His Binding Love Letter

Here it is post Valentine's Day and though I am not a huge fan of this particular holiday, I do find a tender sweetness of it's meaning.

Sometimes being single has it's downfalls and holidays are a reminder that I am indeed single. Most of the time I am quite content where I am in my journey of singleness and then there are those times in between when I wonder if I will ever share my life again with a man. I do not ponder on that thought quite often as I know my daddy God has a plan and the right man for me. This year Valentine's day was odd for me. I was not in a place of sadness nor did I feel sorry for myself. It was not a pity party holiday for me but yet I found myself wanting to hear I am loved. And I believe my daddy God wanted to show me as well. So yesterday as I read many beautiful post from what seemed like tons of flower pictures, and candy filled "I love yous", I secretly asked myself what is my love letter in life? I felt a nudge in my heart to pull out my bible and find out what my daddy God had written to me; the sweet nothings He has purposely spoke into my life.

Though my love letter was not a store bought card , there is was in bold lettering typed in the pages of my daddy God's written word. One could say the entire bible is His love letter to us all and I would agree whole-heartedly. However on this day He gave me a few beautiful, profound and heart stopping verses for my Valentine's gift; His binding love letter.

Psalm 139:1.... He knows me, my every part of me.
Psalm 56:8.... He collects my tears.
Psalm 91:14-15.... He delivers me and sets me on high because I love him.
Jeremiah 31:34.... He makes himself known to me and forgives me.
Hosea 11:18.... He has sympathy towards me.
Hosea 14:4-5.... He heals me, loves me unconditionally and has no anger towards me.
Isaiah 49:15.... He never forgets me.

And my heart melted.................

Singleness is not a taboo in my life. It is not a life time sentence, it is however a validation that I know my worth and in spite of moments of loneliness I may have, I know who I belong to and His love is a love that can never be removed nor replaced. Nor am I ever truly alone.
And neither are you.

So today if you feel a lack of love in your life, I encourage you to open the pages of the best love letter of all, the written words of our daddy God. His love just oozes off the beautiful typed fill pages.

His binding love letters..........

Forever His Daughter,

Her Son.....Our Saviour

This is a post I wrote 4 years ago (4/8/12) on "Shakin' the Foundation" blog site. I share it every Easter. I pray it ministers to your hearts. **************************************************************************** As Easter approaches, I have been thinking alot about Jesus' time here on earth. We have all heard of his birth,his teachings,his signs,wonders and miracles. For the most part, we have been taught his life story from those who had the honor of walking daily with him, from those who witnessed every aspect of his life here. However today I am seeing his life through a mother's eyes....... Mary's eyes..... As a mom myself, I can feel her joy when she looked into the eyes of her precious son. The miracle that she had been chosen to give birth to. That sweet precious baby boy that sometimes would fall down while playing, the one that cried out to her to pick him up..... Can you imagine looking into those beautiful eyes knowing wh...

Holding On To Hope

Proverbs 13:12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. Hope is a feeling of expectancy with the belief of grand things to come. It is a corner stone in order to stay grounded in times of struggle, knowing that this too shall pass. It is a map with directions to reach breakthroughs. This is my definition of hope. I literally cling to hope just as a small child clings to his mothers leg. To give you a visual close your eyes and picture a child with their arms and legs wrapped around their mothers leg as she attempts to walk across the floor. Can you see her dragging her leg with her child basically sitting on her foot? That is me and hope. I cling to her and sit on her foot with all my limbs clutching around her. However there have been times I did not do such a good job of holding on to hope. Times when I haven fallen and have had to crawl my way back to her digging in with all that...

Discourage by Brenda Yoder

{Dis} courage Does it feel like sometimes there's a big, thick wall surrounding you, isolating you from all that is good on the other side? I call this wall discouragement. I don't like it. Are you discouraged? What are the bricks in the wall surrounding you today? In discouraging moments, it seems like God is far, far away. Far away on the other side of the wall. No matter how you cry, scream or wail, it's though He doesn't hear. There's silence. That's where the discouragement lies - in the silence. I've been surrounded by a silence lately in the midst of noise . Can you relate? The world is SO noisy yet what I long to hear most from is my heavenly Father. I need encouragement. Do you need encouragement? I was blessed by a blogging friend as I read her post of discouragement ( read it here) today. I've been blessed by the faith of friends who are fighting for the life of their child. P...
