Difference between love and in love

I believe there is a big difference between loving and "being in love". I believe we were created to be in a loving relationship with Christ and people we meet and encounter. We must treat everyone with excellence, excellence of love, your character is defined by how you treat those that can do nothing for you. But God sees it all.

Now about being in love I believe the only way you can do that is by developing a long time long term relationship with Jesus Christ and getting to know more of him and his love to be consumed by his love and fall in love with him. 

Worthy, Valued, Blessed & Highly Favored

I once thought that my worth and value came from having a husband, having a business, having money, having a nice car, a nice house by the beach, a big family, friends, a degree, etc. I NOW know that none of that is worthy, none of that gives ME Value. None of that can truly satisfy the love you crave deep down in your soul, none of that can compare to what and for WHOM you were created for. I know because I tried, I tried it all. Sex, drugs, rock and roll, money, partying, working hard, two jobs, having my own business, nice dinners, no job, nice house, nice car, and none of it has truly satisfied me or that deep loving fulfilling desire my soul craves how only God can satisfy me and you. Have you ever felt you were created for more? Through God My eyes have been opened and I am now able to see the truth of what true love is and should be not only that but I've been blessed to experience what Christ's love, respect and honor is in a relationship. It was hard, I am not going to lie, we did not kiss or lay together, we did not do much other then hug from time to time and do a lot of talking? Why? Because #1 we chose to honor God with our bodies and mind, meaning we would not cause each other to stumble or fall into temptation. The enemy is clever and we have to be careful because he is looking for someone to destroy! Don't let it be you! Stay alert and stay plugged in, God has the perfect person for you, spend your time with God, seek Him, put Him first and He will give you everything else. I leave you with this bible verse I stumbled upon  ❤️

Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands. Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, because we are members of his body. “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband. (Ephesians 5:22-33 ESV)

Husbands, love your wives.

The Greatest thing a father can do for his daughter is to love her mother.

 

Husbands, Love your wives as God loves the church.

Wives, submit to your husbands as if you were submitting to God.

 As I begin to write this I will say that this is only by the grace of God that I am able to share this with you.
I am so happy and excited to see God at work and I thank Him. 

For about a decade of my life I spent it looking for love in all the wrong places and all the wrong faces.
