In Search for Love

We all come to a point in our lives when we would be searching for Love.We'd then launch ourselves in search for Love in the wilderness of the world's realm of Love. Some are lucky, some are not. Some got their happy endings, some got theirs in a bitter end.

As we travel in this pathway of Love, we would experience a lot of its challenges, punishments and rewards. It's not all about the sweet things, but a combination of a variety of elements of Love's challenges.

But the greatest risk of this undertaking in search of Love, is that we are risking our hearts. We can't expect to find the real one at one glance.We are not even assured that we'd find him/her having spent, 3 months,3, years, 7 years, or longer with that person. We should check the reality first, before we go on with our fantasies. Are we really looking at the real diamond or are we looking at a counterfeit? Before we buy it with our emotions, dreams, time, energies, sacrifices and all... we have to know, is it the real thing? or just an illusion?

I had my own painful journey in search of Love before I have learned to go back to the very basics of knowing what Love is really all about. I had been tricked, with my own doing and ignorance. It's like all the while that I had launched myself into the field searching for a diamond, I did not bother knowing from an expert what a real diamond really looks like! So i had picked a lot of fake ones along the way. And each time I picked them, i wasted a lot of myself and my time. Then come this very beautiful stone that I found along my way. It glimmers as the sun rays would hit its surface. Then every time it shimmers I'm mesmerized! I finally said, this is it! I found the one! I found my special stone! But just when I'm so engrossed with my admiration over that special stone, I found out that there's a name engraved on it. It belonged to someone else. Ever so slowly and painstakingly, I have to put that special stone down and move on my way. But I couldn't help it each time I stay some distance from it, I would find myself going back to it again and again that It has become a cycle. A madness indeed. Coz I really don't know what a real diamond really is like, I have deceived my own self that I believed it's the only real diamond left around for me.What if I wouldn't find something like that anymore? Oh why does it have to belong to someone else???

Well...I have been sleeping too long over that disillusionment, for it was never a real diamond in the first place! But of course, I'm not really talking about diamonds. I'm talking about persons. There are those persons you'd think are the One for you, your Mrs. or Mr. Right for you, or your Soulmate. But you really have to be very careful in qualifying these persons, for it is such a terrible plight being in love with the fake ones. Though you could say that it would teach you lessons, yes indeed it's true. But with my experience I could say that it's wise to ask those who have been there before you even embark in the unknown grounds of loving the 'one'. But first and foremost, it is really important to know what LOVE is.

When I was weeping over that fake diamond, God has to comfort me through my friends that He has prepared the real one for me, and that I should not waste my tears for a cheap piece of a suspected diamond. I just have to trust in His loving goodness as my Almighty Father, for He would only give the best for me. He wouldn't allow anything to happen in my life, be it bad or good, that is not part of His great plan for me and my own growth as a person. Bad things may happen to me along the way, but it's in the choices that I make that could make or break me. In those situations, we may choose to use it for our greater learning, or let it stick us to the ground and face life forever as losers.

So then searching for real Love, requires one with consulting our Almighty Father first for He is the author of Love, and in His palms He has written the most beautiful Love story that is only for us. And we should ask guidance from those who have experiences already. It would really save us from many unecessary avoidable heartaches.
