Have you ever seen someone go overboard in all that they do for love? Some individuals silently scream, “Love Me!” Every action or deed is saying they want to feel love from someone. This phenomenon is especially true in one-sided relationships where one individual shows more love than the other. But, as women of all ages desire a solid, loving relationship with someone, it can be easy to lose focus with the slim pickings of men. Although I have no statistical data, it appears that women seek a personal relationship with someone more. Moreover, women seem to outnumber men. If true, there are fewer available men than women.
Nevertheless, dear sisters, you do not have to depend on a man for love. Furthermore, hear this clearly: You cannot make someone want or love you. If you must beg for love, try to buy love or tell the individual, “Love Me!” that is a problem. Undoubtedly, each day you look in the mirror, you must say to the image looking back at you, “Love Me!” Hence, how can we expect someone else to love us if we don’t love ourselves? Please, ladies, no slumbering or sleeping regarding love and relationships. First, love God; then, you can love yourself, and next, you can love others. Nonetheless, anyone you choose to love beyond your Godly love for humanity should be someone worthy of your love.
As I conclude, I am not sure who this post is for, but I know that God put it in my heart. It is a reminder to love yourself, not to change who you are, to have the love of someone. God knows each of our needs and desires. Most of all, He is a compassionate and merciful God. Additionally, He is a healer of the brokenhearted. We do not have to scream with our actions, “Love Me!” to anyone who listens. Remember, some individuals will take advantage of your soft heart. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 1 John 4:8. I’ll be back next week with a new post, “Past, Present, Future!”
Be encouraged, and God bless!

So very clearly stated. When you said, “not to change who you are, to have the love of someone”, that statement brought back something I was taught as a young woman by some very wise elder women. They told me to don’t start nothing in a relationship of any kind that I wouldn’t want to or couldn’t keep up with doing… they said because whatever you did to get them, you will have to continue doing it to keep them. They said to just be myself, to be true to myself and not try to be something that I was not just to please anyone.
I Thank you again for “real talk”!
Amen! Those were some wise women! Thank you so much for sharing those thought-provoking words. Continue to enlighten others so they may walk in wisdom. May heavenly blessings and God’s grace be with you.
