Don't Let Someone In Where God Belongs

When I love , I love HARD. I know i'm not the only one. My entire life i've only had one boyfriend.Why? Because I know how I am. I care more than the average person.I know we are in the end times and people are becoming lovers of themselves. That's why i'm truly cautious with my heart.

In the bible it states,"Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it"-Proverbs 4:23

Your heart is such a valuable thing and also very complex. I like to think of it as having 2 departments.One is for you, one is for God and God only. Personally after my experience i've learned to give NO ONE my heart. It's too risky.We often find ourselves madly in love with someone and I mean MADLY.We end up giving this person our EVERYTHING, basically our soul.

"Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save."-Psalm 146:3

Man will let you down . That's a FACT. Yet we always take that chance and when we do we end up let down or hurt.There's certain places in your heart where no one is allowed. We do it unintenionally though.I mean we are human. We want to be loved and cherished.I gave my entire heart and soul , "Yes i said soul to someone."I trusted them with everything , didn't think they could do no wrong.

Everything went left, out of nowhere.

I was in depression for 7 months. Locked myself in my room. Didn't care about life.I don't blame or fault that person. It was me, I let them in. I gave them the key. The key that only God is suppose to have.

I made him my God. We do this everyday without knowing it. You have to put thing in their right order or else God will do it for you. Take it from me. You don't want that. It's painful.

I have a little sister and i just look at her and see the innocence. The curiosity. I pray that she doesn't make the same mistake I made. Let someone in where God belongs.

You can love, but love at a distance. Make sure you and that person have the same interest at heart. Talk about your fears, your hopes, and your dreams.

Let them see the good and the bad. Be honest. Always see things in their perspective and not only yours.

Most importantly put God first and make him the solid foundation.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
