Do you Really Love Him?

by

God loves us so much..
He proved his love on the Cross.
We say we love God all the time..
Do you really?

What have you done to show God you love him.
I am not talking about trying to please God with works
cos you can’t..
All I am saying is love is an action word.
Have you shown God you love him lately?
Does your actions show your love for God or love for yourself?

If you’re in a relationship and your partner tells you he/she loves you without ever proving it. Would you believe them?
Probably not..
It’s the same thing with our relationship with God.
We have to let our actions match our words.
Of course, God sees your heart but actions still speak louder.

Cultivating this mindset will help us make our relationship with God a top priority.

God's love“U hurt me I still love you, you don’t want me I am still interested in you, u hit me I smile at you.
I will still do more because that is what true love is all about.”-James Ogbor

I like this quote cos it captures what we do to God everyday but he still loves us.
God loves us so much.

I can’t fully comprehend God’s love,
so I can’t fully explain the magnitude of his Love.

Bible says, “Even when we were yet sinners, Christ still died for us”-Romans 5:8
No Greater Love.

God is the creator of Love.
God is Love-1 John 4:8

We hurt him everyday, yet he still loves us.
How Great is Our God!!!

Is this love?

Have you ever wondered why you love your family no matter how crazy they act?
For most of us, there’s nothing our family members can do to completely change how we feel about them.
God’s love as we know is a gift.
God’s love is unconditional, perfect and pure.

As you know in life there are some ppl no matter what you do will never like you.
However, they are ppl on the other hand that will love you unconditionally.
Well, how does a love like this come about??

I consider this kind of Love truly a gift from God.
This kind of love is seen in close friends, best friends..etc.

On the flip side, they are some people that deliberately hate us for one reason or the other.
I have discovered that changing yourself to get these ppl to like you is pointless.
Most of the time, these ppl have subconsciously made that choice to hate.
We can’t change anybody, no matter how hard you try, you just can’t.

At the end of the day, Love/Hate is a choice.
Some ppl will chose to love u unconditionally: That’s a gift from God.
Some ppl will chose to hate u unconditionally: Be aware there’s nothing you can do to change this cos you can’t change ppl.

All you can do is to love yourself unconditionally.
Accept the fact that God loves u unconditionally.
Until we grasp this concept, we will still be chasing after the wind.

Again, you can’t get anyone to love u.
If you try and you succeed, you will find out that the love is not real.
If ppl that used to love u eventually hate you?
They didn’t love you in the first place.
Cos true love is unconditional..
Just as the word says without conditions.

The ability to love and be loved unconditionally is a mystery.
So when someone chooses to love you unconditionally,
Don’t forget to thank God for his gift!!

Love is a gift,
Love/Hate is a choice.

“Every good and perfect gift comes from above”-James 1:17

Red flags he is not into you..

Guys are simple yet complex..
If he is not into you:

1. He wouldn’t initiate contact (calling, texting, emailing or taking time to see you). That’s the big one. This is a huge red flag that this guy is not into you. No matter how busy, if he likes you..he will make time for you.
2. He ignores your calls, texts, messages, etc..

This is not a long list but if this two things happen; forget it.. He is not into you.
Best thing to do:
1. Don’t msg, text or call (this only makes you look desperate)..
2. Move on, God has someone better.
3. Take this time to love yourself. Loving yourself is the first step to true love..

LoVe and BeaUty

by

Love has nothing to do with looks..
Let’s think..
Most guys and girls even in the Christian community,
treat the search of love as a beauty contest.
For guys, the hottest girl they can get win their love.
For girls, the hottest guy that come along win their heart.

The argument is be both sided..

Nobody wants to marry someone who in their eyes is not attractive,
Yet, nobody wants to be liked just because of their looks cos it fades.

What can we do?

As a girl, do I give every guy that is interested in me a chance
in search of their character? or turn them down cos am not attracted to them?

As a Christian girl, chasing God with my whole heart should be my first priority until my man comes.

