Dark love is nothing to play with. It is a love that is considered pretentious and sets out to get what it wants. It is a love that destroys self-confidence, integrity, morals, Godly faith & trust. It tears down your optimistic foundation and builds a pessimistic one. It is so dark that it will make you believe that you are a bad person. That you are the one who brings strife and misery to yourself. Below are a few examples of what it sounds like. You can almost feel the destruction happening inside, breaking every fragment of your bones and every ligament being distorted.
Dark love, on the other hand, appears to be true love and it forces you to believe its characteristics. It feels better than any love you have ever experienced when you have not experienced God's love. Oftentimes, if you have experienced God's love, it blemishes his love for dark love. It seduces you in every area of your wants and needs as if it is what you have been missing all of your life. It makes you feel sexy, desirable, unimaginably strong, untouchable, proud, and the likes. Eventually, you find yourself manipulating, speaking words of death into others who try to speak against your joy. It brings false freedom that will cause you to fight without a real cause. (James 4:1-6)
Do you love me? Sure I do! Then why do you seem so distant? Baby, I got a lot I'm dealing with. I have to make sure everything is taken care of and I need you to stop whining about having my attention.
Do you love me? Sure I do! Then why do you always express your points of my wrong toward you, but never listen to yours toward me? Baby, you are too emotional and it is not always true what you think of me. Your emotions are what causes your wrong toward me. I just want you to learn to relax. Just do that for me and we will be alright.
Do you love me? Sure I do! Then why do you keep secrets from me? Baby, what secrets have I kept from you? Name one and tell me when that happened. Well, when I began to tell you, I am cut off and an argument comes out of it. Therefore, I would rather not answer.
Do you love me? Sure I do! Then why don't you show me any affection? Baby, I need to forgive you for cursing me out and calling me out of my name three months ago. How can I give affection to someone who speaks to me that way? But, you provoked it. I have kept every pain inside because you won't hear me out and when you do, there is justification for the wrong and it gets twisted back to me to feel bad.
Do you love me? Sure I do! Then why did you grab me and push me down and expect forgiveness when you don't forgive me? Baby, you do what you want. I don't force you to do anything you don't want to do. When was the last time I put my hands on you? Stop tripping! You not even hurt.
Do you love me? Sure I do! Then why would you want to take advantage of me? Baby, I just want you to see that I love you. Let me actually do something wrong. Follow my lead and agree with what I do and if I am wrong you can hold it against me. Throw it in my face! But I am not like that. I don't find any pleasure in doing that. Just do it for me. I'm telling you to do it.
Do you love me? Sure I do! Then why does it appear that you are against me? Baby, I am not sure why you feel that way. We don't have sex much because I don't feel connected to you. Why should I treat you like a flower when you don't act like a flower? I believe you cheated on me because you left and said nothing to me about your whereabouts for 72 hours. You are selfish and can't see past your own needs. My boiler went out and it was cold in the house and you did nothing. You accuse me often for cheating on you and have no proof. I am not against you, I just have a hard time forgiving you. God is working on me, I just need you to be patient. Everything will be alright.
If you are experiencing anything like what is above, then reconsider staying there. Your life is not worth being ruined for any reason. Do not second guess yourselves. If you are constantly being provoked to anger, loneliness, distress, discomfort, a lack of trust, fear, etc. It is time to change your atmosphere and the person you are choosing to spend your time or life with.
God has shown us what true love looks like, sound like, and feel like; even what it tastes like (our tongues roll love off of it as God plants it in our bellies). 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 are the prerequisites of true love. God showed us his love through his son Jesus Christ. The book of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John give specific details of each apostle experience with Jesus and his love. It also expresses his love toward the entire world and his death and resurrection for our sins. He truly exemplifies true love....A love that turns on the light inside of you!
