"Do not make someone a priority who makes you an option." I heard this quote recently and have not been able to get it off my mind...for multiple reasons. I have unfortunately experienced being considered an option by others whom I considered a high priority in my life...repeatedly. It hurts...deeply. I know the heartache of being pushed aside as if I meant nothing to them after I had shared my heart and life with them. I may never understand why this happened by individuals least expected to make this choice...or who even promised to never walk away. But it did.
However...I know that true, genuine, unconditional and selfless love does not merely walk away. Deuteronomy 31: 6 says "Be strong and courageious. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you or forsake you." God says He loves us. He proved His love for us. He continues to love us and He will never walk away! How amazing! How life-changing! I pray that because He loves us, our love for others will not be so temporary. There are precious lives who so desperately need to know they are loved! May we all learn to make each life a priority...and never make someone's life an option! ♥~thl
