Inviting God In

Image
I feel like I posted this before but if so, I need to post again... If I didn't post already make sure you read till the end.  For a long time, I didn’t understand that we live in both a spiritual and physical world. I thought spirituality was small and limited, and the physical was where “real life” happened. What I didn’t know back then was that the opposite is true — it’s the physical that’s limited, while the spiritual is eternal and unshakable. I had heard about God, but I never really tried to know Him for myself. As I grew older, I still kept Him at a distance. He wasn’t first in my life. I thought I could handle things on my own, and so I never invited Him into my struggles, my decisions, or my pain. And here’s what I’ve come to realize: God saw me all along. He knew where I was, what I was facing, and what I needed. But He didn’t step in — not because He didn’t care, but because He is who He is. He won’t force Himself where He isn’t welcomed.

Love Is A Seed


Love is a seed that, when planted in good soil, grows and sustains.

God first loved us by giving, and in doing so He set the standard for how we are meant to love and to be loved. His love is patient, steady, and life-giving — never forced and never harmful.

What God blesses does not come with sorrow attached. His love brings peace, not confusion; rest, not fear.

Allowing God to renew our hearts so that He may dwell within us is an act of spiritual self-love. Slowing down, becoming still, and listening within is also an act of spiritual self-love.

We cannot truly give love to others if we refuse to extend grace to ourselves.
When we begin to care for our own hearts, we create the capacity to love others with gentleness and sincerity.

Self-love, then, is not pride.
It is preparation.

It is tending the soil so that love can grow.

Scripture: 

Ezekiel 36:26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you.

1 John 4:19 We love because He first loved us.

 

Affirmations:

My heart is being renewed gently.

I release rushing and choose patience.

Love is forming roots inside me. 

I am learning to receive love safely.

I allow God to restore my capacity to love.
