We all want to feel safe and secure. The irony is that the more you love and are loved, the safer you will feel. The catch is that faithful love is the most difficult way to love, but it is what is required to feel safe and secure in life. It is choosing to love despite how your feel. It is choosing to love when things appear off or unsettling. It is not always easy. That is the way God loves you, so He can show you how to love.
The more you realize how much God loves you, the more you can find joy in your heart even in the hard times. He loves each of us despite all of our flaws. Most of what we consider flaws are the little details that He made and loves the most. He even loves us when we choose sin over Him, but since He can't be in the presence of sin, His has to wait until we repent to restore a closeness. It takes wisdom to see that reality. Not everyone will see this truth.
Faithful love starts with putting God first everyday and spending time with Him throughout the day. The joy of that love will give your life purpose even if other relationships are proving to be difficult, your job is mundane or unfulfilling, fighting an illness, or anything else that may distract you from Him. His love is faithful and profound. It fills in all the gaps or holes in your life if you let Him.
Evil can not triumph over love. It is the most powerful tool you have in your life. The thing is that it can be the hardest to learn how to use. It takes intentional practice. It is like a muscle that has to be worked daily. There are no off days. When you build it, it reveals all sorts of things in life. It makes your life flourish and the world around you benefits too. It is the foundation to fight the wickedness of the world.
Psalms 92
