I Believe LOVE is the Answer
I Believe Love Will Find the Way

Ps.
31:16 Let your face shine on your servant, save me in your unfailing love.
Love
stories. We are drawn into novel land, whether we plunge into the romance of
the century or are warmed to the tale of men and women who brave wars or other seemingly
insurmountable situations. Yes, something larger than the customary and
mediocre happenings grabs our attention. But the glue, which holds us captive, is
relationships.
I
believe the love we seek and crave is bundled with magnanimous hues of strength
and grace. We were born to seek out love. We certainly need acceptance and to
know that we are significant in this troubled world. I believe LOVE is the
answer. I believe LOVE will find the way through troubled valleys or slippery
cliffs. I don’t believe the counterfeits of sordid love affairs that the world
promotes, has any value. I believe those shallow tales have done the greatest
harm and have caused many young women and men to settle for selfishness. The
greatest love story is God’s love letter to us. The holy word speaks of the
purest love, the kind of love we really need. It begins with the Trinity
creating the earth, our setting, and Adam and Eve, the human race. It ends with
the Son of God, our savior, whisking us away, rescuing us from unimaginable
terrors and suffering to bring us to our forever happy ending.
Passionate,
perfect love for us shows forth every day, through glistening sunshine or
blacked clouds zigzagged with lightning bolts. His love pierces our darkest
days, bringing our significance to light. Let
your face shine on your servant…and so it does. How precious it is that we
are more than servants, we are daughters and sons of the King of Kings! He woos
our hearts, all we have to do is respond to His call. Then we will have the sweet victory and witness
that LOVE will find a way.
We
long for courageous, unselfish heroes, individuals willing to enter the fray on
our behalf and risk it all, because they are strong, valiant, and able to win
our hearts. We long for the lasting, uncommon exciting love story. Whether we
write romance or contemporary, no matter the genre, we desire to find answers,
to find and be inspired by perfect love. My advice is that we spend time with
the Lover of Our Souls for He is our Anchor, our Bright Morning Star. He is our
Wonderful Counselor, Prince of Peace our Bridegroom. He will inspire and thrill
our hearts as we draw near to Him, seek Him out like precious silver and gold.
The story of His creation of the earth (HEBREWS
CHAPTER 1), sacrifice on the cross, and the great day when He
rescues us, bringing us to our heavenly, eternal home is fantastic. But the
relationship… that is the glue and what makes our hearts race to find LOVE.
Love
is the answer. Love will find the way….
Beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteHello Susan,
ReplyDeleteI don't just agree with what you said. I KNOW it is absolutly 100% true. The world has taken the word "Love" and warped it. But the fact is: God is the author of love.
Imagine what the world would be like if Christians actually LOVED with God's love...myself included, of course.
I hope you are doing well. God Bless You...

ReplyDeleteGreetings CatMom & Bernadine!! It's amazing how I can be so busy and yet He can still lead our posts for Pens of Praise. I chose the word 'Believe' and I could see at the meeting how that was the right word, unbeknownst to me! One of our Pens of Praisers shared something recently realized...a healing from a hurt and Believe was the perfect word for that day after years of struggle. It is amazing what God can do!! Hugs back to you CatMom and Bernadine I'll be visiting your blog soon!! :)
