This Is Most Definitely The Season That The Lord Has Me In Right Now. It May Be Frustrating And Confusing

Song of Solomon 8:4

Take the warning seriously about love. (Songs of Solomon 8:4)

God wants you to enjoy love with the one He has given you. He wants to enjoy love with you. He wants you to enjoy love with the one He has given you. He wants you to enjoy it in a proper fashion. This is the reason God warns THREE times in the Song about stirring up or awakening love before its time.

“Young women of Jerusalem, I charge you: do not stir up or awaken love until the appropriate time.” (Song of Solomon 8:4, HCSB

The Song even acknowledges how hard it is to be this patient.

“Young women of Jerusalem, I charge you: if you find my love, tell him that I am lovesick.” (Song of Solomon 5:8, HCSB)

Many times, we want to strike the spark of love before we are ready. God warns us to be patient. Of course, it doesn’t help that we live a society that pushes that on us. Society pressures us. Whether it is the pressure of giving gifts and cards on Valentine’s Day, or selling us sex in a movie like Fifty Shades of Grey, society wants to tell you how to love. We must remember Who our source of love is.

“The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love.” (1 John 4:8, HCSB)

God is love and He is our Source of love. We will not get the most satisfaction of love without Him. So we need to take God’s warning here seriously about romantic love. At the same time, we need to learn to be faithful and enjoy the one God gives us to express our love.

(positivity message) What accomplishments are you most proud of?

Cancelling my pity party and taking full responsibility for my life.

God has really done some serious purification since I first entered secondary school. If I could meet my past self I'd give her a big teddy bear hug and let her know all the pain will be worth it. Although the flames will still burn the same. It's all been worth it. I constantly need to remind myself now at 17. The vulnerability I've grown into with God would suprise past me. I talk to him openly as my friend. Slang, eyerolls, tears and all. And he listens. He cares about every second of it! Even the things which aren't actually that imooetsnt. He doesn't deny my emotions. He doesn't make me feel invalid for them. What a friend I have in Jesus.

forever grateful i’m not who i used 2 be

Say “even if” - My circumstances do not change God‘s goodness. Let’s trust in Him during the good and the bad 🙏
