Don’t Let a Broken World Define Love for You
Society has a definition for everything, in fact, society can give you a million meanings, views, opinions and objectives about a single topic but one thing you must never allow the world to define for you is “LOVE”.
We all define things based on our personal experiences and in the world, we are in presently a higher percentage don’t know what love is, just a lot of broken people with mics, offended and bitter individuals with influence on social media, how do you explain love to that young girl who grew up seeing her father constantly beating her mother, and yet they call it to love, she gets into the society and sees girls like her going into a relationship just for the money. How do you teach that young boy who was an object of molestation by his so-called aunt and house help, and his father was too busy to give him the right identity of who is? To him, he must be rich before he is loved and to her, she must be ready to give her body in exchange.
He is in a toxic relationship but society tells him if he leaves he will be a failure and there are no better people out there, he isn’t allowed to be weak or show his weakness, he can’t show or express the pain he is going through, we all are the same so the good guy has decided to settle with what he has, live his forever with what might lead him to his early grave.

She is just an object of enjoyment, she is needed to ease his body of stress when it is full, the social media and the celebs she follows have taught her to endure, and what she has is what millions of ladies out there are desperate to have so she stopped looking at herself in the mirror, she starts telling herself maybe he isn’t that bad, maybe I’m the problem, I guess there are no better ones there and we all have to settle for whatever we have.
But I tell you, that’s a big lie society can only give what it has and unfortunately Love sometimes can be a treasure no one is ready to seek.
This is me telling you, that you deserve to experience God’s version of love and you must be ready to give it too. Don’t join them to say “Men are scum” or “True love doesn’t exist”.
You’re a jewel and you deserve the best so don’t settle for what we kill you.
