♥ The Love of My Life ♥

God's love is truly amazing and like no other love. His love is perfect. Oh, how we long for true love; the real kind; love that conquers all; true, lasting love that rescues us, comforts us, makes us feel special and gives us a "Cinderella" life.

Is there really that kind of perfect love out there? I have heard many stories that get close, I have witnessed the cutest couples hand in hand, seemingly without a care in the world. I have settled in at night to watch my share of "love story" themed movies that could make even the hardest heart an ocean of tears. The movies seem so real, but are merely actors and actresses playing their parts. I know of real couples who seem to be in perfect relationships, and God does bless us with mates we love and who love us, and He instructs us in I Corinthians 13 to love. But we could search high and low and find that there is no love like God's love. His love is true. He is faithful. He is always with us. He is a constant encourager. He made the ultimate sacrifice for one reason; He loves us. He makes us feel special, because He made us special. He surprises us with gifts all the time through divine appointments, unexpected blessings, open doors and unforeseen provision. His gifts are lasting treasures.

God calls us and draws us to Himself. He wants our time because He wants our hearts. He longs to be in relationship with us. He is listening and waiting. His arms are always wide open for us. His desire is for us to rest in Him, sit at His feet and draw from Him every good and perfect gift.  His Word is a love letter from His heart to ours; the greatest gift we'll ever receive! God gives us direction and  wisdom for every circumstance we face. He doesn`t reject us, no matter what. He always embraces us regardless of how ugly we get on the inside or how awful we think we look on the outside. He forgives our sins and casts them into an ocean so vast, they are forgotten forever. He carries us through our valleys and calms our storms. He is our mighty Savior.

Imagine, there is someone who loves us in spite of who we are, in the midst of our failures and imperfections, and so unconditionally. God loves us. We are His, and always will be. Shower Him with your love today, not for what He can do for you, but for Who He is. God is love. ♥


"Heavenly Father, I just want you to know how very much I love you. I am eternally grateful that you love me. Thank you for your sweet, unending and steadfast love. You truly are the love of my life. In Jesus' precious name, Amen."
