And while scrolling through the monster that is Instagram, I found myself bombarded by thoughts of missed opportunities and past failures (especially in the realm of relationships) that left me torn over whether I ought to be singing about my blessed singlehood, or moping over my obvious lack of a valentine (again) this year.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>If I could be honest, God\u2014No offence, but I wish I was writing this to an actual guy (a real physical boyfriend), instead of You. But then again, I\u2019m also reminded that this is our 22<sup>nd<\/sup> Valentine\u2019s Day together\u2014how did You even manage to stick around for so long?! Heaven only knows.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In our time together\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>You\u2019ve seen how fickle I can be in my affections\u2014on fire for the things of You in one moment, and losing all fervor in the next when things don\u2019t go the way I want them to.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>You\u2019ve seen me fall head over heels over the wrong boys and nosedive straight into rejection.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Despite Your warning signs, You\u2019ve seen me chase after love that wasn\u2019t meant to be, then watched as I ever so slowly (and more often than not\u2014reluctantly)\u2026 trailed back to You with my heart broken in all sorts of places. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Woah, I can be such a mess, huh? <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>If I were You, I would have upped and abandoned this relationship a long time (or at least, several heartbreaks) ago.<\/em><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>But I\u2019m so glad that You\u2019re not like me. Thank You for staying even when my wandering heart wondered and wandered in pursuit of every other affection except Yours. Thank You for still loving me even when I had nothing to offer in return. There I was, with the meagre scraps of me, begging for others to \u201cPlease like me\u201d, when You already loved me with no conditions.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I must confess that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/decibel.one\/where-is-god-in-my-waiting\/\">waiting isn\u2019t the easiest thing to do<\/a> <\/strong>especially when it seems like who I\u2019m waiting for might not be on the way after all\u2014you know, what if there isn\u2019t a man out there for me? What if I\u2019m the <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">un<\/span>fortunate recipient of the gift of celibacy? What if there\u2019s just something innately wrong with me and no one would ever fancy being with me? What if I\u2019m too quirky and weird and no one would ever understand or find me attractive?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Yet\u2026 On this Valentine\u2019s Day, I\u2019ll choose to believe that even in this season of waiting, You are building me up as an individual and establishing me as Your beloved child. Keep my eyes fixed on you before everything else. Let the sweetness of a life and a relationship with You precede everything else. Let Your love be enough even before anyone else loves me.<\/em><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>No matter who loves me next, I know that You loved me first; You have and will always be the One who loves me the most.<\/em><\/strong><em> Even before I put on my best for anyone else, You have already loved me at my worst. And I\u2019d be a fool to think that anyone will ever love me as much as You do.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Love,<br \/>\nJ\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><p>The thing about journaling is that four years later, when I look back at what I wrote, I realize that things are both different, but in some ways, still the same. I\u2019m now in a relationship with the man <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">whom I guess likes quirky and a little bit of weird<\/span> of my dreams, but my need for God\u2019s love hasn\u2019t waned one bit. In fact, I dare say I need it more these days, to have love for not just one, but two.<\/p>\n<p>I know it\u2019s hard to believe that God\u2019s love is all you need, especially on the days when the loneliness is more palpable than the warmth of His love. And I\u2019ll let you in on a secret: that feeling doesn\u2019t necessarily go away even when you\u2019re in a relationship (<em>gasp<\/em>) because the truth is, true love and satisfaction can only come from Love Himself, Jesus Christ (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=1+John+4%3A16&amp;version=NKJV\">1 John 4:16<\/a>)\u2014regardless of your relationship status.<\/p>\n<p>The unquenchable love that you\u2019re looking for can only be found in Him\u2014the One who made all the delicate, inner parts of you and knit you together in your mother\u2019s womb (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Psalm+139%3A13-14&amp;version=NLT\">Ps. 139:13-14 NLT<\/a>). The One who made you and chose you for love, and to be loved most perfectly by Him.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t get me wrong, I\u2019m not asking you to remain single for the rest of your life. But if you\u2019re still waiting to see breakthrough in the area of relationships, know that your answer starts not in looking for a life partner, but in being satisfied by the love of the Lord. Psalm 37:4 (TPT) says, \u201cMake God the utmost delight and pleasure of your life, and He will provide for you what you desire the most.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>God isn\u2019t oblivious to the desires of your heart and He delights in doing good to you (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Jeremiah+32%3A41&amp;version=MSG\">Jer. 32:41 MSG<\/a>) and in giving you good gifts (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Matthew+7%3A11&amp;version=NKJV\">Matt. 7:11<\/a>)\u2014whether it\u2019s to have a glorious relationship or to have kingdom friends to walk this journey of life with!<\/p>\n<p>So, if it\u2019s been some time since you\u2019ve spoken to the Lover of your soul, would you take this chance to pen down your thoughts to Him? As you allow Him to lavish His love on you, you\u2019ll find the true satisfaction that comes when your heart is satiated by the love of its Maker.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"share-box fusion-sharing-box boxed-icons\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff;\" data-title=\"To the one who feels lonely this Valentine\u2019s Day, read this.\" data-description=\"To the one who feels lonely this Valentine\u2019s Day, read this. \r\n\r\nJoey O | 4 min read \r\nA Letter from My Former Self\r\n\u201c\r\nFebruary 14, 2015\r\n\r\nDear Jesus, \r\n\r\nSo, it\u2019s Valentine\u2019s Day, again.
