I know you care, but you can’t.

If I ruin my life, it is because of my own doing. I know you want to save me, but all I ever needed was someone who would listen. Not someone who would act on my behalf because that is not fair.

I know you mean well, but please don’t. You’re not the one who’s going to be stuck with the consequences of your good intentions. 

I know you mean well, but please stay out of it. It is my battle against myself and I just need someone who would put a little faith in me. Because you have absolutely no idea how it is in my shoes. I know you understand, you’re intelligent, you want the best for your friend, but you do not feel what I feel, are not pained with my hurts, do not cry the tears I shed.

It is my battle against myself, not yours.

I know you mean well, but I hope you won’t be the reason why I stop trusting people altogether. All over again.

Then I’d have to endure two heartbreaks instead of one. One is enough, don’t you think?

Who, then, can save me from this nightmare?

Jesus Christ, of course. He saved me a loooong time ago, but I need His grace and mercy once more. Every single day, in fact. He will help me through with what I am facing now, I trust in that. :’)

One of my favorite quotes of all time:

“You cannot save people. You can only love them.” 

- Anaïs Nin :)

I can’t save people either. But I do my best to love them, no matter what kind of people they are or they turn out to be. I really have no room for hate and anger towards others; perhaps this is why I can’t help but be so nice, even when others take advantage of me. But that is MY choice.

Sometimes even I cannot save myself. Because He wants me to turn to Him during these painful moments.

So, please. Do not save me; I already have a Mighty Saviour. Love me instead.
