Pardon my finding humor in this situation today, but I found it funny that my ability to have an open mind and stay hopeful was doubted today. I mean, the situation in where it was doubted was in no way funny or meant to be, but the fact that He was worried about how I may stay hopeful with an open mind made me, well, laugh. Honestly, those are some of the core characteristics that make me up. I live my life my aiming to stay optimistic - which would be another way to word being hopeful - and then I also have one of the most open minds you could find.
Now, it may seem weird, but I've come to realize something. To me, the physical aspects of a relationship are just, for a lack of better words, a bonus. The real treasure to me is the emotional connection that occurs between two people. If I don't feel that connection, if I don't feel that I can be myself and not be judged when with someone, if I feel that I judge them and don't accept them for who they are, then it just won't work. Thankfully, all of those have proven to be false when I think about when I talk with Him. And I love that so much.
I wouldn't know if I could call it, or would call it, true love, but I know if there is a shot at achieving that one day, what is a couple years? You have to give effort before you can gain the real treasure at the end. Plus, the more effort you give, the more you treasure the goal at the end.
I want to treasure Him a lot. I do right now. But I want to treasure Him even more. So, why not give more effort, right?
