THE LOVE TRIANGLE

Fatal Attraction

I started writing this article a while ago while I was on holiday; I came up with a theory about our ultimate love triangle, which I believe every single person faces at some point in their life. Our love triangle is made up of the most typical love triangle, stuck between two persons the one that loves you and the one you love but shouldn’t.  The one that loves you is usually the one you should be with, this is the person in movies that is the perfect sweetheart always there to pick the pieces up when the one you love breaks your heart. The one you love is the person that you are supposed to run away but you don't, this is the person in movies that is the hunky bad boy/the obnoxious hot girl, you know the eye candy type.

Sometimes I feel like the world is that hunky bad boy or the obnoxious hot girl, attractive but fatal. Like the bad boy type the world has no substance, makes promises but never actually fulfills them. Wants so much from you yet gives nothing in return. Acts like you cannot live without them but adds no value to your life. At first glance it looks like that’s where you want to be but just like a relationship with the hunky bad boy type is toxic so is  any relationship with the world, the thrill only last so long. It leaves you bitter not better. There is really not much you can say about the hunky bad boy but just pick your feet up and run!!

While on the other hand having a relationship with the perfect sweetheart is like a relationship with God. At first glance you actually don’t realize how beautiful they are because, they are more about revealing who they are inside rather than how they look like on the outside. You look at the perfect sweetheart and you are just like what could they possibly offer me, they will love me to boredom; they will make me grow old quickly. And you say to yourself I want the fairy tale but I don’t want anything serious right now. I want to have fun!! And in the same way we sometimes look at God and we have the same expression, thinking that being in a relationship with Jesus is boring. But just like the sweet guy once you actually get to know him he is cooler than you’d expected and so it is with Jesus.  You will be surprised how much fun He actually is, how daring He is, He will blow your mind away every single time, you will be changing and you won’t even realize that you are changing. You will never be the same again. 

And that hunky guy called the world will still be attractive to your eye and he will still try to lure you back but once you have tasted and seen how good the Lord is, that he saves you from your sins, how He heals, how he leads and the exceeding hope that He gives, hope that does not disappoint, you will stand and declare everything I counted as value or purpose at all, now I consider them as a loss to be with you.
