Why Give Your Heart Away To Someone Who Hasn't Given Their Heart To Jesus?

If I could write myself a letter..and just step away for a bit in an objective way..and just say outloud what's in my heart..I'd say,

You're incredibly beautiful..with all your flaws and imperfections. You're a work-in-progress after all. Who isn't? If you'll allow me to be honest..I think you're making a mistake. I think you need to slow down..because you're not quite seeing the bigger picture. You don't have to fill your heart with temporary pleasure of someones company. You don't have to invest your time in someone who isn't God's best for you. You ignore the signs, the red flags..but love, don't you see.. they aren't the one. They may seem beautiful on the outside but something's not quite right. You don't have to settle. Just because you may feel lonely. There's Someone else vying for your attention..Someone Who's been waiting on the sidelines where you left Him. Patiently waiting. For you to return. For you to open your heart back fully, to turn around and pursue the One who made it. Who breathed life into you. Whose love never wavered even though you pursued other things and people..
Whose love never held it against you or tallied up your wrongs. Whose love was pursuing you even though you walked the other way. The One who calls you beloved. I wish you could see the bigger picture. I wish you could see how happy and content and peaceful you could truly be in His presence. I wish you could go back to that Summer when no one and nothing could hold your attention like He did. Every day was spent with Him despite it being your Summer vacation. Remember those times? They were so full of life..your heart was soft, there was a light to your eyes that reflected His love for you.
I wish you could go back. Do the things you did when you first fell in love with Him and pursued Him. Run back..with all your heart. He wants you to.
I wish you could see how much you're truly worth in His eyes. Please don't settle. There's no rush. You're happy as you are single. Why force something that isn't working out.

Run back to your first Love.
