Are you looking for ways to romanticize your life?
The term “romanticize your life” has taken social media by the storm. Romanticizing your life gives you permission to take the mundane and add a little flavor to it.
It’s appreciating the little blessings in life and becoming more attentive to yourself. Everyone’s life won’t look the same and that’s more than okay.
It’s time for you to appreciate your portion of life because you matter. What will your gratitude look like as you begin to romanticize your life?
This post is all about ways to romanticize your life.
Are you ready? Let’s geaux!
What Does It Mean To Romanticize Your Life
Matthew 18:2-4 NIV-He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Romanticizing your life is like hugging your inner child. Do you remember when you were little and you had an extreme excitement for life?
You wanted to participate in any and everything! If mommy was washing dishes, you wanted to help. When daddy was cooking, you wanted to be included. Even when your teacher called for a helper, you were down for the job.
Romanticizing your life is all about getting the excitement back for life like a little child. A child doesn’t look for “huge wins” or “monumental victories” like an adult.
Children take the ordinary and create the extraordinary through the power of imagination. There is no mundane with a child, everything is exciting to them.
Why did you grow up Bestie? You were never designed to grow up, but you were created to grow older with maturity, knowledge, and wisdom.
Romanticizing your life is getting back to your true self as the child of God you are. You were designed to enjoy every experience in life because of who you are.
You were strategically sent here to impact the earth with Heaven’s culture. Don’t you know how special you are?
Romanticizing Being Alone
Being alone doesn’t mean that you’re lonely. It’s completely normal to desire to spend time alone, in fact, it’s very healthy!
When you’re always around others, it can make it harder to hear God and understand yourself as an individual. Think about it: If you’re always sharing ideas with others, when do you have time to think of your own?
Being alone with God is man’s base nature. God created one man from the soil and walked and talked with him in the garden of Eden
It wasn’t until God decided to call forth a helper that he got a chance to experience another human. This entire concept is usually spoken about in regards to a romantic relationship. But it applies to all types of relationships.
You can’t have “relationship goals” without first having a relationship with God and yourself. It’s God’s divine order and no one can change it.
How much time do you intentionally spend alone?
Why Is It Important To Romanticize Your Life
Psalm 115:16 NIV-The highest heavens belong to the Lord, but the Earth He gave to the children of man.
What do you think about love? Do you enjoy love? If you’re a human being then the answer is yes because you were created by Love Himself. God is love and you were created in His image after His likeness (Genesis 1:26 NIV).
To be created in God’s image means that you were created with His nature. God’s nature is to love. You also have the ability to love, but the catch is that you have to receive it from God first.
One of the key components of romanticizing your life is loving yourself and learning to love the life you’re leading.
You may have been through some turmoil, but look on the brighter side because you’re still here! God isn’t done with you.
I don’t know where you are in life. I’m not sure if you’re feeling stuck or looking for ways to not give up, but I do know that you have reasons to live.
You need to romanticize your life simply because of who and what you are.
You are a human being that was created in the image of God after His likeness to have dominion over the fish of the seas, birds of the air, the livestock, all of the earth, and everything that crawls on the Earth (Genesis 1:26 NIV).
5 Ways to Romanticize Your Life Spiritually
You are exactly like God. He is a Trinity and so are you. God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. You are a spirit, with a soul, inside of a body.
Because you are a trinity; you have to take care of all three components of yourself. I want to give you ways to romanticize your life spiritually.
1. Break Free From The Systems Of This World
John 3:16 KJV-For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
God knew that the systems of this world were corrupt so He sent His Son for those in it. You don’t have to follow the ways of the world anymore.
Jesus died and rose so that you could be set free from the systems. He came to bring His government back to Earth (Isaiah 9:6 ESV).
This is why He tells you to seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness and then everything else will be added to you (Matthew 6:33 ESV).
The Kingdom is not a religion called Christianity; it is the government that Jesus came to restore.
If you want to live a life of abundance, you have to get under God’s government. You do this by partnering with God and following His ways.
2. Understand Who You Are Holistically
Genesis 1:26 ESV-Then God said “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth”.
When you’re beginning to romanticize your life, it’s very important that you learn the complexity of your being to properly take care of yourself. Again, you are a spirit, with a soul, inside of a body.
Your body is like a “tent”. It’s your temporary residence to navigate the Earthly realm. Most people never get to this revelation so they miss out on being able to nourish their entire being.
But not you, because you are understanding who you are holistically.
3. Realize That You Were Chosen To Be Here
Matthew 22:14 KJV-For many are called, but few are chosen.
According to science, there are at least three hundred million sperm released during ejaculation, but only one can fertilize the egg. It’s not a coincidence that you’re here.
God predestined you to arrive to the Earth for a specific purpose. You matter and you need to start living like you know it, even when you don’t feel it!
4. Choose The Spirit, Choose Freedom
Romans 8:14 NIV-For those who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.
God has a standard for your life and He wants to help you to walk in it. Choosing the Spirit means that you listen intently for what He tells you to do and obey.
It’s understanding that obedience is God’s love language and one of the only things you can give back to Him. So If He told you to stop eating certain things, obey Him.
If He told you to break up with your boyfriend of eight years, trust that He will take care of you. You don’t have to worry when you choose the Spirit because you’re choosing freedom.
5. Realize You’re Not Normal
1 Peter 2:9 NASB-But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
Your life may seem normal, but trust me it’s not. There’s always been something very different about you.
It may seem like everyone around you is having so much fun and that your life is boring. And you may not have many people to talk to in this season.
I want you to know that if suicidal thoughts are ringing in your ear, you have reasons to live. Don’t let those intrusive thoughts make you give up your life before it truly begins.
You’ve gone through too much for you not to see the latter. God has set it up to where He is going to save your entire bloodline through you.
You’re the one who is going to turn a generation towards Christ and that’s why the attack on your life has been so heavy.
Let me remind you that the same one we call Lord and Savior was born in a manger and on the run at the beginning of His life. He endured the cross despite of its shame because He saw your need and decided to stay there.
And even when He was on the run and on the cross, He was King. It’s time for you to realize who you are. There’s nothing about you that’s normal because of who you belong to.
These five ways to romanticize your life had to start with the spiritual. Remember you don’t have a spirit, you are a spirit. I hope and pray that this post was able to help you in any way. I will be praying for you as you continue your journey with your Bestie Forever. Thank you for reading.
This post was all about ways to romanticize your life.
Always remember you’re destined to win because He got up!
