Hello LOVElies,
Yes, we all know it is the month for love and I’m fully aware that we have Valentine’s messages coming at us from all directions. Does it make you want to puke already? Well, be relieved– I am not going to talk about chocolates, lingerie or roses. Usually my posts are colorful and whimsical. Sorry, there’s no red or pink in today’s post. I’m giving it to you straight and would rather share the simple but PROFOUND truth about love. By now, if you have been following my blog for a while you know I have a strong faith in God and because of all the obstacles I’ve faced in life, I have had to work HARD on my “love walk”. I admit I had become cynical toward love and it’s taken a while for my heart to soften. Now it’s like puddy.
I have had a long journey to trusting and loving others. This is where I have to give mad props to my hubby for being an example of love and humility every single day. We just celebrated our 9 year wedding anniversary on the 11th and I’m not sure if I would fully understand the purity of love if it wasn’t for him. That man has put up with my walls, my anger and my issues. He just kept loving me through it all. See, I allowed the wrong men in my life for years and with all the baggage I carried including ‘daddy issues’– I don’t think I truly understood real love until I found God. Then, God brought my hubby and I was officially on the Love Train.. woo hoo! So– if you have a problem with the Bible, go ahead and log off this blog post now. BUT, I would hope you would open your heart because I believe the Bible to be the very best ‘self-help’ book on the planet. 1 Corinthians 13 is known as the “Love Chapter” and it’s the greatest reminder of how we should all live our lives…….and not just on Valentine’s Day.
Do you love others easily?
What about the very difficult, high maintenance people?
Do you allow your ego to take over and judge others instead of showing love?
When we focus on coming from a place of love- AT ALL TIMES- instead of allowing our ego to take over, we remain in peace and peace is a place of power! Many issues, squabbles and stupid altercations come from allowing our ego to rule over us. I have to read 1 Corinthians 13 on weekly basis to keep myself in-check.
SANCTUARY OF STYLE 
Been wondering if you are one of us. So glad to meet another blog sister in the faith. My love walk is a lot like yours and I’m in a good place now where love can flourish. Isn’t it great to be rescued and loved, loved, loved?
AMEN! It is truly wonderful and life-changing. Thanks for you heart and for being part of the SOS sisterhood!
Happy 9th Anniversary and I so can relate me too have let the wrong men into my life and there is something about the peace when you find God! Wishing you many wonderful blessing ❤
Wishing God’s blessings on your anniversary. 1Corinthians 13 is one of my favorite chapters. Our God is so loving and forgiving. A girl at my church spoke of peeling back the layers of pain she had been through. She said she is now free from all the hurt and baggage. She thanks her husband for sticking with her and helping her find God’s everlasting love and forgiveness..
Beautiful and inspiring… Happy Valentines Day to you!
