Falling In Love With the Wrong Person?

If you can't help whom you love....how does one control the love they feel? The saying goes that you can't control whom you fall in love with. Welll....then what happens what you are in love and you need to control those feelings? Isn't that quite impossible? I say it's the most difficult task you could ever have at hand. If you fall in love...truly....madly....deeply, it's just there. It bears a hole in your heart; it encompasses your being. It becomes who you are.

...think about it. How often have you heard conversations or people referenced to like this: so-and-so's boyfriend, such-n-such's wife. "Oh, he married that beautiful Brazilian woman who's not the brightest crayon in the box." insert waiver-I am not prejudice, my cousins are Brazilian!!! "She married that amazing CEO who makes millions a year. How'd she ever get him?" Oh, shut your mouth; don't even say you've never said anything like that before! I've heard you say it a 1000 different ways. I don't think we say things like that to label people or to act against someone... but eventually you become who you love.

So a woman gets married; takes her husbands name. She BECOMES his wife; she becomes Mrs. husband's name and LAST NAME HERE. A man becomes a married man and no longer is a bachelor; nope you can't "play the field" anymore. You are officially a hubby.

So the love that we carry inside eventually comes out to be what we are. What if you fall in love and it's not "meant to be?" Or what if you fall in love and it isn't the right time? Then what? Then your heart suffers and you must decide how to disguise your feelings? Sure, either one is quite possible, but I don't think that is what God had in mind. Don't you think that He wanted you to love with all your heart? Don't you think that He wanted you to soar high and shout it from the roof tops?? YES! Love was created for us to feel, to yearn for, to drive us forward. Love is our purpose. God wanted us to love Him. But He also said, "Love one another." That love is what creates us who we are. How can we try to keep ourselves from coming out? How can we push our destiny away?

What do you think? Where is our love supposed to go? What are we to do with love that we've tried to stifle, but it doesn't work? What happens when YOU love the wrong person?
