Do you find yourself committed to the very thing that means the most to you? How far are you willing to go? Are you equipped for the long haul to take the ride of your life? When you tell someone you will be with them because you’re their ride or die, you’re saying that it doesn’t matter the journey; you’re all in.
Are you a Ride or Die Kind of Mate?
When you think of being in a relationship, what type of person do you consider yourself to be? Are you that daring mate that’s open to whatever it takes to stay together even when it hurts or injuries your soul? Are you willing to allow the other person to take you on a ride that could be unrepairable? Dying to your character, self-esteem, health, and mental wellness. Does this mean you die to yourself so someone else can go for the ride of their life at your expense? How far are you willing to go and is it really Love on both sides?
Is Ride or Die With or Without Boundaries?
When you think of being in a relationship with someone and you make the statement ride or die, are you saying that anything goes and you have no boundaries? Is this your way of being loved or proving your love? This statement comes from the biker culture stating you’re willing to be endangered just to be with your partner. It’s an expression of endearment for your mate. Bikers usually say they would die if they couldn’t ride; “their bike”.
What you may not have thought off…
When you tell someone you will be with them because you’re their ride or die, you’re saying that it doesn’t matter how they treat you. Have you thought of it that way? You’re not setting boundaries and you can be treated any kind of way and it’s ok because you’re not leaving. Every time you allow less than respect or healthy boundaries, it’s a rip or tears to the heart or soul which takes time to heal. If you’re not healed before the next ride it’s more injury that makes it harder to heal. Inside wounds like the emotions, mind, soul, or heart need care for complete healing. Now are you a ride or die? Are you willing to risk it all or die for this person as you’re stating? Is it ok to allow mistreatment to prove your love?
From a Spiritual Standpoint:
We’ve heard that bikers would rather die if they couldn’t ride their bike, and some mates would go for the ride of a lifetime or die. What would happen if we took this same approach to everything we do in life. What would happen if we took this same stance for what we believe in to fulfill our purpose in life for the greater good. Can you serve someone or a specific cause with this same conviction? What are you so passionate about in life that would benefit humanity and you will “Ride or Die” doing it?
Let’s Pray:
Heavenly Father we pray that you would bless us to approach our relationship with you with the same passion, commitment, and conviction. How are we willing to ride with our savior because he made a choice to die for us. He bore our afflictions so that we could be free. Do you love him? Are you committed; for the long term?
