He's Just Not That Into You
Okay, ever read the book that is graced with the above title?
I picked it up one day in Borders. Let it suffice to say that you would have to be a complete idiot to need this book. For instance:
"I've called and called and called. He 's not returning any of my messages. What's up?"
or
"He just never wants to spend time with me."
Duh.
"HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU!!!"
But unfortunately it's the truth that we often need that. ("We" in this context meaning females.) When it comes to getting, hanging onto a guy or simply fostering crush, we are often sadly blind to the fact that he's just not interested. And every girl can look objectively at her sister's, girlfriend's, roommate's relationship and tell them that "He's just not that into you." But when it comes to her own- well, let's face it ladies, we're a little slow.
We (this time meaning everyone) place so much emphasis and stock in the relationships that surround our life. We build hopes and dreams in humans. Our happiness is too often subconsciously wrapped up in everyone else's actions.
God has been teaching me a lot. Constantly. In some of the most difficult situations. People aren't perfect. When you place your happiness in their hands- well, you're happiness is going to be a pretty patchy, irregular emotion. It won't be true joy.
My trust, my confidence, my faith shouldn't be placed in man's hands. It shouldn't be dependent on others and their actions.
Two thousand years ago a man came to earth. A perfect man. The man who was completely and totally "into me." So into me was he, that he lived a flawless life (despite temptation) and died an excrutiating death so that he could welcome me into his eternal paradise. And today, every day, he loves me with a love so great and unmeasurable that my human brain and heart cannot comprehend it. He is interested in each minute detail of my life. He wants to be with me through it all. With such a gift, with such love, why am I looking around for content in my fellow mankind? Why are people the source of my joy, when GOD died for me to present me with eternal, unchangeable happiness?
Why do I look elsewhere?
Why do I not trust him with my happiness and future?
Why?
When life screams back at me, "He's just not that into you!!!" my happiness is not destroyed.
Because the God of the universe is totally, and completely in control.
He's into me.
That love amazes me.
Wow.
