Valentine's Message

Lately, God has been speaking and teaching my soul about relationships. I don't know if because it's Love Month or whichever.

It all started when God allowed something to test me and how I will respond and what learning I will gain from it. And while I cannot tell the complete story of events, the learning I got from that whole two months is this:

Real love is demonstrated. Yes, there are times when prayer and seeking God for His wisdom is good. But real relationships are not spurned out of those alone. The real relationships happen when true Christ-like love is demonstrated.

Sometimes, as a single lady, we (or I) can go overboard about spiritual signs and wonders. That old-time joke of "Siya na ba? Siya na ba?" (English: Is he the One? Is he the One?) But God would balance that now by saying true love is not just about those things. The person really has to demonstrate that he loves you with the love of Christ. It should show not just in his words but in his actions, how he treats you and how he treats other people (If he can't treat you right right now or other people, how do you think he will treat you when you're already married?).

And then, yesterday I was reading this quote by the late Dr. Myles Munroe, that wisdom he puts in the context of leadership that "You don't go looking for it (leadership). You are prepared for it." I think it kind of speaks at least for the ladies that the love we're seeking for (just like God's love) is the one that will find us. It's not something you look for (again for the ladies), but it's something that finds you. And we are already being prepared for it. Let God and the men do the searching for us.

But for now, know that you are already being prepared. Meanwhile, reserve yourself for a man who will demonstrate and go out of his way to show you his love is real. It is true that love is more than an emotion. It is a decision.

Such is the love of God for you. He demonstrated it on Calvary:

"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
Romans 5:8 

God demonstrates His love for you everyday, night and day. He hears your heart, listens to you when you speak, and He sends people, food and other blessings along the way. But the greatest sign of His love is truly when He demonstrated it for the world to see and that was what He did for you 2,000 years ago, taking our punishment and shame even though He was righteous, without sin, and innocent so that the one who is guilty might be forgiven in the sight of a Holy and Righteous and Loving God.

You will never be asked to give more than what God has already given to you.

True love and life.

God's heart for you is not to restrict you but that you be treated well and receive true love from your future husbands. For God is the author of true love and does not desire for you anything less.

God already determined your value on the cross for you to receive that you are really valuable to be waited for and pursued. Because He (God) pursued you and sought you first.

Blessings and Love from Your Beloved God, your true Lover, Keeper and Friend...
