Love Others How They Want To Be Loved

Love others how they want to be loved, not how you want to be loved. Many present day relationships come to an end as fast as they came to be. In the end, it seems as if someone is always pointing the blame in the opposite direction. Although he/she may have been wrong, have you thought about the effort that you put in to love that person as they wanted to be loved?

We can be so selfish at times with our partner; majority of the time, not even realizing it. It’s only natural to have an expectation of love we receive with the same love that we give. For example, one may consider being left alone and given space when upset a form of love from their partner, while the other may want to be coddled when hurting. It’s so important to understand each other’s love language. Then you all can grow and teach each other, instead of rip each other apart from simple misunderstandings.

Take the time to truly get to know each other and challenge each other to love the other how they want to be loved, not how you want to be loved. After all, isn't love all enduring? Love cannot blossom to its full potential until it’s nurtured.

Who Lied To You?

Who lied to you and told you that you had to be perfect to come to God?

A friend of mine once said "I am not ready because I'm not ready to live my life like that."

Like what?

There's this strong misconception that one has to COME cleansed but that is an upright LIE! The Lord says "come as you are!"

Allow me to tell yall what that means.

That means broken, broke, abused, addicted, boisterous, cunning, deceiving, fraudulent, hopeless, insecure, jacked up, killer, sinner, lustful, knocked up, liar, hurt, used, bruised, backslider, opportunist, drug dealer, prostitute, and everything in between.

You come willing and He will do the rest. Know that it's going to take work, and a surpassing faith but He will bring comfort, peace, healing and restoration to every area of your life and the lives of your family if you trust Him enough to say "I can't do this without You" and then obey.

What are you waiting for? There's no mess too big or no heart too broken for God.

It's not a sprint. It's a marathon. Keep Going!

Who Will Watch The Watchers Themselves?

It seems as if contemporary society is more corrupt than ever. America somehow views apparel changes as an allowance for swap of morals and location adjustments as the dismissal of principles as well. Bosses encourage manipulation, leaders aren't practicing what they are preaching, authorities are taking advantage, and babies are having babies.

This type of corruption or mislead behavior is nothing new to American culture, much less the world, but what has me in utter is AWE is that it's almost becoming acceptable. Its as if many are in an abusive relationship and have become complacent. We've allowed the statistics; the media, the world truly get to our heads and beat our faith down.

#LetsKeepItAuthentic

It's not okay to lie, cheat or steal to get what you want as it is not okay to manipulate, take advantage of, or JUST 'look out' for your own 'team'. What seems to be happening more than ever is the free pass and go system to the people within your circle. The watchers are watching you but more than ever not checking their own behavior.

2 Peter 2:19
'They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved.

Is it money? Is it placement? Titles? Awards? Is it recognition? Is it out of 'necessity'? Is it the status quo?
Is it wrong?

 

Yes, it is. 

I know Who is watching the watchers. Do you?
