♕ Today's Promise: ”There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.” 1 John 4:18
I would like to share how my HH (Heavenly Husband) helped me last night to let go of my fear and move forward in love, peace and joy.
To give you some info, I received an email from my EH (earthly husband) saying he wants to proceed with divorce. I replied kindly and told him I understood and that I was not planning on hiring an attorney, that I will not be contesting the divorce. He didn't reply back.
I received an email from him last night, he said he is coming to town and he wanted to know if I will be here. To be honest my whole body got tense, worry and stress came over me and I could feel it in my whole body. My mind started to race thinking all the possible things that could happen, good and bad.
My second thought was, I need to pray and worship, I need to pray that good things are going to happen and I noticed I started focusing on praying for my EH. As I was worshiping I was asking the Lord to guide me.
My Beloved started to shift my focus off of my EH (earthly husband) towards Him and myself. My worship changed and I started to thank my beloved HH (Heavenly Husband) for transforming the way I was feeling in the moment and healing me from any stress, worry and anxiety. I put on my headphones and my God's love songs playlist and started to feel His love for me, His healing, His power, His protection, His mercy, His unconditional love and all the anxiety and stress went away. I could feel Him close, giving me hugs and just help me to forget about the email. I felt He was pouring His love over me and I let Him do it, and I received it all.
As I am typing I don't have words to describe how amazing this experience was! In other times this would prevent me from falling asleep and my mind will just be racing. This time my Beloved was so good to me, we sang together for hours until I fall asleep. I slept the whole night like a baby.
When I started to have this time with my Beloved my thought was I need to double my efforts in praying to win this battle thinking on my EH (earthly husband). But thank God He helped me to change my focus and helped me understand that I need to enjoy this time I have until the end of the month to yes double my efforts in praying to win the battle but this battle is so I can win in focusing more on my Beloved and not my EH. I have told my HH (Heavenly Husband) he is all I want and all I need.
Also previously I would've called my sister, my friend and a couple of "counselors" in fear, in desperation to get an answer as to what to do, what to expect, what is he thinking. I didn't do it this time, I put a bind to my flesh and I ran to my Beloved and just poured deeply in love till I went to bed! I don't feel anxious as to what will happen, I am praising my Beloved that He has filled me with wisdom, love, forgiveness, kindness and He will always teach me better ways.
Thank you my beloved! you have made all things new in my life! I love you more and more every day!
Dear Bride, I know it can be stressful and you can get anxious as things happen in your life, it took me a few minutes but there is nothing better than to thank our HH for his unconditional and unfailing love for us. There is nothing better than that! He will take the fear in you and fill you with love and peace instead that surpasses understanding (you won't have words to describe how you feel and the way you think and understand the situation from that point of view, with the Lord next to you).
”There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.” 1 John 4:18
Our Beloved longs to be gracious to us, and when He is the first one we run to, He pours His love over us and He promises that HIS PERFECT LOVE will drive out the fear. So let's run to HIM, He is the only one who can transform any situation in our lives for good!
