True love is worth waiting for and you will know in your heart of hearts when it arrives. I believe the most costly mistake for women is falling for it before its time and making an investment that has no return potential. We as women make that mistake all too often. We overly extend our mind, body and our will oftentimes for the sake of what we believe equates to “true love”. Our nature consist of many characteristics and personality traits that can sometime land us in a bad mental, physical and emotional state; one we’d rather not be in but because of our lack of emotional intelligence (the ability to identify, assess, and control the emotions of oneself, of others, and of groups); we have a hard time of getting out of that place. There are a majority of reasons why we as women stay in stuck mode concerning our "love” life and relationships; I will list only a few: Inability or unwillingness to be alone; longing for something or someone that is artificial; desiring the wrong type of mate; refusing to love oneself first and accepting who you are; believing the lies that were spoken over your life from your ex or others and the list goes on and on. The word of God lets us to know that Jesus came to seek those who are lost Luke 19:10. When he speaks of the lost; it is a figurative term as it relates to your soul being lost (without Christ). When he said that those that hunger and thirst after righteousness shall be full; he provided assurance to the believers and unbelievers that if you give your life for him; you will experience the fullness of what life offers and that includes your uniquely designed mate (husbandman). More so than you giving your life and casting all your cares on him; he desires for us to be whole in every area of our lives; knowing our true sense of worth and value as the pure form being he created us to be. Once you discover who you are in God and what your bloodline consist of; you experience “true love”; love that will never fade away; harm you; use and abuse you; or jeopardize your worth, values and morals. Then and only then; will you be able to embrace all that God has for you as it relates to true love with the opposite sex. No longer will you accept or allow the artificial form of what God is attempting to provide to you.

Great blog Montreal! True unconditional, uncompromising love definitely is intimacy worth waiting for. As young, sophisticated women and women on the raise, we have to start looking at a men's/boy’s heart. We have to ask ourselves, is he a true Christian following Christ and passionate about his father's business? Is he a man after the heart of God? These are the questions we have to ask. If a man/young boy cannot learn to love God selflessly and to make the sacrifices that God has instructed for his life as his ruler and master, then it is only foolish of us to think a man will do that for us. Be encouraged all my single ladies and young ladies! Despite what people say, they are men/ men in the making out there that love Jesus and that will love you but we first must love ourselves enough not to settle for anything less than God’s best for our lives.
