's been a while, yet again! Please forgive me! I've been super busy--had the flu, in and out of town for the past three weeks--sheer crazyness. But, I am here now NEVER FEAR! Anywho, I just read something in Perry's (pastor of NewSpring Church) blog that moved me. The blog was about True Love and how America has chosen to distort it. I couldn't help but be touched by this because I have never known true love until now and I feel I need to share this with everyone. I don't want any one to have to go through what I went through to be where I am now. The blog was amazing in it's entirity, but this is the one section grabbed me,
Singles–my challenge to you is HOLD OUT for what is REAL! If he’s trying to get in your pants…or your relationship is based on something other than true love–then you may have what Hollywood has…vomit…and the pain that it will bring will leave a scar.
Do not be tempted to sell yourself short. You are a son or daughter of the King. If you were a parent and you were going to give your child something, wouldn't you want to give them the best. That's what your heavenly Father wants for you. Don't settle for the pain that a Hollywood "love" can cause you. What God has in store for you will blow you away, it won't be peachy 100% of the time, but when God is the center of your relationship, I can assure you that it is the most rewarding experience you could ever imagine. I'll step down from my soap box now...and get into bed. I need lots of energy for tomorrow. I LOVE SUNDAYS!!!! Peace.
