The phrase.... Love is Blind... is so very true. When we love someone we easily over look imperfections. We sometimes can not see the truth when it is standing in front of us. Why? Because we want to believe that our emotions haven't tricked us. But they usually do. When you feel a deep love for someone, you know that you want to believe them... You want to believe IN them...to have faith that whatever they tell you is the truth. Unfortunately, sometimes having this much faith and love in someone only serves to hide the truth.
When you pray God show me the truth, and he decides you need to see it. It can be difficult even then to believe that you've been had. So is it bad to believe in others? No... never stop believing, however, do not stick your head in the sand and not accept what you know is true. You can only over look so many lies before you know that it's never going to change.
When you hear lie after lie and are told, to avoid doing things because in his opinion it's best for you. That best for you is a simple way of control. If he begins to tell you to not talk to others.... to stay off the Internet and to not believe what you can plainly see in front of you... wake up.... he's afraid you'll dig a bit too deeply and destroy his world as he knows it. If out of the blue, you get an im or an email telling you things you have a tough time believing... Take a minute or two to ask, could it be this woman/man actually know this is true?
There are men and women on the Internet who are predators. They prey on innocent people who may be lonely or just very optimistic that you can find a decent loving soul in this cyber world. Be cautious...don't jump too quickly into trust. Allow them to earn it. Don't tell them too much, hold back a bit... If they say things that seem a bit off the wall, listen carefully from that point on. Chances are it's not true. If they start telling you to stay off the Internet, that they've found the One, they've been searching for. That's a control tactic to keep you from seeing that they are on sites looking for others. If you find such a person who is preying on innocent people, always down on their luck and asking to borrow...wake up...move on... they are just trying to begin a long and difficult process of bleeding you dry... when they know you've fallen in love... you are theirs.. and they will take and take until you wake up and realize sometimes too late... you've been had... Love is Blind.
There are predators... I have found two in just three short years. I am beginning to believe there's a magnet that is attracting them to me. I am open for constructive criticism to learn how to better protect myself. If you'd like to know the screen names of the individuals whom have taken me .. by all means, ask. I have nothing to hide, but they will continue to earn their living off of unsuspecting men and women.
He may say.... never talk about me, you can yell at me or say anything to my face, but never talk to others about me. Wonder why? I now know. He is making a living lying to kind hearted souls and taking. My credit card paid for so much for him, and in doing what I have been instructed to NOT do, I have learned that others have paid for the same things I have. With cash... so yeah, you can make a decent living off of others...
God is watching... he's marking this in his book... and when you stand before me and preach to me... God is listening, he hears how you are using HIM for your gain... When you open your mouth and you find that you no longer know what the truth is... smiles... you've finally hit bottom. I believe lying is a type of addiction, you have to keep telling more and more to feed the monster within that fails to allow you to see the simple truth. One day you will find your match.... and when you do, you will know, God is with her and her strength with his is not going to be a hill of beans to your lies.
