" I love you" As a divorced single mom I have one major fear... the fear of having my heart broken again. It creates in you a vulnerability that can cause you to distance from anything, and anyone who might bring out your insecurities. Love can be wonderful but it a scary 4 letter word too. God tells us to guard our heart, he also tells us how powerful love is! So these three things continue: faith, hope, and love. And the greatest of these is love. 1st Corinthians 13:11 The GREATEST of these is love. That is a powerful statement. So why do we throw the word love around so carelessly when God obviously sees it as something with great power? I decided to take my relationships very literal when talking about love. When you look at the word it says that God is clear. There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. John 15:13 “I give you a new command: Love each other. You must love each other just as I loved you. All people will know that you are my followers if you love each other.” John 13:34-35 God did not create love just for us to be afraid of it. He created it from His amazing love for us, showing us His love so that we can learn from it and share it with others. So today I chose not to be controlled by fear. Love is way more powerful then fear.

Dear Lord, Thank you for this new friend who you have allowed to enter my life. God I pray that the words from my mouth and the meditations of my heart will be pleasing to you. I ask that you surround me with godly men and women to draw influence and inspiration from. Allow me to seek you and hear your voice clearer then anyone else right now God. Don't let my heart be open to the wrong things, things that are not of you. Let my actions and thoughts be pleasing to you. Please help nothing to take away from the person you have grown me into and only let positive connections happen that will add to my growth in your name. I ask that you help me not to be distracted and not to distract anyone from you. Be with me in my heart as I move forward with this. Guide me and help me to see others the way you do. Help me to relinquish all timing and control to you knowing that your awesome power is what is needed to lead my life. Amen |
