The past couple days I've been contemplating the ability for people to take chances when it comes to loving and giving someone the opportunity to love you back. It seems that once you open yourself up to the idea of loving someone and giving them the chance to be in your life, something just goes completely wrong for one reason or another. The hurt you feel consumes you and you vow that you will never let that happen to you again, vow that it will be a cold day in hell before you get your heart broken again. Because of what you're feeling at that moment you may be making the wrong kind of vow for yourself. You might just be saying that you never want to love or be loved again. My issue with this is that people always say that experience is the best teacher, so how could you possibly learn anything from just one experience? Personally, I have never been one to take risks because I was always afraid of what the outcome would be. I have always stayed within my comfort zone. But when you look back over your life do you want to regret that you missed the love that could've been because you were too afraid to step out of your comfort zone? From another view point 1 John 4:18 says that "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear...". This is a perfect example of the attitude we should all have. We shouldn't be so quick to build up a wall and block ourselves off from the wonderful things love can bring. Love is beautiful, and it's even better when you can allow yourself to experience it wholly and completely by being open to the many possibilities. I understand that no one wants a shattered heart but I would think that having had to go through heartache would make you appreciate REAL love that much more. For some, love is just a word or how much money they have in their wallet, but when you can hear it in their voice, see it in their eyes and feel it in their touch then you know its REAL. I feel we owe it to ourselves (ladies more specifically) to take that chance and open up our hearts again even when we feel that we've been through too much. If you don't, then the other person wins and they hold that power over you. Love is worth the chance and so are we...
