♕ Today's Promise: "Therefore the Lord longs to be gracious to you, and therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you. For the Lord is a God of justice; How blessed are those who long for Him" Isaiah 30:18.

Dear Brides, you are missing out on a beautiful relationship with the Lord running after what you think you need.
I have learned that you can't be in halfway. When you do choose the Kingdom of God, then you have got to take Him at His Word and completely put your trust in Him. Many of us call ourselves Christ followers, yet we will not obey His Word. I believe that one of the reasons we continue to long after our EH (earthly husband) is because for a while we found our security there. Let me remind you ladies that it was all superficial, it came with heartache and losing identity. True love and security can only be found in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Let's turn to our loving Lord, He will provide true safety and security which we will not have fear of one day losing.
I was afraid of waiting for a God who would not respond. I guess when what you once held falls apart, there's an aspect of you that questions everything including the God you worship.
Ladies, I want to tell you that this God we pray to, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Creator of heaven and earth is real. He hears and He answers.
I had been asking Him to give me a sign just so I know that He has got my situation. After a three day fast two weeks ago, He responded while I was asleep. He spoke to me at night and a still voice told me to write it down lest I forget when morning comes. When morning came I read what I had written and His answer was right there. He said "You don't have to see in order to believe" and "you are missing out on a beautiful relationship with the Lord running after what you think you want".
I'm still amazed at how God loves us so dearly that He would come to my level and speak to me. Ladies, God is so good. Let's continue seeking Him and rest assured, He will show up. He sees you and He hears you.
I have learned that He is my source. Whenever I need ideas for a project, I ask Him before discussions with other people so that I can differentiate between God's voice and other voices. I have liked the way Michelle in this course asked the Lord to assist her even in decluttering her home. It got me thinking that I ought to invite Him in every area of my life even the ones I think are trivial.
Dear Brides, be encouraged. The Lord loves you with an everlasting love and is waiting on high to have compassion on you. Make a decision today to seek His face and to long only for Him.
"Therefore the Lord longs to be gracious to you, and therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you. For the Lord is a God of justice; How blessed are those who long for Him" Isaiah 30:18.
I'm amazed at how much the Lord loves us. He won't give up on us no matter what. He is waiting patiently for us to choose Him and He will move on our behalf. He is merciful, He will crown you with His love and compassion and grant you justice.
