Words don’t have the power to hurt you, unless that person meant more to you than you are willing to confess.

When words don’t add up in love, it is because of six possible reasons:

1. They are afraid to tell you the truth because you will leave them.

2. They enjoy being a liar or playing people because of ego reasons and/or control.

3. They don’t know the truth themselves.

4. They are undecided.

5. They refuse to let their guard down and be vulnerable because you or someone else have hurt them tremendously.

6. You are not being told all the information because of a break down in communication.

Insanity is everyone expecting you not to fall apart when you find out everything you believed in was a lie.

Often people that say they “don’t care” actually do. The moment they discuss you with their friends and family, compete with you, bad mouth you to others or react to anything you do or say is when they give themselves away. You can either be saddened or flattered that you effected someone so much. The perspective is yours to determine.

If it were true love, he would never make you sacrifice your dignity to be with him. He would respect you and treat you as if you were sacred to his heart. If he loved you as dearly as he professes to love Christ, then he would never let anyone that loved him suffer or lower their self worth to be with him. True love is compassion, respect and honorable acts that prove love.

If you have to make a daily choice to be in a relationship then you are married to the past, not the person.
