Irony of Affirmation

We can't truly love until we don't need it. We have to be not just full of love, but over flowing with Gods love. If we are not overflowing with love we will just need more and more of it to be satisfied. Which no human can ultimately satisfy. Only God can. Receive Gods love and pour out His overflow onto others.

Jesus died on the cross so that we don't have to need anyone to affirm us. The ultimate sacrifice. That's what love is anyways (if we are doing it Gods way). If we are not willing to sacrifice or risk then we are not ready to love. We have to be willing to take a risk that the love we give will not be reciprocated. Love and fear don't go hand in hand. We all fear and that won't change, but when we operate in love we do it despite the fear we may feel on the inside.


We have to get to the place where Gods love is enough and are content regardless of our circumstances. When we don't need the love of others that is when our "cup" will overflow with His love and we can finally pour out His love.


Have a great weekend!

Love,

Sweet Lady
