Shout out to
all the wonderful people reading this blog
Being in love or falling in love is one of
the sweetest feelings in life. You know what I mean: the euphoria, the
enthusiasm, the joy, laughter, fun and fuzzy feelings that go with it. Some of
us are even in love with “the feeling of feeling in love” so much so that we
just can’t stay without being in a relationship. But this time there are two
people you need to fall in love with and it’s not what you think.
#1
Person – GOD
We all know God loves us. We all like to say
“I know God loves me because he’s been very kind to me”. We all like to be the
“beloved”, someone special before God. But it’s time to make a switch. How
about becoming a lover of God? You’ve been falling in love with all kinds of
people. How about falling in love with the one who knows just how to love you
right and touch you in ways you’ve never been touched before? There’s something
about falling in love with God: it satisfies that deep ache in your soul for
the kind of love no human being can ever give; the kind that liberates you from
that human tendency to demand from humans what only God can give. The truth is,
humans are imperfect and fallible so their love for you is also imperfect and
fallible; it can change at any time. But God’s love is everlasting.
Falling in
love with God also increases your capacity to give or receive love. In other
words, it enhances your human relationships because it makes you kinder and
more understanding. It frees you from making unrealistic demands from loved
ones (like wanting them to be there for you or available to you 24/7; only God
can be there for you in that manner). There’s always this glow about you that
makes you so attractive and irresistible when you fall in mad passionate love
with God because you know that the greatest one loves you and will never leave
you. Trust me, I’m speaking from experience.
#2
Person – YOURSELF
Loving yourself is the best gift you can give
to yourself this season. You may not be the finest, you may have flaws and
weaknesses that make you cringe. But the worst thing you can do to you is to
not love yourself. Stop thinking that you’re not good enough, pretty enough or
whatever. There is no perfect person and
there will never be a perfect person on this side of the universe. You’ll
be surprised to know that that person you envy or wish to be like also has
things about them that they don’t feel too good about (everybody does).
When
you don’t love yourself, it reflects in your carriage; your self-confidence and
makes you vulnerable to abusers and users who may seek to manipulate you with
false love for their gain. It makes you put up with crazy stuff and do crazy
things that are harmful to you. You start looking for people to validate you,
to love you and make you feel special. No one can give you self-love. Yes, they
may love you, but they can’t make you love you. You are a beautiful unique
individual worthy of love. As you look inwards you will see how beautiful you
are outwardly and inwardly. Make loving yourself a priority this season.
Take a break from running around looking for
who to love or who to love you. Make loving God and loving yourself a priority
this season and watch how attractive, confident, radiant and alluring you’ll
become. There’s nothing as attractive as a woman in love with God and in love
with herself. Xoxo
