" 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.
