In your search for love you NEED to know this ONE truth!

Are you a Believer searching for love?

Single or Married.

Young or Old.

Male or Female.

You NEED to know this one truth in the core of your being. Today can be hard… the heartache of seemingly uncelebrated & unreciprocated affections especially tries to creep in on holidays like today.

Yes, during my 7 years of singleness Valentine’s was often hard. But honestly? It was even more so in the midst of not just unhealthy, but abusive relationship.

But somehow in ways the Lord alone is capable of, it was also sweet. From the places of hurt, struggle, & waiting I learned to more completely press into the presence of the Lord.

From “I wouldn’t know a healthy relationship if it bit me in the butt”… to “show me. Teach me, like the Good Father You are, Lord.” Here is what He showed me:

The degree to which a person loves the Lord is the sole (soul) BEST indicator of how capable they’ll be on their BEST days of loving you.

So in the waiting, I decided to focus upon becoming the love I desired to find. To learn to love (& be loved by - accepting of) the Lord better.

And I have clung to that Truth. I asked to become that Truth. Let me fall so in love with You, Lord, that every other relationship is simply an overflow of Your extravagant filling.

Let me be satiated by Your love, Lord, over & over & over again. Perpetual filling. Not just while I waited to find a man with genuine love for me, but all the more now that he is in my arms.

We need the perpetual filling of the Lord for OURSELVES & our healing. And then? For every single interaction, every single day for the rest of our time on earth. May you be completely filled today, beautiful friends.

”I will never forget this awful time, as I grieve over my loss. Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this: The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease.“
