Novel

Dear Reader,

You don't know when you're in love. You can't feel the word love but you can always see it. You can see it everyday when you wake up in the morning, you can see it every minute as the time passes by, you can feel it every time you go to pray and you will feel it when the right time comes.

You can feel love when you wake up in the morning. As you open your eyes to face the challenges of the day, God granted you another gift of life that means that He loves you and He still wants you to serve him. Even though you don't believe in Him, He believes in you so just continue life; wake up everyday and face the challenges because life isn't always perfect. Life isn't always easy. Life doesn't always make sense, but that’s the beauty of life. Just remember that God’s plan is like a movie. All the good and bad things are arranged together for the good ending.

You can feel love every second. That's one thing about love. You can see it everywhere in the trees, in the food that you are eating, in the rain, in your teacher and even in your enemy. You can't feel the love that passes by every second because every minute it changes.The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot. You can always change it and it's for you to shape up your future because change is the law of life. Those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.

You can feel it every time you pray. The strongest relationship that you can ever have is with God. That's a fact that we should all learn. No matter how we make mistakes, no matter how we fail and no matter how we sin against Him, He always there to listen. He is just three steps away, using the sign of the cross, you can  talk to him, face to face. They say that light is the fastest thing in the universe... I beg to differ. Because light only travels 186,000 miles per second but a prayer reaches God even before you say it.

You will feel it when the right time comes. As a hopeless romantic, I believe in this statement. I don't have proof but I have faith. I know that we expect a perfect relationship. A perfect boyfriend or girlfriend. A perfect scenario, which will forever be in our memories, but the truth is no matter how we set our standards to our ideal relationship, lover or scenario... They will all be an exception.

As I finish my letter to you, I hope that one day you'll see that love isn't something that you will wait for. It will come to you when you least expect it. You know why? Well sometimes God doesn't give you what you think you want, not because you don’t deserve it, but because you deserve better. So just smile and face tomorrow happy and full of hope because your life is a novel, every day is a page, and you have the power to make the beautiful story go the way you want it to go.

Love Always,
El
