I've recently been thinking a lot about relationships. Not necessarily the ones I've been in, or the ones other people are in at the moment, but relationships in general. I've been particularly interested in the fantasy land people, like myself, live in. When we have a "crush" on someone, or when we're genuinely attracted to them, what sparks that? Well like I said... I've been thinking.
I am a believer in the fact that God has certain people for you in your life for different reasons. Be it a boyfriend for a bad relationship run, or a friend for a lifetime. Nevertheless, (great band btw) people are in our lives for a reason and for a season. Lately every time I talk to someone about someone they like though, everything seems mixed up. They talk about how skinny the person is, how tall they are, how white their teeth are, how scruffy the hair, how uh, voluptuous the figure, how tan the skin, how clear the face, how firm the abs. It's ridiculous. And it upsets me to no end.
No, I'm not saying that we aren't supposed to be attracted to people. I'm not saying that people who are "hot" by the worlds standards are not. Nor am I saying that pale is always the way to go. What I'm saying is, does anyone look for God anymore? I'm starting to doubt it. And when they do find God in someone, they make sure their appearance is up to par as well. If it's not, then oh well, they'll find another God-loving person with better looks. If you all haven't noticed yet, I have a burning inside of me towards the world's view of beauty and the world's view of precious and valuable people. This isn't a complete thought I guess, it's just something to ponder. When you go after someone... is it you going after them, or is it God leading you to them? Is your shallowness leading you away from the true deep relationships God wants you to have? Maybe. Probably more on this later.
