Mistakes and Boys
By Beatrix C.
I made the biggest mistake of my life. It all started about six months ago. There's this guy, name is Elijah. He is a nice boy, and he's a Christian. Well, as I said, about six months ago I suppose we were dating, but at that time I felt really close to him. My older brother, he went to the same school we went too. Every chance he got, he embarrassed us. After a while, he... let me off. In the most sweetest way he let me off. Broke my heart. God had to really help me through that. Cried myself to sleep that day.
But that's not the point. The point is what I did to turn to try to get him to realize we belong with each other. It was the biggest mistake I could have ever made.
I tried to get him jealous. And the guy I was supposedly dating was one of my friends cousins. I met him once, and that was at my friend's B-day party. I wasn't listening to God when I should have been. Getting tips from him, instead of myself. I really should have known that he wouldn't get jealous. He's a strong Christian after all. Instead he went looking for new love. The new girls was my friend. We were always called twins because we looked like each other, and acted like each other. He even liked her for the same reasons he did me. :'( Now, it sounds like I'm just spilling my guts right now, and I partly am. But heres what I'm trying to get you to see. Don't do those things girls. Getting another guy, to make the other guy jealous. Don't do it. It's stupid. Almost never works. And it's not the Godly thing to do. I should have just let him fall back in love with me. He thought I didn't like him anymore cause I was using the other guy. I even told him that's why I "dated" the other guy. To get him jealous. He actually wasn't surprised at all. Well, his response implied he wasn't.
Now this is a mistake lots of girls make. You can't make somebody love you. God can't make you love Him. Love can't be forced. It doesn't work that way. Girls take this story as a lesson for yourselves. Don't do it. Seek God. Be quiet, listen for Him with your heart. Seek advice and guidance for situations like this from God. Just trust Him unlike I did. Don't go out there and do what you think needs to be done for something to happen. Do what God says to be done. 'Nuf said. You get the point by now don't you?
