A Crush From The Enemy

I can remember my first crush back in elementary school. If I’m being honest I don’t even remember his name or what he looked like, but back then all the girls in my class loved him. We were all a couple grades behind him, so we thought he was everything because he was older. I remember writing his name all over my dairy. I would write, “I love John,” or whatever his name was. But if I’m being completely honest I don’t believe he was truly my crush.

Now looking at relationships and knowing what I know now, I understand that I only liked him because all the other girls did too. Sad but true.

As I have been growing close to my Heavenly Father, I understand that having a crush is a waste of time and can also lead to sin if we’re not careful. It’s okay to see someone and notice that they’re attractive, but I believe a “crush” is from the enemy. I believe it’s a weapon used to crush us mentally.

A crush by definition is a brief but intense infatuation for someone, especially someone unattainable or inappropriate. I’ve never seen once in the Bible where someone had a crush on someone except when King David had a “crush” on Bathsheba and that led to sin.

Crushing on someone is not Christ like. My thoughts are to be fixed on things above. If you allow your thoughts to meditate on a crush, it will lead to sin. Protect your mind and let go of the teachings of this world.

How could you put God first of all you think about is a crush. How could you choose God because if you got an opportunity to obtain the unattainable, your crush, you would jump on it. This idea doesn’t align with the word of God. So I choose not to crush anymore. It’s okay to notice that someone is attractive but I will not allow my mind to wander. I will remain faithful to my Father’s teachings and discipline my mind. I will continue to try my best to take every thought captive and make it obey The Word of God.
