Love

“Invite me, and I come. I stay until dawn breathes its light and night slips away. You’re beautiful from head to toe, my dear love, beautiful beyond compare, absolutely flawless.” –Song of Solomon 4:6

I have spent a lot of time this week asking God what He wants his daughters to know and I keep getting the same answer, "Tell them how much I love them." Not only that but He wants to show you. He wants your heart to be enveloped in His love. 

Love is the center of it all and in the end it's all that matters. We get so caught up in the technicalities and what the world expects of us that sometimes we forget that it's ok to just hide away and let God love us. In the first few months of opening up my heart the only thing I ever felt was love. God brought people into my life to show me what His love looked like and in the quiet He poured it on the broken areas of my heart. He sees into all the mess He sees you all the way through and He loves every part of you. His love is the healing kind, it is thick and heavy. Don’t be afraid to give your heart back to the one who created it. I can tell you from experience that even the most damaged is safe in his hands. He is a gentle God who will caress you into His arms. I don't care who you have been, where you have been or who you have been with... His love covers it all.
 

It changes everything: The way you see yourself - the way you see others - the way you see Him. 

It opens the door to trusting God and that's where healing can start. Even when I am scared to walk into something I know is going to hurt, even when I feel like I'm not ready to go deep, even when I'm unsure what the future holds... even then, one thing I am sure of is His love. Because I know His love, I know He isn't going to leave my side when things get rough, I know I'm not alone. The most precious moments I ever have with God are the intimate ones when it's just He and I. Usually in a dark, quiet room and He simply stills my heart. 

It's not something that can be understood or truly grasped, only felt. It doesn't expect anything in return, it just is. It's the prototype, pure and untainted. It fills every void and covers all regret. It's the same at your very worst as it is at your very best, it never changes. 

Cast aside all your pre-conceived notions and ask Him to show you what His love feels like. 

It has always been about love, He is obsessed with loving you.
