Dear Reader, How are you really doing today? there's a song on my mind by misty Edwards "arms wide open" before i get Going to much lets take some time to really listen to the words. what does love look like?
For some of us we honestly can't answer this what does love look like?we truly live life not knowing the answer. not knowing who we really are. not knowing our purpose in life. we live in the moment we live by what others tell us. we live for so many things but where does God's true love fit into this? i want to share with you something forming deep in my heart. the past week God has been pouring his love all over me. teaching me who i really am.see my whole life i lived to get married and you know that need for a guy. but the best part about being single is simple you don't need a guy to tell you who you are. your identity doesn't come from what you do or the guy you are with. true identity comes from God. there's so much i could write on this topic in itself but today we are writing about what does love look like? what is love... in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. maybe you are reading this and you are one that you have been told i love you so many times and every time it just feel so empty. you ask yourself why can't i let someone really love me. maybe you are hurting so bad inside you just went through a really messy break up and this message is the last thing that you want to hear. instead you hide inside and pretend like everything is all good. but inside you are broken and just wishing secretly someone would reach out and save you from your self. i pray that these words would change your broken heart.that God loves you flawless. its never too late for you. Gods love is not empty. it's full of tenderness, kindness, compassion.God is not out to hurt you like others. He loves everything about you. you are worth it Reader.
Dear Reader, How are you doing? do ever have days where you feel so close yet so far away?
My whole life i have made it my mission get married and have children. in fact i had to make it a competition with my mom. she was married at 21. so at 19 i was like yes I'm going to find me a man and marry him yeah i found a guy but nothing happened, at 21 i was like this is my year. again it didn't happen again at 23 and 25 and nope i didn't get married. it's kind of funny looking back but all you single ladies out there know what I'm talking about. cause you have or are still building yourself up for Mr right!!!in a sense you place yourself on a time line for when you want to get married. if you aren't careful. the desire to get married will overtake you. i know it sounds crazy but trust me not too long ago i was that girl. chasing guys but never waiting on God the perfect gentlemen. thinking if i don't find someone they will never come. crazy so you might think. but how many of us are like that? I have come to a place where I don't need a man to tell me he loves me. if i cant love myself how can i ever let a man love me? do you love yourself? when you look into the mirror and see yourself what is the first thought that comes to you? young woman you are most beautiful there is nothing at all wrong with you.it's time to see who God has painted you to look like. 1. you are beautiful. 2. you are worth fighting for 3. you are most valuable there is no one that will ever be exactly you 4. you are worthy. it doesn't matter what your past holds let it go. i know that's hard it took me what seemed like a life time to let go and let God 5. you are 100% original 6. you are lovely 7. you are precious a diamond in the rough.
the list could go on. as you begin to speak life to yourself something begins to change in your life. in order to find love you must first love God and love yourself.then watch when you are not looking the right man who will lead you not pressure you he will come. as woman we are not meant to hunt for our men we are to be pursued. so wait and let god work on you a little longer.
