THE PAINFUL LONGING FOR A LUSCIOUS LOVE

"Pain is the range of unpleasant sensation produced by illness or harmful physical contact, hurt suffering, discomfort, distress, soreness, ache, aching, pang, spasm, cramp...

Longing is a feeling of intense desire...

Luscious is richly sweet in taste or smell, over rich"

-Sara Tulloch

I had a conversation with a friend of mine just yesterday. I told him, "I don't know if I am being stupid, emotional, immature or what, but I am looking for love that is pure, a love that God approves of, a love that will make everything happen, a love that will make my career and my girlfriends or wife's career to match or connect like it's meant to be, a love that will not make me feel like I am working to hard to make sure that everything goes well", he said "stop looking".

Love in this generation is hard to find, I have noticed that when the bible says love you're wife and she will submit does not work in our generation simply because love is not found. Today we marry because our friends are getting married, we marry because of sex, we get into relationships because were insecure of ourselves or with ourselves and we want people to make us look and feel good, sometimes we get into relationships because we are rejected by our friends or families or maybe both so we want a sense of belonging.

Have you ever had a sense of 'painful longing for a luscious love', have you ever sat down and said to yourself that I need love, I need love, I need love. Today I am not going to give you ways on how to get love or how to wait for love but I want to encourage you to remain true to yourself and true to God. Searching and waiting is not neccesary today.

I have realized that most of the times people that get hurt are the people that are looking for love or waiting for love. When you look for love many men and women come and go, they have sex with you and they destroy you then after they leave you. When you wait for love different people approach you because of your good looks and you end up thinking it's the right person and you end up settling for second best, only to find they are with you because of title and position.

We all have a painful longing, we crave for, desire and need love now and we feel like if we got it then we will get married and have a wonderful life without worry. We feel like if it were to happen to us that we get what we desire (love) that all heaven will be for us. Yet it's painful because we never get it, we never get the chance to get the right person or experience'

This luscious love is an awesome kind of love that makes people melt in each other's arms but where can we find it today? The sweet love, the over rich love, the love that will make a relationship last for all eternity between two people. It's nowhere to be found, most possibly does not exist -others believe.

I had an enlightenment, why don't you stop looking and stop waiting on that luscious love and start being you, loving you and be truthful to God and yourself. I believe that a person falls in love with the person inside, not the looks and how they dress and how tall and sexy they are but simply who they are inside. 

Last night I had to accept that I am in love with this other beautiful good looking young lady, she loves God and fears him, yet last night we did not talk and I felt so out of place becaus of that, and a privious night before that we spoke for 8 hours straight. I had to accept the reality that I am dating her or we are not together, though she may know how I feel, we are not together until we both decide that we will get in this relationship and see how far we will go and if we marry Bless God.

I myself am longing for this luscious love but at the moment it is just a 'painful longing for a luscious love'. I want to encourage you to find yourself in God, in yourself, in you're community, in you're family and one day, just one day love which is pure and rich in God, goodness, mercy and grace will follow you and it will abound in and to you. Do not chase after or wait for love but be yourself. 

Stay true and forget about the 'painful longing for a luscious love'.

As painful as that sounds, I am William 'Hlogi' Seitshiro and these are my words.
