I've known people who will only love you if.. If you think the way they do. If you treat them like royalty all the time. If you do all the things they ask of you. If you never make them feel guilty for a one-sided relationship. If you basically lay down and let them walk all over you.
I've been there, done that, cried and ate myself silly over it. I felt worthless and undeserving of love. Christ showed me that I didn't love myself enough to refuse to be in relationships that weren't balanced and healthy.
After much prayer and soul searching, Christ helped me identify the things that led me to one way relationships. Also, Christ let me know His love is unconditional and knows no time limits. When I turned these issues over into Christ's very capable hands rather than turning to food, I was able to give up unhealthy traits and be willing to wait for a relationship that was healthy. It was most definitely worth the wait!
Because these posts are examples of how I've applied these Bible verses to my life, they don't necessarily reflect the whole meaning of the Bible verse. Debbie
