A New Beginning

 
In a city that never sleeps, Lia was a career-driven woman always surrounded by busyness. Every day, she confidently stepped into the office, tackling her demanding routine. Yet behind her smile and success lay an unspoken emptiness. The love she once felt for Asar, a charming man who made her heart race, had left only a lingering ache.

Asar was full of charisma, but commitment seemed foreign to him. Although they often shared laughter and dreams, Lia sensed uncertainty in their relationship. Watching her friends weave futures with their partners made her heart ache with longing. She desired that connection, but the relationship lacked the assurance she craved.

One rainy night, as droplets cascaded down the streets, Lia found herself deep in thought. Memories of her heartfelt prayers flooded back, each one asking for guidance from God. In the silence, she heard a profound whisper in her heart: "Let go of what doesn’t bring you closer to Me."

With renewed determination, Lia chose to end her relationship with Asar. During their final meeting, the atmosphere was heavy with unspoken words. Asar, looking bewildered, asked, “Are you sure, Lia?”

Tears glistened in her eyes as she replied, “I need to focus on what truly matters. Love without seriousness is not the love I want.”

After the breakup, though sadness enveloped her, Lia felt a newfound freedom. She turned to God, immersing herself in service and activities that brought her closer to Him. Each step felt lighter, every smile more genuine.

Years passed, and Lia discovered a new strength within herself. She realized that true love would come in its own time. Then one day, at a charity event, her eyes met a man radiating sincerity. In his smile, she sensed God’s presence and a certainty that the future she had longed for was finally within reach.

Lia understood that by releasing what was uncertain, she had opened the door to a love that was true and profound.
