True love...

How do you know that it is true love?
Do we listen to what Hollywood has told us love is? Or do we turn to God, and what His Word tells us love is?
I think that we have allowed the television and movies to teach us what love is instead of turning to the One who created love in the first place. God is the author and creator of everything we have today and can study about the past. This includes love. He created Adam & Eve to be together, as husband and wife, to love one another eternally, not just until the next best thing comes along.
It seems like today we have lost site of what true love is. Even if we found it, would we know it? We have been brainwashed into thinking that this fake idea of love is true, when in fact how many of us actually want it? If we were being honest with ourselves, do we want true love as God describes in His Word, or the fake, temporary, Hollywood version that is portrayed in front of our eyes continually to see?
Me? I waited years to find biblically based true love. And do you know what? It is a million times better than anything Hollywood has every presented to us on the big screen. Knowing that my fiancé and I share the same beliefs and wants out of the gift God gave us of each other, makes it so much better than anything Hollywood could have written up. Following what God tells us is correct for each stage of our life is the best way to go. If only more people today would wait for God's timing and what His plan is for their life instead of taking it upon themselves to find the fake version of love that is able to be watched all the time.
Thank You Lord for Destry! Loving him is more than I could have imagined and he was well worth the long wait I had... I will marry him proudly in September!
