I woke up this day with her on my heart.
It’s almost Valentine’s Day... and she’s wounded I thought...
Whether it was an intentional wound like divorce, adultery, abandonment or emotional withdrawal... she’s left alone.
I hate the commercial nature of Valentine’s Day.
I’ve been married for 20 years and no hallmark card, box of chocolate, red rose or gift can make me feel like knowing Jesus.
Jesus is the missing part.
Everyone needs Jesus, so we all carry that wound, or emptiness inside.
Only Jesus can fill us and make us fully satisfied.
Dear sister-
My prayer is that you will redeem the day! Hug your mom, dad, sister, brother, child, pet or even best friend, and know that God is “El Roi” He sees you.
Oh yes He sees you.
He sees how you prayed and prayed for a spouse, for a life partner and the enemy robbed that from you.
He sees (now this applies only to some of you)
how you ache when you must text this man who is now only known as
“The kids’ father ” to ask for money because they are growing out of their shoes so quickly.
He (our Perfect Father) sees how TV shows like the Bachelor, or romantic comedies make you cringe, because deep deep down, you either
“Want” that Romance or you once had it and because of betrayal ... lost it... and really... it was a lie.
He sees your desire for romance...
Let God in.
It’s ok to cry today, or any other day you miss having a spouse, or close friend to connect with.
There is nothing wrong with that desire.
But dear one, I pray you don’t settle!
Don’t settle for the man who is not sold out to Christ.
Or for the brother, don’t settle for the nice girl, who doesn’t read her Bible or desire to go to church or pray with you.
God didn’t settle for allowing you to linger in His outer courts.
NO
Jesus died, He sacrificed His body so you can come in... so you could come close... so you can enter into the throne room behind the veil. Inside the veil (like a “dressing room” type area where only intimate people can see each other).
God wants you.
ALL OF YOU.
God desires the most intimate fantastic love with you.
Yes earthly relationships are wonderful...
But feelings fade....
Attractions even fade...
And a good marriage takes a lot of work.
God desires our marriages to be blessed with Him in the center...
If you are unmarried...or married...
Widowed... single... divorced.... or even separated...
Let God love you.
Let God romance you.
Enjoy intimacy with the Lord.
Write love letters to Him and cry out all of your prayers.
Psalm 37:4
Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
