Excuse me. "I can't lose him" is a statement that leads to abuse. You are a unique creation of the most awesome Creator ever, and you want to be tied to a guy who treats you like a disposable diaper. I'm sorry but, any one who is not able, and willing to treat you like the awesome, wonderful, creature God made you to be, isn't for you. I know you don't feel like you are so awesome and wonderful, but the fact is, you are. You are made to be intimate with God, then one man, then your family, then your friends, community and everyone else. If you aren't intimate with God, you have no way of knowing just how precious a treasure you are. Let me ask you a question. Since God differentiates between you and your behavior, and the enemy of your soul equates you to your behavior, who do you think wants you to hang out with a guy who makes you happy, sometimes? The enemy tells you things like; "He's better than you deserve," "Your not worthy," or "You aren't wanted." God says things like, "Georgia, I love you, I know you haven't been taught what my love really looks like, but I love you even when you." God loves you enough to give you His oxygen to breathe, lungs that function, a body that functions better than it should, considering all that has been done to it, and a heart that turns an electrical impulse into a beat, that pushes the fluid that keeps your body alive around in an intricate, unimitatably complex plumbing system. God allow us to be hurt so that He can redeem and heal us, so we can help others receive His healing. Otherwise no one would ever get healed, and learn to appreciate the healer, because no one can lead anyone else where they have never been. That includes counselors and pastors. God made you to have a unique, intimate relationship with Him, that no one else can mediate. Yes, others can coach, or lead you in some areas of life, but Christ is the only mentor who has already died so that you can truly live. He doesn't ask you to die for Him, like many other gods do, and many others say He does. He died so that you would not have to suffer sorrows and wounds to your soul, forever. He wants to take your sorrows and soul wounds from you, but that means you have to grieve, not clutch onto, what is hurting you. No one has represented Christ well to you, even if some have come close. That is why He is the only One who can heal the wounds of our hearts, allowing our tears to irrigate the wounds so He can suture them shut and help them heal. Take some time. Ask God to make Himself real, and meaningful, in your life. If He isn't real, you don't lose anything. If He is, which I can testify to, you gain more than you can ever imagine. The only way to lose is to assume someone who equates you to your behaviors and maintains authority in your life through deceit and manipulation cares more about you, and is more honest, than the One who made you, and someone who loves you in spite of everything you have ever done.
