Why Do Fools Fall in Love?
Wait, I thought love, loved all? Did I miss the Fools are Excluded side note somewhere in, fine print or, the terms and conditions? Love is such a powerful force. People aren’t, usually, ready to fall in love; It’s one of those fateful beauties that just, sort of, happen- sometimes in the most mysterious of ways. Like, you could be standing amongst a thousand party-goers and boxing fanatics, in the middle of Las Vegas’ grandest casino, the night it’s hosting a Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight, and of all the other women, be approached by a special man. A wise man made of dust, just 36 years ago, that has everything inside of him that you need, how you need it, at the very moments you need it that is willing to give it to you, at no cost. Yep, it can happen just like that.
Now, in such a perfect world, where such a perfect thing has happened, who tells the blessed woman that she isn’t ready for the lover she has prayed for and not to fall in love with him, because she is still a fool? Unfortunately no one, except a man that goes by the name of Experience, tells her that she is a fool; and by this time, she has already self- destructed and sent the man running, far away from her foolish ways. How could such good intentions, of a harmless young woman, be the very thing that ruined such a sacred union between two of God’s children? The young lady could not fathom such reality. While her altruism was apparent, however her truths were perceived as lies; because, she ignorantly lived her life protecting herself from hurt, only telling bits & pieces of stories. This was so she could keep close range on how much of herself she was giving. The foolish woman even treated the man she’d asked God for this way. Didn’t she know she was to tell her husband everything? Didn’t she know they’d become one and that she didn’t need to protect herself from him?
The foolish woman dropped to her knees wept to her heavenly father,
“How can I have ruined an answered prayer? I asked for a husband and told you I was ready, Lord. Why, if I were not ready did you send him to me?” the foolish lover cried out. “I thought you would prepare me first, and then send him? Lord, what have you done, I don’t understand?”
Obviously, the young lady had no recollection that neither love nor God worked that way. We cannot plan our own lives. What we ask of the Lord, shall be given, at its divine time. There were somethings she had to learn about herself and about life before she’d be prepared to healthily handle the powerful side effects of love. All she had was love to give and nothing more. She didn’t know what real love felt like or how to allow herself to be loved. She had no idea what was what, but she fell deeper with every morning’s kiss. Because, yes love does conquer all, fools too. Sadly, there is just no pity shown to the foolish lover. The heartbroken gal withdrew herself from the chaos of the world and lived in her spirit, reflecting each day. Soon, her reflections turned to regrets, then to understanding. As she learned more and grew in Christ, she could feel that in her heart of hearts she had what it took to restore her marriage. But by this time, the sent man had decided she’d be his last try at love, this meant her, any other woman, and all her chances- if she ever messed up the first. Lucky lover. Eh?
The woman is no longer foolish and continues to keep faith and remain hopeful that, if in fact God sent this man to her, surely he will bring him back- and that, the two of them will renew their 39th great day on the day of his return and happily live, ever after. “What God brings, he adds no sorrow”, the, now, enlightened woman understands. And, sorrow she feels not. What she longs for is to be held through the night by chocolate arms of love and to wake up to cocoa butter kisses.
“When you find a King, keep him. There is no need to reshuffle the deck because; you may end up with a joker.”
