Love On The Line.

So we all know what holiday was yesterday, right?  If you guessed Valentine's Day, then you are correct.  Now I have another question for you.  What does love mean?  According to dictionary.com love is defined as a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.  What is God's love?

1 Corinthians 13: 4-7 says..
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

God's love is never failing.  He adores us every day, every hour, every minute, and every second.  His love is perfect.  Even when we do not feel it sometimes, it is definitely there.

He was my valentine.  He is the only person I can truly depend on.  I know he will never fail to disappoint me.  He is my shoulder to cry on.

1 John 4:19 says..
We love because he first loved us.

We are able to love because he loved us first.  Is that incredible or what?  He is the greatest of all romance.  He is the reason for everything.  We must appreciate his love before anything else.

Dear God,
Thank you for showing us your great love for us everyday.  It is your love that means the most to us.  We must love you first before anything else.  You continue to show us love even in the darkest of days.  I pray we continue to appreciate your love for us.  I pray all these things in your awesome name.  Amen.

Diamonds.

Happy Monday! God is refining us into diamonds.  He is making our stories perfect through his eyes.  Isn't that awesome? Zechariah 9:16 says.. The Lord their God will save them on that day as the flock of his people. They will sparkle in his land like jewels in a crown. It is amazing how much God loves us even though we sin over and over.  We must always remember to forgive our sins.  He is the way and the light of the world. Dear God, I thank you that you see us as perfect diamonds.  I pray you continue to lead us through the dark.  Please be with us as we continue to live our lives for you.  I pray all these things in Your awesome name.

Sometimes God Blows My Mind.

Just the other day a sermon appeared on my youtube home screen for the first time ever.  I clicked the video and began watching.  Her name was Heather Lindsey, and I knew nothing about her.  I was a couple minutes in and realized I needed to save it for later.  I kept the tab open until I had enough time to watch the 42 minute sermon.  Tonight was the night I decided to watch it, and man does God place things in your life that you need to hear.  I have typed out my notes that I jotted down during the sermon, and I will link the video below.  If you need a Jesus pick-me-up, then please do not hesitate to watch this sermon.  It is truly amazing to see God work through this message. Heather Lindsey - Stormy Seasons: Trusting God In the Midst of the Storms of Life. It is easier to forgive at church, but we walk out the door and still sin. Luke 8:22 God tests us. In the middle of the trial, have faith and hope in God. God wants to know w...
