"Sola, it's not a crime to be in love but it's a
crime to fall in love when you know nothing about love", Mama replied as
she adjusted her old concave lens.
"How do you mean mama? Tell me more", Sola
replied, hoping to glean some truths from her grandmother's experience.
"Sola, being in a love relationship is one of the
best things that can ever happen to you in life when you're in with the right
person. It is also a nightmare to be in love with the wrong person in life.
Love is not a difficult thing when you have carefully and prayerfully found the
right person.
Before I married my husband, your grandfather, several
men came my way who had what it takes to be a husband. In fact, I can remember
that there was one who had what I wanted in a man but thank God I wasn't carried
away. I went back to God in prayer. I'm not a prophet but I understand how God
speaks to me.
Many of our young children nowadays do not know that
there's time for everything in life. Sola, there’s time to be in love and a
time never to be in love.
Don't be in love when you know nothing about love.
Don't be in love when you're not mature to handle the demands
of a love relationship.
While waiting to be married, build strength, gather
enough emotional, mental and psychological strength you need that would help
you when you're ready to commit your heart to love.
If God wanted us to be in love when we're born, He'd have
given us a partner as soon as we're given birth to. But He does all things
according to plan and time. Now that you're not married, learn, prepare, grow
up and improve your life.
It's better to take your time before you fall in love
than to hurriedly fall in love only to see that you could have done it
better", she narrated.
"Are you listening"? Mama asked to catch her
attention.
"Yes mama, she replied as she fixed her eyes on her
without distraction.
In our days, men deceive ladies with flashy things of
life and ladies too deceive men. If you choose to be in love based on mundane
things, it'll take someone who has better flashy things to take her away from
you.
Don't overrate yourself because you want her to love you.
Don't promise what you don't have or cannot fulfil. Just
be yourself and let love grow naturally. If you induce love, someone else will
seduce it.
"Can you know the depth of a river by dipping your
two legs into it"? She asked her.
"No mama", she replied astonishingly.
Never deep your heart into a love relationship when
you're emotionally vulnerable. Use your head instead. It may be better to have
a headache than to have a heartache. If you want to know about love, learn from
your friends who have good marriages and from the ones who have had a bad
relationship.
Doing this will help you to know what to do when you're
married to the right person.
It is wrong to jump into the river with your two legs
because you want to learn how to swim. Take it easy with life and love, slow
and steady wins the race.
"My daughter, take your time to choose the right
partner to love. Don't rush. Look before you leap. If you can't see properly or
you are confused with what you see, go to God in prayer. It is a great tragedy
to marry or fall in love with the wrong person. It is a regret you may never
forget in life. Don't trust your heart to choose whom to marry and don't let
anyone impose anyone on you", she explained.
"Finally, trust in the Lord with all your heart and
lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways, acknowledge Him and He
shall direct your path", where can you find it in the bible? She asked
her.
"I think it's in the Book of Psalm", she
replied with a tone of doubt.
"Cherish these truths about love and you'll ever
regret it, she told her affirmatively.
Conclusion
Dear reader, you can learn everything about love from
anywhere but don't forget that knowing the right person to love cannot be known
through worldly philosophies. If you don't love the right person, everything
you have learned about love will be useless.
Seek God's face who knows the heart of all men before you
commit your heart to love. Love is not as difficult or wicked as many people
name it. With wisdom, knowledge, understanding and the right partner, you'll
enjoy a blissful relationship.
