I MISS YOU

Today’s Motivational Message

Written by: Counselor Adofoli

Words are such powerful tools. With words, you have the power to hurt, heal, open minds, open hearts. But the question is, how many of us know this and take responsibility for the words we speak?

People say words to impress others instead of doing things to impress themselves.

One of such words is "I miss you". These three words can bring smiles into ones face, bring back old relationship, send people back to wrong arms, and has the power to cause tears. Yes, tears!

The truth is sometimes it's not the person you miss. It’s the feeling you had when you were with them. So the question is which feeling did you have when you were with them? Some were just kissing, others cuddling, some were sex, whilst others experienced true love and happiness.

One fact is, you can also miss your worst enemy and not just a loved one.

Do people miss you only when they are in the mood for sex, kissing, etc? Do you know "I miss you" can be mistaken for that?

In this life, you are going to come across people who will say all the right words at all the right times but in the end, it's always their action you should judge them by. Its action, not words, that matter.

One of the danger is sometimes the people we have known for only a short period of time have a bigger impact on us than those we have known forever. Each time they say such words, it trigger emotions and are tempted to push you into the unknown.

Men, learn to touch a woman in ways that have nothing to do with sex, but rather has everything to do with comfort, understanding and protection. That's what they need most.

Ladies, someone can like your face or your body but can't fall in love with it. People fall in love with your heart, your mind, the way you think and the way you talk, for beauty can attract people but your thoughts/heart are what is going to make them stay.

You can't force someone to love you back because they kissed you or had sex with you. Love doesn't demand to be loved back and it doesn't need to be taken for granted so why don't you wait for someone who loves you.

Don't let someone love you simply because they want to love someone, but because their heart already chooses you. I want to hear lines like: my name is "I", my problem is "Love" and my solution is "You".

Always remember you can miss someone who is gone, even someone who moved away but worst of this experience is to miss someone who is just around but seems so far. So next time you miss someone, make sure you are all on the same page.

In conclusion, each time you miss a loved one, say a prayer for them. “May the Lord keep an eye on us while we are separated from each other.” - Genesis 31:49 (GNT) Amen.