What if God’s will comes in the form of someone we are not attracted to?

How are we suppose to overlook this superficial dilemma?

As a man, Prov. 31 should be your guide in the search for your bride.

How can you overlook beauty to character?

Honestly, I don’t want to turn God’s will down.
I think buying into the world’s form of beauty has clouded
our vision to how God really sees beauty.

1 Sam 16:7 -But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height,
for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”

God looks at the inside to determine beauty.
We should care more about the inside of the person.
The outward matters too but in time,
it will fade.

Charm is deceitful and beauty fades,
But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised-Prov 31:30

I really like to hear what you have to share on this topic, pls support your response with a bible verse.

Words to Men cont.

By: Caleb Jones

When I became a man
I put away childish things
But before I became a man
I didn’t always fit the shoes of a King
I was a child trying to find his way
The toys I played with kept my eyes occupied
And left my eyes in a lustful boyish frenzy
My playmates had long legs, short skirts and soft skin
They cared enough to lie down and wallow with me often
Jezebel turned out to be my very best friend
I’d look in her eyes before ever seeing the sunrise
Every time I paid her a visit and slept in

Before I became a man
I saw how God made Adam from dust
So likewise I tried to make love out of lust
I didn’t know any better
I was taught by example
“Let your mouth spit game, but never let your heart say much, ”
I treated his daughters like beauty pageant contestants
There would be zero return on their investments
Proverbs 31 was never a criterion for my selection
Mind you, this was before I became a man.

This was about the time
that I took notes from a father figure
who really didn’t know how to be a father, go figure.
About the time that mum was a punching bag
because he was too afraid to take his frustration
out of on the world instead,
by simply enduring affliction,
yet during addiction,
he could go twelve rounds against the violent screams
of “Stop, Stop”

He was undefeated, he always won.
And I would stand in plane sight,
hoping that daddy sees,
Cos all I could say at the time was “daddy, please”
Mum didn’t deserve what she got
just because she didn’t satisfy daddy’s needs.

Before I became a man
I would unlock my daddy’s curse and free myself throw away the daddy’s key
I allowed anger to set up a construction company inside
Bitterness never rested
It left no time wasted
Whether Father loved me or not
All I could regurgitate was hatred
I became allergic to showing any form of compassion

Before I became a man
I was much shorter
Not just in height but in spiritual insight
Because I never had a picture
Nor did Pixar ever have a film
Showing me what God’s man really looked like

But when I became man
Oh, When I became a man
I learned how to love Father God right back
Even though I’m good at falling short of the glory
I reflect on my story
Through my praise I’ll self publish a testimony

When I became a man
I learned how to cry
Because I’m not ashamed of my tears
Either will my fears
muffle the groaning in my spirit.

Since I became a man
I’m not longer afraid of the dark
I’ll wrap my hands around James 5: 16
Confess, Pray, and Heal my Heart

I have discovered something
That there are medicinal qualities
Right down the corridor of introspection
When I became a man
I learned how to love her
My Esther, My Ruth
I learned how to honor her like she was Jesus’ mother
Because one day she’ll be pregnant
With the seed that will transport my legacy
So that my God and my name will both have longevity
Even after they bury me

I could not love her before
Because I was not able
My insecurities and my perfectionism had me
Looking in on the next best player
That was checking in at the scorer’s table
How could I possibly be her covering?
When I was an umbrella with holes in it
But I learned to love her like I ought to
Because I want Him to be my Father and my Father-in-law
Since that’s his daughter

When I became a man
I learned to love my brother
I’ll share my heart, my hug and my hallelujah
Because a hug and a hallelujah without my heart
Leaves room for his spirit to respond with “I never knew you”
I became a man so that when he became a man
He would know a man
Who picked up the gospel and put the toys away

To my better half..

To the world, I may not be the most beautiful woman.
In your eyes, am the most beautiful woman in the world.
I don’t have to become anyone else,
You like me just the way I am.

