Scumbags

It's the week before finals, hence I should be writing a paper that's due. Instead my mind has been wandering to a conversation I had earlier with one of my sisters. We were talking about scumbag boyfriends, you know the type, the one with the most amazing girlfriend who thinks he's slick enough to flirt with other girls on the side. The one who seems to be completely into his girlfriend, when behind her back he's trying to hook up with her roommate. Now I'm saying a lot of this out of frustration, and so I'm making more of a general statement here. There are a lot of amazing guys out there, who are in relationships with amazing girls, that treat them the way they should. But as of now, I'm talking about the ones who just take for granted the fact that their girlfriend would give the world for them, and in turn they give her a scrap piece of land that no one really wants.

My heart hurts for those girls.

I've had too many friends who have been in this position. Too many girls I know who stay in their relationships because of excuses like "we have a long history together" "you don't know him like I do" "he'll change I know he will" "he really loves me, he's just being stupid."

Too many excuses, too many times, and what does that leave us with? More broken hearts, more tears, and more reasons that girls just can't find the right kind of love they need.

And if they only knew the kind of love that is unconditional, the kind of love that would sacrifice his only child for them. That listens to them every second of everyday, that pursues them with such passion and commitment.

If they only knew that there's someone who thinks they are beautiful, who has confidence in their abilities, who encourages them, who is proud of them.

If they only knew how worthy they are, how they deserve so much better than what they have now.

If they knew they have been called to greatness, to live a life that's complete and full.

If they knew that they don't have to get their hearts smashed into pieces to be loved, because they already are.

God IS love.

If they only knew.....
