It’s A Beautiful Thing To Be Able To Tell Yourself “I Don’t Have To Be Strong Right Now Because

When she is told Her skin is too dark; I do not hesitate to offer, That the sun loved her so much It kissed her more Than the rest of us.

“Anyone who wants to be godly and loving finds life, success and honor.”

When I speak I want to speak from His heart. When I look at someone I want to see them with His eyes. When I touch someone I want to touch them with His compassion. When I listen to someone I want to listen with a heart that has His understanding.

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.

Don’t let anyone dim the light that God has put in you!

“Let them judge you. Let them misunderstand you. Let them gossip about you. Their opinions aren’t your problems. You stay kind, committed to love and free in your authenticity. No matter what they do or say, don’t you doubt your worth or the beauty of your truth. Just keep shining like you always do.”

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of self control."

2 Timothy 1:7

Just show me that I’m important and that’s enough

The happiest people don’t have the best of everything, they make the best of everything.
