{Love is a scary thing but ‘oh so beautiful all at the same time.}
I’ve been going through a season in my life learning what real love is.
It blew my mind to find out that for many years I’ve been running from it. After constantly being rejected and experiencing abandonment as a child I now realize that it led me to believe that I was unworthy..that I was unloved. Growing up in a negative environment triggered on how I viewed ‘love’ as an adult. I thought I knew the love God had for me but the truth is I didn’t honestly believe in it with all of my heart.
The fact was: My relationship with Him was mostly built upon fear of Him not accepting me. I felt as if I needed to be perfect or He would be dissapointed and see that I wasn’t good enough.
But still..He remained faithful, He loved me before I knew what love was, He has been setting me free from the lies that the enemy has planted into my mind throughout the years.
But we are His children! He loves us. We just need to believe in that truth.
“We have known and ‘believed’ the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. We love Him because He first loved us.” 1 John 4:16-19
I now believe that I am worthy of His love. I now will choose to accept & to believe the love others pour into my life. It is uncomfortable because I’m stepping away from what I always knew; which was very unhealthy.
I am in the process of becoming emotionally healthy. The uncomfortableness is definitely worth it. It is time for us to quit running away from uncomfortableness.
*Confront it and allow it to produce inner growth.
*Learn to be comfortable being uncomfortable.
Fear has been my greatest enemy. It is also such a waste of time, I thank God for wanting to break its bondage in my life. Each and everyday Christ has been setting me free from those chains that have crippled me for years. His love and freedom is everything!
I admit that it is a very painful process when you allow Him to heal your wounds but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I am being healed! This suffering is a blessing!
In this life…There will be pain, there will be hardship. As people of God, we are not exempt from trials and tribulations. But let me tell you, we have a covenant with God that He will deliver us out of all of them. No matter how bad it may seem, we can overcome anything by Faith.
See, the key to our deliverance is our faith.
Faith is how we live victoriously! I had to learn this constantly going from disappointment to disappointment..accepting a life of defeat and hopelessness.
But you know what? No more. I have chosen to have faith in God and I have a testimony today! No matter what happens, what comes my way…By Faith, By Faith, I will make it.
It doesn’t matter what I feel; I cling to the truth that I am getting closer and closer to live the abundant life that Christ wants for me and you.
Through every pain, Rejoice. If you are going through a tough season experiencing some intense pain, know that you’re not alone. Christ is molding you into His character, He will provide His strength for you to push through every storm that comes your way.
Know that the reason the enemy is fighting you this hard is because He knows the incredible plan God has for your life and that infuriates him. Don’t give up!
You’ve made it this far.
You are Worthy.
You are Loved.
In the name of Jesus! You will not be defeated. Resist the devil & cling tightly to your Savior. He sees the cry of your heart. He breaks every chain. He loves you.
His name is Jesus.
I love you too. At this very moment I just want to dive into a huge pool of LOVE.
Peace, Joy & Love Always
