Love , relationship and God ๐
Hi beautiful strangers ,
So how have you guys been ?? I am on a real mission nowadays about which I'll reveal to you all later on . By God's grace that works out. So guys what's your take on love as a Christian or a non Christian?
You know my blog is a place where anyone's opinion matters. So please do tell me ? Because I am actually going to tell you all about mine.
So growing up , I had no idea about what love was. I used to be addicted to TV , watching all sorts or drama and movies. And that on screen live was the only thing that my tiny mind could ever see. Then I remember when I was 4 or 5, it was Good Friday , and I was just crying and crying because Jesus died. And I still can remember feeling really bad , without even knowing why or anything... Again as I grew up , I moved to stay with my parents and there I met Disney channel and again my perspective on love changed. Then I thought love is something so unique , and magical. And a prince will surely come one day for me too. But sadly ๐๐๐ that day never came... While writing this I was singing this song at the back of my head I don't wanna be a Cinderella ,... Waiting for somebody to come and set me free... , I don't really remember if this was a cheetah girls song or something else. But ๐ธ๐ธ.
Then again years went by and I locked my heart with many many walls , as I saw relationships around me breaking apart. Even marriages were total failure for many I knew , and I just lost all hope at love...so all this time I was having this premonition of a boy - girl relationship as the main love concept. Little did I know I was so so wrong.
Then I remember I stopped having these fantasies and then started dreaming about having a baby , yes that's right, this immature me had many thoughts of many weird things , but babies was always my number 1 priority. So I thought, maybe I can adopt a baby later on , you know , once I finish my studies and all. But I felt the community I'm part of is not a big fan of that, so have to be a society person. ๐ญ
Along the way I felt I was unlovable , and unworthy. I felt there is no way I can ever get my person. I am ugly and fat. That's what people around me said. And I believed all this ๐ฅ๐ฅ
I should have known better , but after all I was an Indian girl . And everyone expected me to be all skinny and pretty with long hair and good grades..hahahah. me poor me ๐ฌ๐ฌ. I had long hair. That's the only thing I had among all that , and then the biggest part was I became a very traditional person and then people used to think I was so old fashioned. I was just ๐ feeling all these emotions all the time.
Again , I was so far off from the real truth, thinking all these weird thoughts.
But right now , I know what love is ... I know what it means to feel loved. I know I am so beautiful and lovely because God created me in his own image and he has said through the Bible that he made me fearfully and wonderfully . And I'm so satisfied with how I look and feel because I know God made me like this for a reason. And that reason is really so beautiful. To glorify his mighty name.
So you will ask me What is Love according to Bible ๐?
So this is my response : Love is patient, love is kind, it is not envious. Love does not brag, it is not puffed up. It is not rude, it is not self-serving, it is not easily angered or resentful. It is not glad about injustice, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
1 Corinthians 13:4โญ-โฌ7 NET
Love is the most important of the gifts , love is the base for everything. There can't be anything without love .
I realised the whole truth about love , as I grew closer to God , and as I realised what my god had done for me , the way how he sent his only son to earth , to walk among us and then to die on the cross for my sins , to die a gruesome death for me and you . Even without me ever asking anything , my god really is enough for me , his grace is sufficient for me. ๐๐ Because he did everything for me , he still does everything for me , without ever thinking if I'm half as faithful to him as him to me. He never leaves me nor forsakes me. He is my core foundation , well I'm still working really hard on my foundation. I'm still not there yet. May God help everyone who is trying to build this strong foundation, by the blood of Jesus.
So again next question would be,
What is a godly kind of a romantic relationship?
Haha , this is a very interesting question, to which the answer I feel is this.
It is a kind of relationship where both the partners restrain from doing many things that normal couple's do ! There main concern would be god and how God would want their relationship to be. So they would maybe maximize their time for God and again for activities which are really not bad. Because them too want to have a little bit fun right. But , they would make sure they would save themselves for marriage rather than let their emotions get the best of any situation. ๐๐
And offcourse their main base should be God , honesty , love , humbleness , kindness...etc
Being considerate plays a very important role in a relationship. And taking care of each other through thick and thin.
This is what I just think , I'm not ๐ฏ sure about this one right now , but if you guys want more if this , I can do research for you guys. And bring real evidence and stuff ๐๐
But I feel what really matters in any relationship is love. So let's try to be good to each other. Let's try to love one another as Christ has loved us. !!
