What's real? Is tv real? Is the news real? Are the characters/people real? Yes and no.
The past few weeks I have been so troubled by these things. When I got back from my trip to Haiti, I could hardly stand looking at the television. I assumed it was because I hadn't seen one in almost 2 weeks, and just wasn't used to it. I hardly watched it before I left either, but this was more. I just kept hearing in my spirit, "it's not real." I am not saying boycott tv and movies, but I am saying, to think about what you are allowing into your heart, mind and spirit.
My kids thought I was a little crazy when I started saying these things, but I had to tell them, it's not real. The stuff they make up in the movies and on television is not real. But we fill ourselves with it, and use the "knowledge" we find on the tv and in a movie and apply it to REAL life. And we expect it to work!
Nicholas Sparks books, (and I have read lots!) are not real. The expectations that women have in their heart regarding love aren't real. A romantic movie isn't real. Sometimes they are "based off of a true story", which means they took a little thing and dramatized it to make money. LOL
Maybe this is a rant. Maybe. But if you're reading this, just ponder it. What are we letting into ourselves that isn't real? The eyes ARE the window to the soul, and if you let it in, it's there. If it's not truth, then it will conflict with the truth in you. And one will win, the truth or the lie.
My heart is passionate about girls believing in false love. Oh, the heartache that comes with it. I remember that heartache. I remember hoping, wishing, even praying. All in vain.
True love only comes from God, along with the ability to truly love someone. Real love cost something, and is sacrificial in nature. Jesus is our example. Movies are just that...movies. TV is just that...tv. Entertainment. Not real life, but a twisted version of it.
Seek the one that is REAL, and He will put everything else in perspective :)
Behold, You desire truth in the inner being; make me therefore to know wisdom in my inmost heart. Psalm 51: 6
