Does forever truly mean forever? When someone says they want to be your forever does it really mean forever? Best friends forever, how long is that forever?
We come to realize as we get older as we go through life that (like Prince said) forever means a mighty long time. Things we were sure to have forever have gone, some regrettably so, and other gone so long you don’t even remember. We come to accept the fact that very few things in this world are here forever. Most things of this world have a shelf life (thanks Jeff). We live in a society where forever doesn’t mean forever, it means for now.
Best Friends Forever. I know some of you have said this and if you haven’t said it you have heard it. Funny thing about that statement is I can remember having best friends who I thought were going to be there forever, only to watch them fade into the struggle we call life. Watch them find more friends, different interests, other things to do with their time and we drift apart. Not saying it was them or me just saying I have seen it happen. Most of these people I am still friends with and would still help them out if they needed me but the relationship is not the same.
Let’s get into more real adult emotions lol. “I’ll love you forever” or “I want to be yours forever” how many of us have heard or said these? Most all of us I imagine. How many of us meant it when we said it, or believed it when we heard it? I believe in the good in people so again I will say most of us. Now the painful question, how many of us have only said it to one person, or heard it from one person? If you can say that you have only had that with one person I am so envious so jealous of you. Most of us have said it to more than one person and heard it from others which means we felt what we thought was true love, we found our “forever” and had to watch our heart break as our “forever” walked away.
Now please don’t misunderstand I am not saying that finding a forever love is impossible. I still believe in forever. I know that forever takes time it takes work and it takes a burning desire to keep pushing towards forever. I say all of this to say, we have all experienced a truly forever love, an everlasting love, a burning desire for you that can not be extinguished. That is the love of God. That is how we are loved by him. His love is true, pure, and everlasting. He gave his only son so that he could forgive us and welcome us into his arms.
Go love someone today not because I said so, but because God loves us and gave us the power to love. I love you.
