The enemy, satan, wants nothing more than to take us back to our past, to our sin, to our mistakes and convince us that we are not worthy and that we can't possibly amount to anything or that God can't use us because of our mistakes. But my God says "For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him". Psalm 103:11-13. Do you see how much He loves us "for as high as the heavens are above the earth", do you see how much He has forgiven us "as far as the east is from the west so far as he forgiven our transgressions". Everytime I read that scripture I'm like, wow, God really loves me and He loves me so much that He has forgiven me for EVERYTHING I've done because He loves me and because I've asked for His forgiveness. God loves us regardless of our past mistakes or our present imperfections. He love us just the way we are and His desire is that we desire to be more like Him. As the scripture says, "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Rom 8:38. God's love is amazing and nothing in this world or anyone in this world can come anywhere near it or separate us from His love.
So I ask you, have you struggled in relationships? Have you been betrayed and let down by someone who loved you? I'm sure you have because we all have and for some of us it has happened too many times. I've learned, through God's grace to forgive them and love them but the most important thing I've learned is that NOBODY CAN LOVE ME LIKE JESUS. So I challenge you, if you've been hurt, deceived or you are feeling lonely, seek the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, body and soul and come to that understanding that NOBODY CAN LOVE YOU LIKE JESUS. When you finally come to that understanding, you will stop expecting so much from your boyfriend/girlfriend spouse etc. because their love just can't compare to God's love. Also, pray, pray that God would manifest His love to you and that God will help your spouse, boyfriend/girlfriend love you like Jesus would want you to be loved.
Lets pray.
Thank you Jesus for your agape (unconditional) love and for always giving me another chance to get it right and not giving up on me. Thank you Lord that I can move on and not have to look back at my past because you have forgotten my past. Lord I want to know you more and love you more. Lead me Lord, draw me unto you that I may come to love you more, truly, truly love you with all my heart, soul and strength and seek your love before I seek the love of anyone. Help me to understand that true love comes from you. You truly are the author of love my Lord. Lord God there is not a romance in this world that can compare to your romance Lord God and I ask you to help me see that today.
Lord God I pray that everyone who reads this blog will be ministered to and that they would feel your love as intense as I have been fortunate enough to feel your love. God pour you love out on them and bless them with peace and revelation that comes only from you. I pray these things in the awesome and mighty name of Jesus. Lord God I adore you.