Changing myself would be a crime to you.
I am perfect regardless of my flaws.
You appreciate everything about me.

I know your love for me is real cos:
You don’t compare me with others.
You like me for my flaws and appreciate
the good.
You fight for my heart.
Your words match your actions.

I know our love is for real
cos you’d not just go to the ends of
the world for me,
You’d will fight the world for me.

Our love is real cos it is centered
around our heavenly father,
on how to love him and live to bring him
glory.

You’re different,
You’re worth it.
Waiting for u might be pain,
it can’t be compared to a lifetime
with u, babe!
I will wait for u!

James 1:17
Till you come,
God first!

Missing Piece..

God gave Adam his missing rid by giving him Eve. Subconsciously, we are still looking for that missing some(thing, one) attribute currently absent in our lives. Anything, anyone lacks, they search for it externally. If a girl doesn’t feel pretty(internally), she searches for attention and affirmation from guys to feel beautiful(externally). Somehow, we believe that finding external gratification will appease the emptiness on the inside. A guy feels hurt, rejected, torn and all sort of negative emotions(internally), he doesn’t know how to handle all those emotions at once, as a result, he drinks excessively to get to a state of euphoria, where forgets all his trouble, or he smokes all kinds of drugs to reach that elated state when all his troubles seems to disappear(externally). What about the guy that has been hurt so many times that he has closed his heart to love(internally), but seeks to get revenge for his emotional turmoil by breaking lots of girls hearts(externally). Let’s not forget the girl that feels worthless that she feels that she can buy his love, by giving up her value. Casting blaming on others for the current state of our lives is an external fix from an internal lack of responsibility.

Look into yourself are you using external factors to fix internal matters that only requires internal self-fix.  We leave in a microwave society,     Image where we sabotage our internal symptoms to use external things to try to fix internal matters. Don’t get me wrong, times will come where we need external therapies to help us internally. If you have a low self-esteem, getting attention from guys is only a temporary quick fix that wouldn’t completely eradicate this problem. Plus, different guys have their own preferences, no matter how fine you’re..Not every guy is going to physically attracted to you. You need to add more substance to your value. External therapies for self-esteem are definitely temporary. Until you esteemed yourself, no-one will esteem you. We project ourselves to others; afterwards, they echo back what we are saying to ourselves.  Build yourself from unconditional internal factors that no matter what ppl say, it wouldn’t change how you view yourself. First of all: You’re made in the image of Almighty God. Yes! You were creatively created. Of course, you’re fearfully and wonderfully made…There’s no better you than you. God created the best you! God has invested his incomprehensible knowledge in making you. Never question the way you look. God knew what he was doing when he created you. You’re not Ugly.. Stop saying or meditating on that.. Your man will love you just the way you’re. If you have to change for anyone then, they’re probably not for you. God’s love is unconditional. His sacrifice for us is the best example of true love. I tell others, if you don’t like me.. Pray for me, cos I wouldn’t change for you to like me..sry! There’s nothing selfish about true love. You don’t believe me, check out 1 Cor 13. (That’s another blog..watch out). Find your self worth from God’s unconditional love for you. Regardless, who rejects you, God will always accept and Love you no matter what. Build yourself in the fact that God LOVES YOU..

If you’re smoking your life away or drowning yourself in alcohol; look internally what is really going on? Until you’re honest with yourself, you will continue killing yourself in self-pity. Life is so fragile, we are not promised tomorrow. You want peace, find it within you. Yes, within you. In God! We were created by God. His hand prints is all over you, so reach out to God and you will find the peace you need within. No-one can give peace like God can.

More examples: if you don’t accept yourself, you will search for acceptance from other ppl. If You don’t love yourself, you search for love from others. You get the gist.

We all have that missing piece in our lives and we are searching for it, subconsciously or consciously, but nothing can fill that gap except God. In God, we find true satisfaction not derived from money, career, family, friends, traveling, name it..etc.

God created us so we you could find him. He is our missing piece!!
