| God rejoices over you! |
What is your first love?
Who has every inch of your heart?
Over the past couple years, the last especially, I spent
time healing my heart and seeking the only One who could ultimately fill every
hole of pain and sadness.
Was it selfish? I don’t
think so. Over the last year I got
closer to the One Valentine, the One who can fill every void of my heart if I
let Him inside the emptiness.
I had to face the reality and truth that my husband or
anything else for that matter cannot fill every part of my emptiness felt in my
heart and soul. I found only He can fill
the voids. In the moments where marriage
was hard and I found myself looking to him to fill the “holes,” I had to realize only my God could.
As I took time to spend with Him over the last few years,
especially the last one, I found out a few things which led me to some truths
that healed the emptiness. The truth of
His love for me filled the voids and granted me a new found freedom. It was wonderful. Other friends noticed as well as my face
radiated the peace only He granted. And,
my marriage was better too!!
Here is what I would call “God’s Love Letter” to me!! I reference scriptures so you can find the
truth in His word too.
My dear daughter,
You are enough.
“For by one sacrifice he has made
perfect forever those who are being made holy.” Hebrews 10:14
“God made him who had no sin to be
sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” II Corinthians 5:21 Through Him we are made perfect. Surely perfect is better than good enough!
You are fearfully and wonderfully made.
“For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am
fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful.
I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was
made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the
depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me were
written in your book before one of them came to be.”
Psalm 139:13-18
You have a unique purpose, only you can fulfill.
“For we are God’s workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us
to do.” Ephesians 2:10
You are significant.
“But now, this is what the LORD
says----
He who created you, O Jacob, He
who formed you, O Israel:
‘Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.’” Isaiah 43:1
You are loved with an everlasting love.
“The LORD appeared to us in the
past, saying: ‘I have loved you with an
everlasting love;
I have drawn you with
loving-kindness.’” Jeremiah 31:3
Nothing can separate you from My Love.
“For I am convinced that neither
death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future,
nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation,
will be able to separate us from the love of God.” Romans 8:38-39
I AM your refuge!
“But the LORD has become my
fortress, and my God the rock in whom I take refuge.” Psalm 94:22
Love,
Your Father
I know the heartache of being single much longer than I desired. I know I ran to other things to fill the void in my singleness and my marriage. Loneliness can occur at any season of life.
What I did find it when I ran into the arms of my Heavenly Father, I found a peace I found no where else. May you find a quiet peace as you look to Him for the everlasting love of your heart.
