LOVE
STORY
"I wanna be loved like that!" - That is what I often say
to myself when I am there gazing upon the big Hollywood screen of
all romantic movies! Boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl,
boy and girl get married, and all live happily ever after.
I know that is what so many of us dream for and long for. But as
Catholics, as believers in God for that matter, we need to trust!
Trust that God knows what He is doing with our love lives. Trust
that His time, not ours, is the best timing. Trust that He is preparing
that prince or princess for us every day and we have to continue
to prepare ourselves as well. I know that is hard in this 'sex-driven'
world that we live in. We must not give in to the pressures that
say, "I must have a boyfriend/girlfriend!" - I have to
go all the way or he wont like me anymore." - "I have
to buy her these things or she won’t be my girlfriend anymore!"
The temptations of our human body sometimes feel so strong, that
we can't help but give in to them. But be strong faithful soldiers!
Pray, pray and pray some more you faithful lovers! Ask your Guardian
Angel to help you keep strong and pure. Ask our Blessed Mother to
watch over you and your future spouse to keep you holy and chaste.
Pray for God's will, maybe He even wants you to consider a religious
vocation as a sister, brother or priest. Be open to His call for
you! God will grant you the desires of your heart. God is hearing
your prayers and will answer them in His time! Check out the little
poem below. Do what I did-cut it out, hang it on your mirror or
some place that you will see it daily and read it EVERY day! I promise
it will help to move you along on your journey to your future spouse.
Because we need to remember that the Ultimate Lover loves us more
than we can ever imagine. God loves you more than any human ever
can, so you better learn how to accept and return His love, before
you can even think about accepting and returning the love of a spouse.
So, the next time you catch yourself dreaming about your Hollywood
Love Story, remember that your Heaven Love Story will win more Academy
awards than this world can ever offer!
