You Don't Get to Love Us: Journey of Uncompromising Standards and Spiritual Integrity
Hey fam, let's dive deep into something that's been burning in our heart. We've walked through life's crazy journey and learned that love isn't some universal free pass for anyone to casually stroll into our world. It's about standards – biblical standards that cut deeper than surface-level connections, social status, or superficial expectations.
We've seen every corner of existence, from glitzy Hollywood sets to quiet moments of reflection, and here's the unfiltered truth: people, places, and things don't get automatic VIP access to our inner circle. Whether you're swimming in wealth or counting every last penny, there's a line – and we're drawing it with permanent marker. This isn't about superiority or looking down on anyone; it's about protecting our peace, our purpose, and the sacred space of our personal journey.
Scripture becomes our ultimate blueprint here. Proverbs 4:23 drops a truth bomb that resonates to our core: "Guard your heart above all else, for everything you do flows from it." We're not playing emotional Russian roulette with our spirit. If you can't meet the standard of genuine respect, authentic integrity, and meaningful connection, you're not getting past our carefully constructed emotional boundaries. It's not personal – it's spiritual self-preservation.
Our standards aren't about building walls or being emotionally unavailable. They're about understanding that our worth isn't determined by who wants to be around us, but by the intentional choices we make about who we allow to influence our path. We've witnessed firsthand how compromise can slowly erode your spirit, how letting just anyone into your inner sanctum can drain your energy and completely derail the purpose we've been called to pursue. Every connection is a potential gateway – and we're not leaving that gateway unguarded.
This journey isn't about being difficult or creating unnecessary drama. It's about being profoundly intentional. We're walking a path that demands selective connection, wisdom beyond our years, and a spiritual discernment that goes far deeper than surface-level interactions. James 1:5 promises wisdom to those who seek it, and we're actively asking for the supernatural ability to know exactly who gets the privilege of being close to us. Rich, poor, famous, completely unknown – none of that external stuff matters. What truly counts is the condition of your heart, your integrity, and your alignment with something far greater than temporary human validation.
So here's our ultimate declaration: you don't get to love us just because you want to. Love is a privilege earned through consistent authenticity, not a right granted by mere proximity or desire. We're constructing something sacred, something purposeful, and we're not letting anyone or anything compromise the blueprint we've been given. Our standards aren't restrictions – they're protection, our boundary, our spiritual defense mechanism. We're building a life of purpose, and not everyone gets a front-row seat to that journey. Take it or leave it – we're completely at peace either way. Our worth isn't determined by who stays or who goes, but by the unwavering commitment to our calling and the standards that protect it.
