He's Not Your Savior

He, as in…your boyfriend, your crush, your husband, your friend, or just any other average joe.

Jun 28, 2017

We all want to be loved. As human’s we are hardwired to desire affection and attention, and that is perfectly alright! In fact, it can be great! The issue evolves when we start turning to a member of the opposite sex for complete satisfaction in every aspect. It is simply impossible for any one person to make you feel 100% desired, loved, and happy 24/7. One person can never completely fulfill us because we were made for a love so much greater.

Now don’t get me wrong, your significant other should absolutely make you feel loved and worthwhile. You just can’t depend on them in every way because they are only human just like you. They can make you laugh, and smile. They can give you a shoulder to cry on when you need it. They can support you in the good times and the bad. They can love you with all their heart, but they can’t save you.

The only one that can “fix” you is the one that made you. If someone hands you a new invention, and you want to know how to use it then you would ask the person who made it for help. You wouldn’t ask a random person standing near you to make it work because they were not the ones who made it in the first place. Just like you would have to ask the creator of the invention for help, you have to ask your Heavenly Father for help in fixing you. Your boyfriend, crush, husband, friend, etc. cannot fix everything that is wrong in your life. That kind of pressure is not fair to them, and it isn’t fair to you.

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no records of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails…” – 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

That is a pretty lengthy list of all that love is, and while he/she should strive to love you like that, the only one who can be all these things all the time is the one who IS LOVE. Jesus is the only one who can completely satisfy you. You are his BELOVED. He loved you first, and He will love you last.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
