Hello, beautiful soul!
How are you doing? I really miss you all.
I am so sorry if I wasn't able to write an article for a while because I have been so busy doing some things in life, hehe😊 But, thankfully I am here and so excited sharing to you all what is in my mind today.
If you encounter the word "love" or hear someone very dear to you saying "I love you" how would you feel? How would you react? Is there something butterflies that keeps on flying in your stomach? Does it makes you feel great and inspired? Hmmm, Love, love, love the most crucial yet beautiful feeling in a person's heart.
For you, what is love? According to Verywellmind.com, "love is a set of emotions and behaviors characterized by intimacy, passion, and commitment. It involves care, closeness, protectiveness, attraction, affection, and trust. Love can vary in intensity and can change over time. It is associated with a range of positive emotions, including happiness, excitement, life satisfaction, and euphoria, but it can also result in negative emotions such as jealousy and stress." Whooo! That's what love can do. Friends, please be careful when it comes to entrusting your love to someone because that is a very serious matter in life.
Now, let me share to you the two views about love; the worldly view and God's view. Maybe some of you are already familiar with this but I hope it can help you know about "love" more.
I. The world says that "love is blind" I know you have heard it many times. Merriam Webster Dictionary does explained that loving someone makes you unable to see their faults. "I don't see why he bothered with her but then, love is blind" Also, according to theidioms.com,
"love is blind"
if you love someone, you cannot see the faults in that person
a person in love cannot see any imperfections in the person they love
if you love someone, it does not matter what they look like or what their faults are
Example
I really don’t understand why Mia likes Chris so much. He’s very selfish and inconsiderate; and doesn’t even treat her well. Well, love really is blind.

But, the Bible says, "God sees me" Genesis 16:13 (NIV) Stated, "She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “I have now seen the One who sees me.”
Isaiah 43:1b (NIV), "I have summoned you by name; you are Mine.”
God knows your name, sees you, and acts on your behalf; especially when you are hurting. There is never a time when He is not loving, guarding, supporting, cheering, hearing and protecting you.
Friends, may you always remember that God sees your needs, your conditions, your situations and He desires only what is best for you. You may not now understand why a certain things happened in your life but soon enough you will and realize that it is for your own good. Just keep on trusting and believing in God even when it hurts because in due time everything will definitely become worth it.
God's love for you will never be blind and will always be enough!
II. The world says, "love is like an onion, it will make you cry" the world believed that love is all about crying, suffering, compromising and cheating. But, the Bible says, "God's love is selfless and it overflows in you and it gives you pure joy and peace."
John 3:16 (NIV), "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
God is indeed a loving and a generous God. He never doubted sacrificing His very own Son, Jesus Christ just only for you. To give you Salvation through Him, to give you pure love, to give you hope, to give you an unending joy, to give you an unspeakable peace and to give you a devine healing. God's love for you is immeasurable, unstoppable and unbreakable. There is nothing you can do for God to unloved you because He faithfully lavished His love for you even before you were born.
May these verse gives you comfort ♥️
Revelation 21:4 (NIV), "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."
Psalm 34:18, “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.”
The world may make you cry for at some point of your life but do remember that God will forever loved you and will wipe all your tears away and will bring you a real joy that cannot be shaken.
If there will be a time that we tend to forgot the true meaning of love, let us go back to what the Bible says about it. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NIV), "Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance."
Whatever you are dealing with today my friend, especially in emotional aspect. May you forever be reminded that you are loved by the One who made the heavens and the earth. May you surpass all the hardships in life and will adhere to God's irrevocable promises for you♥️ You are irreplaceable and worth fighting for!
The Lord keep you and bless you beautiful soul! Shalom😇
