I finally let go and received this love that has been beckoning to me for so long. The thing is I have always been a romantic and I love gifts, acts of service, and quality time. Just surprise me and then be around. I have also been looking to God for my man who is going to show me all this romance while I do the same. I believe I'm not the selfish kind honestly (especially when it comes to love, I'm ready to give even more than I receive).
I decided that I should just keep giving in every way I can so that the man will notice and be ready to give also. I started giving so I can receive and this drained me because I wasn't receiving like I wanted to (the issue here is giving so I can be noticed and be given back. Imagine! π)
But, you know how God is right? Perfect and amazing. He had been giving but I had been too fixed on how I wanted to receive that I did not acknowledge his love and romance.
I finally had a wake-up call yesterday. God has been right by my side loving me and it was not enough! Wooow.
If God's love is not enough for me please what human love will be?
I will most certainly injure someone's son by demanding from him what he can not give because he is human and I will also injure myself trying to prove I am worthy of the impossible love demand I have placed on him.
Now, this is the other side of the table. All the while, God has shown me nothing but this impossible love. We all have that space that only God can fill and if we continue to look to man to fill it, we will drain ourselves and everyone around us.
I know this is probably one of those endless journies but I'm so glad God finally got my attention and I'm excited to go on it.
I am already loved, I am already chosen, I know who I am, I know what you've spoken. That is enough!!!
I shared more about this experience and you'll probably get it better by listening to my voice.
I'll love to know how this resonated with you and if you have had a similar experience. Kindly leave a comment below and share will you? Thank you.
God seriously goes miles for us, it's amazing.
Some forget to listen to the rest here.
Have an amazing week ahead.
Jireh!!
ReplyDeleteThis is totally relatable. His love is abounding.
Had a conversation with a friend recently and we agreed to consciously acknowledge God in every step we take no matter how trivia it is. This has in turn created a more intense awareness of God without actually being dutiful about it.
Truth be told, there are times I feel because I did something wrong..God is more distant from me but He has constantly shown that He is always there..this realisation encourages and boldness comes to always bear those fruits of righteousness.
Without mention, I have always had a particular framework of how a relationship is. But realised that loving God, being sincere about and with myself is as important as the expectations required in it. The only BOX I am in is God and how I navigate in the box should not be particular to a generic way.
It's being a Journey..Great truth and nice seeing you on Saturday!
Wow! There are times we feel unloved or not sure if loveable but the love displayed on the cross by my lover made realize that before my conception someone loved me. He called me his!
