I used to think that I didn’t really know how to love. Like truly love. And until recently, I didn’t. I loved but not fully. Not the way God intended it for us.
Until recently I thought love was putting up with everything and taking things that should never happen. I thought that love was something you just show occasionally and that was it. Because never had I truly been shown how love was supposed to be. Nobody had shown me. And thinking back, I’m grateful for it honestly because I have learnt so much from all of that.
This is love.
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
When I read this, and could understand and see what God meant for love, it blew me away. In all of my past relationships I had never been treated with any of these things. But once I could see who I was in the Lord and who I belonged to there was no going back. My eyes where opened. And I knew exactly who I was and what I did and didn’t deserve.
I am a daughter of the living God. I am strong through the lord that lives in and through me. I am a beautiful human being and no man can ever Change my mind on that. God made me exactly how he wanted and needed me to be. And that is incredible! I was formed in his hands before I was placed in my mother’s womb. God already knew me before I was born. God knew what decisions I was going to make long before I made them. God knew I would be hurt and put down and broken over and over again but he also gave me his power to stand up after each and everyone of those times. Without me even realizing God was with with me every step of the way. Guys. God is here with me and God is there with you. And I promise you, the joy, love, peace and freedom I feel now that I see God as my father, my protecter and my provider and everything in between, there is no way I’m going back. He has blessed me in so many ways these last couple months it’s indescribable. I can’t even begin to explain the joy and peace I have. But what I do know, Is that I have never in my life been so sure of anything. I currently have $8.00 in my bank account, bills are due shortly, food is running out but guyssss I am so happy. And I have faith. Because I know without a doubt that God has got me and will take care of me in the storm.
Don’t settle for anything less then what God says you are and who you are! Don’t take anything you know in your heart is not okay. Tell your partner about it, tell them your feelings and how it is effecting you. You are a daughter/son of the most high God. If you open up the door to your heart to let him in, he will come in and Never leave you.
You deserve to be treated like a princess lady’s. because we are daughters of the king !! And once you fully understand that, no man no human ever will be able to walk on you again. Because when the Lord lives inside of you, even if you are treated badly by someone, it will have no effect on you because you know your heart and God knows your heart. And nobody will be able to change that! And it is incredible! Woman respect, appreciate and love your boyfriends/husbands! See them as God sees them!
Guys, you deserve to be treated like a prince and if there is disrespect, hurt or anything else that you feel is breaking you, stand up! You are a man in Christ and you deserve nothing but happiness! Men respect,appreciate and love your girlfriends/ wife’s! See them as God sees them!
I CANNOT say it enough.
DO. NOT. SETTLE!!!
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”
Philippians 4:6
