February. The month of Love.
So with all the negative words that bombard us each and every day, I thought I’d counteract it all and share with you some encouraging words of love.
I can hear some of you sighing. What’s the point of Valentine’s Day? No one cares. Or It’s just another holiday for the cash register.
But hold on, dear one! Focusing on love is always a good thing. Especially when we focus on God’s love. And His love for His beloved ones.
And you, dear heart, are one of His beloved ones.
I hear some souls drooping, But I don’t feel beloved.
Perhaps you’ve been grieving, even in the solitude of your closet, grieving over some loss in your life. Perhaps the loss of a loved one.
Perhaps the loss of a marriage. Perhaps the loss of a friendship. Perhaps the loss of a job.
Perhaps you feel deeply disappointed at some situation. Perhaps you’re feeling very discouraged right now.
Perhaps…well, whatever your perhaps may be, your heart is wounded. Your eyes spill over with stress-induced tears from a broken heart.
You need truth-filled words to lift your spirit. Well, chin up, my friend! I’m here to tell you that feelings change, but the truth of God’s love for you does not. The Truth from His Word.
His Word says He loves you with a love that can still any storm, win any battle, override any tension or discomfort, soothe any pain, comfort any hurt, calm any fear, and will always uphold you, always share peace and joy with you.
YOU, the one He loves truly.
YOU, the one for whom He died.
YOU, the one He beckons for nearness.
YOU are His precious heart’s desire. The Lord’s espoused, His intended, His cherished companion for all eternity.
He rejoices over you with mirth and pleasure. He spins around in excitement over you with shouts of joy and songs of praise! (Zeph. 3:17)
“We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in His love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect.” (1 John 4:16-17a NLT)
No matter what circumstance is swirling around you, you are loved and you will be okay. If your life is falling apart right now, you’ll be okay. Even if all looks dark and dreary, you’ll be okay.
Let me encourage you, no matter what day it is, YOU are loved. Each. And. EVERY. Day. No matter what!
The only one you truly need to make you feel loved is the Lord, the God of Love. He will never leave you, never abandon you, never leave you helpless.
And that, my sweet friend, should fill your tank with overflowing words of love!
You’ll be okay…because you are loved!
“He will dance for joy over you with singing.”
Zephaniah 3:17b TLV
May your heart be overwhelmed with the full knowledge of the magnitude of God’s love for you...Lynn
A Note from RD Montgomery- For most of my life, I have struggled with believing the content of this post. I believed that my failures kept me at odds with my God. That was Satan accusing me and keeping me defeated. You need to believe this post, and if there is any doubt, you need to keep exploring what this post means until it sinks in. You are NOT the best judge of your worthiness to God, He is. Sometimes we hear things like, "God loves you" and we pass over it because it is said so often. Don't pass over it. Dwell on it! Ephesians 3:17-19
