VERTICAL LOVE- the love that is between above and below. You and Christ.
HORIZONTAL LOVE- the love that is face to face. You and your partner.
Love languages have been cut short of soul dances and genuine smiles.
Love has been confined to gifts, lead way, dishonest intentions and stealthy betrayal.
When we search in the wrong places, we ache in the healthy places; this happens when we try to place the wrong puzzle pieces in our missing spots. If the void is in the top corner we can’t fill it with the bottom corners piece.
piece by piece and minute by minute, we were molded by God. We spend our whole life slowly loosing peices of the puzzle by times we didn’t allow God to hold us together.
Fun Fact: your SOULMATE peice was already laid in your puzzle before you felt the warmth of your mother’s womb.
So please answer this for yourself:
which puzzle pieces are you actually missing?
Your puzzle has already been completed, why are you trying to rearrange the pieces?
I think to often our actions against God’s will for us, is what knocks our staircase out of balance, therefore leaving us to fix it before we can make the next step.
Examples of this being; forcing relationship/ friendships. Forcing that Job or career to happen. Forcing yourself to go where the money is. Or to do what everyone else is doing.
You were not created to be aligned with another’s purpose or passion. Although many people have the same passions and/or purposes. God’s will for you to obtain that platform is in difference to the individual task you are meant to carry out.
Dear the one who is forcing it all to work out; your puzzle is already completed. Your broken family is a puzzled part of your purpose, your recent break-up is a part of your purpose, that job you didn’t get; a part of your purpose.
My biggest lesson in life was not moving on and letting things happen as they happen. My biggest lesson was figuring out who’s team I was on. Who’s fighting for me, and Who my audience truly was. All of those anwsers consist of one. Not your mother, not your father, not even your soulmate.
The love that you wish to obtain in any relationship will not hold steady until you figure out for yourself, where that LOVE was originally received. That love; not only in a relationship, but also the love for yourself, the humble love in friendships, and with family members. The give and take; will always be unbalance.
That love: originally received, was when God said “let there be light”.
Was at the cross, where love ran red. Was when he said “forgive them for they don’t know what their doing”.
For when, HE WALKED OUT.
Was for every-time he chose you, when you didn't choose him.
When your vertical love is found, your mindset changes. Your battles are less powerful, your love is new everyday. Your joy is not bouncing off the horizon waiting for the next sun rise of temporary treasures.
Then, and only then. Can you say, “I love you”. Because at that moment you have truly cracked the code, to where love was found and where it remains.
is your love bouncing off the horizon or resting on the clouds?
