Love

Child, do not try to hide from me. If you want to hide, hide in me. I will be your shelter in time of storm. I see your every dream, your every heart’s desire.

My loved one, I put those there. I have given you my blessing; move on, go forward. Dreams will only come true if you do something about them. I am here with you; I will always be there! Oh how I joy when you dream big! Do not let anyone tell you ‘No, I don’t think it will work’ or ‘Well yeah that’s nice, but…’ 

My love, ‘but’ only halts you. Oh dear one, no words can describe how much I love you. It is so deep, so intimate. I am what holds you together, I am what fulfills you. I am always, always by your side; never doubt that.

Oh dear one, why are you looking for love? I am here. Do not worry, I am here, I will calm your fears. Cry on my shoulder my child, always remember, I will wipe away every tear you have cried.   

Dear one, do not look for love in the things of this world; for that is what they are; things. All things will fall away at one point or another. Ignore what they say ‘lasts a life time’ 

Child, only I will last a life time, and eternity. I know you want to come home, to live eternally, but dear one, you have me in you, you are living eternally. I am forever; and as you are a reflection of me, you too, will be forever.       

Never try to earn your way to heaven my beloved. I have done everything; and you have received it. Oh how I joy in your success!

Keep going, keep pressing on. I’m your fan; I’m your cheer leader. This is my love note, from me, to you, your partner, forever. 

That was a love letter, inspired by God. I wrote that in 2009. 

                                                              

 Sometimes, it isn't always easy                                           

 to hear the words "I love you" 

from the person that is saying it. 

Love is a powerful thing. It can be used as a tool, a weapon, a blanket;it could the shoulder you have buried your head into for comfort.   

So tell me. Where do you look for love?

                                                                         1 John 4:18 (ESV)

                                          "There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. 

                For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love."

God wants to perfect you in His love. HIS love is the only perfect love. 

Are you still looking for love? He is knocking on the door of your heart.

                Let Him in. 

                                 

                              Love is calling. Will you answer?

Heartbreak

                          
                                                                                                  
The dictionary describes it as "overwhelming distress", but once you break it down, it is really just something that has happened to you, and, metaphorically speaking, broken your heart.

Heartbreak isn't just caused by the person you've been dating, breaking up with you. It is hilarious to me that so many people limit it to that, to just two people quitting their relationship, then walking out of each others's lives, when there are so many causes of heartbreak. 

There are children all over the world that are starving (or even in your own community); people that are going to be lacking heat during the upcoming winter; a family tragedy could be taking place within the family of one of your close friends, but have you even noticed? Have you recently looked at the statistics for abortions, per day, world wide? Approximately 115,000. PER DAY.   

How many girls are being raped as you read this? How many are being kidnapped and sold into sex slavery? How many wives are being abused by the one that they thought was their soulmate?

How many families are mourning the loss of the life of someone that willingly put their life on the line, to protect our country, to protect the Freedom that you currently enjoy?

Now, take a deep breath. Close your eyes for a moment. Is heartbreak still there, knocking on your door?

Go out and look at the stars, and try to count them. There isn't a number that can be put on how many stars that are in the sky. The same goes for broken hearts. 

Close your eyes again for a moment, and forget all of the depressing thoughts nagging at you. 

Now open them, and smile. Smile, because the same God that created the countless stars, also created the countless hearts that are now broken. 

He is the only one that knows the exact number of stars. He is the only one that knows the number of all the broken hearts. He was the first to experience heartbreak. 

Take His hand. Let Him walk you through it. Crawl into His lap and cry for a bit. 

If you would only look past your situation of depression, I'm sure that if you looked up, you would see God smiling down on you, saying, "I was there once. I am here for you now."

He will take care of you. Put your heart in His gentle hands.
