Showing Love

We say we love God but how are we showing Him that we love Him?  Love isn't just a feeling it is an action, the Bible shows us this in 1 John 3:18 “My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.”  God loved us so much He sent His only begotten son to die in atonement for our sins. (John 3:16)   God created us to fellowship with Him but our sin separates us from Him.  How amazing it is when you realize He gave His son so we could be saved and continue in fellowship with Him.   God showed us He loved us “Romans 5:8  But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Yes, we are saved when we accept Jesus as Saviour but it must be heartbreaking to God when that becomes the only true fellowship we have with Him.   We agonize when we do not hear from our relatives, sometimes we wonder if we have done something wrong or if perhaps they love their busy life more than us.  God KNOWS we love Him just as we know our family still loves us but when we are too busy to pray or read our Bible we aren't as close to God as we should be and we aren't putting our love into action.  While it is true that God knows our needs He still wants us to talk to Him through prayer and He talks to us through His word the Bible.  Being close to God is how we gain our strength (Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.). This means that we need to go to Him in prayer at all times not just when we need something. “1Thessalonians 5:17  Pray without ceasing.”  Most of us have experienced a time when we know that someone contacts us only when they want something or we hear I love you and just know a request is soon to be made.   We don't need to get to that point when we say I love you God and He asks what is it you want.  Talk (pray) to God about everything you won't bore Him, He wants to hear from us.  He doesn't expect us to use our own strength so pray even if you are ashamed of whatever it is because you cannot surprise God.  Through His word (the Bible) God speaks to us; He has the best guidance, counseling, comfort and provision but we have to read it and listen to Him.  We often get frustrated when people don't listen to what we say, won't hear us or they treat our say as worthless.  When we don't read God's word and aren’t praying isn't that exactly what we are doing to God?  When we get too busy aren’t we really showing that everything else in our life is more important to us than God.  Show God you love Him by making sure that you pray and read His word.  You gain your strength from God and if you don't do these two things your works for Him aren’t as effective and are being carried out in your own strength.  So in all the busyness we need to remember to pause and show God we love Him.  Are you showing Him that you love Him?

    Authentically ME

    I'm a wife of 25 years to a husband that consistently chooses to love me despite my flaws and a mother of 3 wonderful, loving and giving children. I have 7 babies waiting for me in Heaven.  I'm imperfect, often feel broken and I'm always learning; you will see many aspects of what makes me the person I am throughout this blog. Though the ups and downs in this journey through life I have learned and am learning so much, I'll never stop learning. I hold myself to impossible standards yet I know I am imperfect and will keep trying, I keep dusting myself off and getting up to go again. I understand the uniqueness of every situation and person, I am ME and others are who they choose to be; I don't have to agree with you or you agree with me. I make no secret of my standards, do NOT harm children, do NOT destroy others health (physical, mental, spiritual or financial); that's my boundaries and what it takes to have access to me. If this is too much to ask feel free to move along and I let go with love and genuinely want the best for your present and future. Healing isn't a place of arrival, it's continuous, I have healed from many things and I am still healing; like an onion healing comes in layers, like the tides; healing comes in ebbs and flows. I love, I observe, I learn and forgetting the past/history leads to cycles of chaos and I refuse to forget and not remember; I will continue learning from the lessons.  I have my fair share of problems and battles, I win some and lose some but by God's grace I'm continuing in the good fight. I'm attempting to live life authentically and I enjoy the many blessings I have received both in happiness and pain. I don't have any licenses in Biblical Studies, or Health (physical, mental, spiritual, financial). I have background in military, health, service of others and individual trainings and research; I don't claim to be an expert on anything and I advise you to research and advocate for yourself as well as consult professionals.  I'm  sharing experiences and lessons I am learning or trying to learn as I go through life. Choose to remember but not fear, choose to enjoy the now and cherish priceless moments; look forward to changes knowing that lessons will come and more beautiful glimpses, love and joy are all available when you look closely at times from your past, moments within your present and the possibilities from your tomorrows. I am a survivor, I love deeply, I am a truth finder and I am a warrior, I am ME. Know you have strength, you have value, you are enough, you are worthy of peace and happiness, your boundaries are yours and it's okay to enforce them, you are loved, you are missed, you deserve support, your goodness to people and the world is noticed, you deserve to heal, your voice matters and you deserve to be seen and heard; best of all love yourself in your uniqueness flaws and all.
