Don't Play Yourself

     When someone shows you who they are believe them. Stop falling in love with "potential" or only reminiscing on the good times when a guy starts showing bad signals. Most destructive guys in your life and even bad friends are just distractions, sent to slowly lead you down the wrong path. God has a plan for you but you have to pursue him and be focused. You have to be ready to get his confirmation and discover what he has in store for you. 
     Are you actively pursuing God right now? Or are you actively pursuing a man right now? Even worse a man that isn't even showing you any dedication or commitment. Remember that God created you for a purpose. Don't let someone define you and take away the value that you deserve. 
   If a guy has an IPhone 6 and claims he didn't get your message are you really going to believe that.... if you know he dm's* 50 girls a day with the same exact same lines are you just going to take those scraps..... When someone approaches you incorrectly are you going to lower your standards and just let the situation continue? Don't be gullible or sweep things under the rug! We have to focus on God and move toward things to enhance our lives and live the way he intends us to. The right person will come at the right time.
   God is not sending you a man that doesn't respect you, God is not going to send you a man you can't trust, and God is definitely not sending you someone that is involved with other women, so take these negative signs and turn away from guys that are only going to lead you to temptation and lust! You don't need that in your life and the Devil would love to see you fail. 
Pure Tip: Realize that a man's "rejecting you" is sometimes God protecting you. If someone doesn't recognize what you have to give then don't chase after them. 
  You have nothing to prove.... NEVER forget your value and keep it in mind when you go through your day. It's important to respect yourself and be careful with the moves you make. If you know God wouldn't match you with the person you're in a relationship with then what are you doing? Don't set yourself up for heartbreak, don't waste your OWN time that you can't get back, and never reduce yourself to the low standards of our perverse world.
   We are a peculiar people (Titus 2:14) .... act like it! Never put up with foolishness and begin surrounding yourself with like minded individuals, you'll be surprised how your problems decrease. 
   When you give someone your time and they waste it it's never a good feeling. But it's an even worse feeling when you know that in the beginning you already knew you were stepping into something toxic.
    Think about this as you deal with different situations and people this week... especially guys. Don't let yourself get played or manipulated! Guard your heart
