Hi there, Diamond Glamour Girls;
Tomorrow is it the big day. The day every woman wants their man to romance them. It lands on a Friday, this year. Perfect no excuse for not taking the time to go out to dinner or to the movies or spend time together. The man has no excuse. Commercialism of the Holiday, the build up the people who want, those that don't, those that have forgot. It's not about the things, it's about the time time together.
I was just looking for ideas to write for this Valentines to give people hope. The love we desire. The love of the heart is so different that the love of man. Lust is a totally different. I just purchased a book of devotionals, I usually purchase one each year and as I flip through the pages for ideas to write about I noticed one thing. There is not one prayer for love. Not one. The thoughts are for strength, protection, power over coming adversity, but none that say..."God, please let him love me."
This Valentine, I am alone, not like many others. Even worse at my mothers house at my age. Something I never would have expected or counted on. I owe money to Attorneys, Doctors, and yes, even those that gave me the privilege of having a credit card. Thank God, those are small debts, still debts. I never thought I would write about what is happening to me in a blog or even that this would be happening. "I like many thought 'Love, never fails." (1Cor 13:8) "the greatest of these is Love" 1Cor 13:13
I am here to tell you, it does fail, it does falter, people do fall short of the goal and I am a sinner just like everyone else. "Saved by grace not by works that no man should boast." Some believe in the scripture 1Tim 6:10 "For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed the faith in their greediness, and pieced themselves through with many sorrow." Then Timothy goes on to say: "Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses." The truth have you ever heard the expression, "Life happens when your not looking?" That is what happens.
I was taught by my dad, who is in heaven that Love can conquer all things. Their comes a time when we can no longer fight the fight in the same way as we did in our youth. I have an aging mom, who is married to a man i never really ever got to know, children in college, employed and I have worked for a year now on a website that hasn't produce a thing. Do I pray for love No! I find myself continuing to fight the good fight. Am I happy, No! Do I need what ever human needs yes. I have the same basic needs any human has, need for a home, food, clothing, shelter, yes even the need for affection. Knowing someone loves me. Do I have to have love to survive, No. It is not a necessity it is a human desire. It is okay to be without love for a while, if it is part of the plan until he finds the person for you! The one thing I have tried to do is "the commandment is love" 1Tim 1:5
We are not told, go out and make great amounts of money or lust after men. Or make your marriage perfect and then bad things won't happen. Bad things happen even if you get married to the man you love. Even if you marry him as a virgin. Things happen. I have been bless to have had a dad who raised me on God's word. Was he perfect No, was he a great dad, Yes, why because he loved me enough to share God's word with me. For this I will be always grateful. Some understand this some don't. Either way, the fact that he could teach me like minded thinking, the fact that he could teach me at all was a gift from God. I will never regret what he has done. Secondly, when a man (dad, husband, child, son) shows these things to his daughter he is venerable. When he is venerable, it is so easy to make jokes about them, make fun of them or laugh, the truth is if you love them something happens to you and him that is unexplainable. You will feel love in a way that is humanly impossible to explain. For this reason we are commanded to love.
If abuse is involved or lust, You will not experience the same thing. Violence takes over Get Help! Call the police! Do what you have to do to stay safe, even if it is reporting the one you love. Sometimes men in sin can not tell the difference between love or lust. Praying they will. Showing grace at this point is not biblical.
These words are my Love gift on this Valentine's. Love is not perfect, it just knows how to show grace and it matures with time in accepting our mate is not perfect, our children are not perfect, our life is not perfect. It is perfect to me, because it is the life He gave me.
Happy Valentines Day!
