I start my first blog tonight somewhat free handed.. I just felt lead to take time to write what is on my heart.
Its been a day of frustrations for me for the most part. I have been trying to prepare for the " She Speaks "
conference I am attending at the end of the month. I have alot of preparing to do, and feel I have been very busy lately, with high maintenance people,lol.
I keep thinking , is this something I should do, if it has been so hard? I don't want to neglect those who need me, so maybe I should just lay it down,call the ministry and say let some other deserving lady who was on the waiting list take my place.
And the Lord reminds me His Grace is sufficient... He is made perfect in my weakness because he does love me. He has the final say... not my circumstances.
I look around I see so many things going wrong, yet so many things going right, and the Lord spoke to my heart.. " Love has the final say"...I pondered on that for a little while, and asked what do you mean Lord, and he says " I have the final say"... For I am God, and God is Love.
So my God of Love has the final say in your life and in my life.
It doesn't matter what people say , or what people do.. Who's support we have or don't have.
Who makes the journey pleasant, or unpleasant.. none of this really matters.
When all is said in done, did we walk in a love relationship with the Lover of our soul, our savior, and with others.
Do you really trust me with this Robin? Do you believe that I am more than able to bring you through
sucessfully . Do you believe that " I " love you enough to help you, " I " love you enough to guide you. I know you say you do, but do you? Do you compare the love of humans with my love.... Where they have failed you, let you down, or turned on you.Do you preceive my love like that , in doubt and fear.
Do we fully know what LOVE is ?
Love is a beautiful word, greatly distorted by the ruler of darkness. So many people associate Love with pain, and disappointment, because it was used and abused wrongly.
But REAL TRUE LOVE ~
True Love from throne of God Love is the Most beautiful gift ever.
Its the Love every soul longs for and searches for......
Its love that hung on a Cross, paid the highest price , that we could have eternal life.
Its the Love that compelled and drew you to the heart of the Father, to receive salvation.
Its the Love of the Holy Spirit hovering over a church ministering to the lost and to the saints
Its the Love of a husband sacrificing for his wife and children.
Its the Love of a wife choosing to respect her husband, when he might have let her down
Its the Love of a mother who wakes in the wee hours of the night with her sick baby, and never complains.
Its the Love of a child as he/she picks flowers for their mommy.
Its the Love of a friend that you can pour your heart out to ,and they never judge,or condemn you, but keep you heart guarded and protected from gossip.
Its the Love of Unity... choosing to walk in love, regardless of our differences for the glory of God.
And all this love only comes from the throne of God.
Why have we made a mess of such a beautiful Gift.......
Society... has mocked Love...I love M&Ms ..I love this store, I love that movie.. ect..
People date 2 weeks and declare an undying love.." I will always Love you"
Really......
Well according to the word .. Love is not how society has based it..... on things.. or infatuation.
For real love is as1 Corinthians 13 declares that..... Love is patient, Love is Kind , Love does not envy ; Love does not boast, Love is not rude, Love is not self seeking , Love is not provoked, thinks no evil.
It does not rejoice in iniquity , but rejoices in the truth. Bears all things, believes all things, endures all things. Love NEVER fails .....(vs) 13 and now abide faith, hope , love these three, but the greatest is LOVE ....
Love( God) Conquers all according to the word..in actuality the word is saying God conquers all... so why is it so hard to Love .. Why is it so hard to walk in Love at times. We want to defend and protect ourselves from those who wrong us.. when yet the greatest challenge I believe that was givin to men kind was ...... Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, and do good to those who dispitefully use you.
Sometimes I think really God, how is this possible. My happiness depends on this.
But I am starting to think the whole point to that is to keep us in right relationship with him.. its partly showing others what Christ was like on the cross, and we are to be in his likeness, and part of it is, it is more important to stay in right relationship with the Father , not make a mockery of Christ, and not quench the spirit... than to always win and be right.
Nothing escapes the Fathers eyes, he is our battle fight... He is just.
I believe this is the beauty of the Cross. A perfect man.. who did no wrong loved us
enough to sacrifice it all ..
So in every day life.. when people are rubbing us like sand paper, we are tested and tried. We are fed up at our wits ends, we have to make a choice to go back to the cross.. where love was so amazing, get on our knees pray, read our word, and ask the Holy Spirit to help us. Cause I truely believe this commandment of Love is IMPOSSIBLE without a constant abiding in Christ. John 15:5
and in all else in our lives Trust the LOVE of the Father.. For no one knows love, nor gives love like the creator of Love..
Loving God & Loving His People
Robin
Robin...Good word.He is enough. I am so excited to see what God is going to do through you and the ministry that is going to come out of your testimony of His love and faithfulness. love you!