Hi sweetheart, I love your drawing and what you said in this post! Your amazing, youโve been blessed by God to understand that all He wants from you right now is to focus on Him, to deeply love Him by sharing the gospel, sharing your thoughts on Steemit, speaking the truth giving your testimony, expressing the pain youโve been through, and how God has pulled you out of it. And giving hope to others friend while God works through you. What a miracle to see @ashley4u, Iโm so proud of you, your attitude is delightful. You have found your true love, my true love, our love above all loves, our father and creator. And Ashley, my amazing husband and I have been married almost 40 years now, do you want to know what our secret is for lifelong companionship, itโs simple... respect, kind words, forgiveness, thankfulness, love thy neighbor as thyself. We treat each other, like we would want to be treated, It works and thatโs it. What Jesus said about how to Love is perfect. God will bless you with a loving Christian man someday my darling, be patient itโs part of loving Him right? Love is patient, He will provide you with a lifelong companion, but on His time. I believe He wants all your focus on Him, Heโs got big plans for you dear sister. Blessings โฃ๏ธ

I'm missed you so much sis... ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ You are the reason I'm in this beautiful relationship with God...I feel .. because I remember you telling me to start drawing for Christ ๐๐ and I did... And then again one thing led to another ..and hahaha now ๐๐
Thanks sis and brother for your love and support for me ..I love you so much... God will bless you guys so so so so much ๐๐
Oh little sister Ashley, God has blessed Rick and I more than you can possibly imagine in your wildest dreams. More than we deserve. My relationship with God is โROCK SOLIDโ sis, I CAN SAY THAT WITH UTTER CONFIDENCE, BECAUSE GOD HAS PUT ME THROUGH THE TEST, AND IT HASโNT ALWAYS BEEN EASY! I have become a brand new creation , I am regenerated into a being that believes in the miracles of our beloved father. I have had much pain in the whole process of knowing God , and praying to be more like Jesus everyday. Thereโs always room for improvement, I know Iโll never be perfect her on earth like Jesus, but I can certainly become a better loving person! I can repent for my unholy thoughts when they arise, like when someone ticks me off, and itโs hard to get passed it, I ask God to forgive me, and I pray for the person Who made me mad, I pray that they may be saved through Jesus. I know that I am forgiven, it is done, and I can move on then, and if He can forgive me, I can forgive myself, because itโs right says the Lorrdโฃ๏ธI now work with Him as one, every second of my day, and think about Him and His needs constantly. He moves me, if He needs to work through me, Iโve learned to be patient with that. Iโve learned to not push what I want to do, I allow Him to be in charge and posses me. He has shown me, it is Him, not the devil. He has shown me miracles only God would only be able to know how to do. Iโve witnessed His voice speaking to others through me many many times. Iโm a doorway for Him to bless others. I have lovely friends that He has blessed also that he works through in the same way. You can not fear that He may take you into situations that may be at first, uncomfortable for you. Because if you give Him a chance to work through you, He can save, and heal. It does take a little courage to step out of your comfort zone, but it gets easier and easier to do as time passes, then after the fear is gone, wow itโs a blast, and Father is so happy ๐. And thatโs the most important thing in my life is to make my Daddy happy. You start building an incredible relationship with God, and you will find you will have know fears at all. And most of all, you wonโt fear what others think about you, because you only care about what God thinks about you. Worries will turn to dust, and you will rejoice in everyday, waking up every morning feeling good because you know your fathers with you, and you rejoice and praise the Lord. And you know what, theyโre will be a mighty change in you, and people will want to know why are you filled with such joy each and every day, what is your secret, and you can tell them, I am blessed by my Savior Jesus Christ because.............. fill in the blanks. Itโs awsome, just think no more tears of pain friend, only tears of joy! I pray for you and all others, that you will have this incredible gift like Iโve been blessed to receive like God has given me. Put down your net, and follow Him, continue to seek Him through the word, and never stop giving yourself to Him, you are his bride ! Pray to God for the Devil to be cast away from your mind, because the devil may tempt you to be evil to others, and if you do it he wins. Pray for the armor of God to protect you and evil spirits will flee. Stand strong in the faith soldier of love Remember God is with you always โฃ๏ธBye๐๐๐โ๐ฟ
Thank you my dear sis... Yes I'm also experiencing God's emmense love..I can feel his presence every day now .and that's so amazing..I never knew it was going to be like this... But now I can't go without hearing him... I just can't... My day now begins with him , continues with him and ends with him... I had this one big thought on my mind..and I feel god was talking through you ๐ฏ to me to say that , I don't ever have to worry about anything, but just pray about it , and God of victory will make it happen if it's meant to be happening and again..for me to pray against the devil and his ways...because I know devil is constantly on the move to destroy , steal and kill...and I feel I should pray more and more against him such that , he shouldn't even dare to look at me or my family... Or even my friends.. I know how much amazing god love is now.. god got rid of my so called anxiety , my depression , my many bad habits.. my constant worry for my family and everything bad that's been happening, he gave me ultimate peace.. thank you sis ๐๐๐

Oh dear little sister this is wonderful news, Iโve witnessed a miracle in you! You have become new creation. When that happened to me a few years ago, I have loved People, and all Godโs creations, more and more deeply every sense. A river of continuous love floods my soul and through all my senses. In the Bible it talks about it. You have just begun another journey my friend, to be blessed to see the walking dead all over the world, you will see lost, Week, souls, that are like zombies, that are just breathing and going through the motions of everyday living in de spare and sadness. Youโll really start feeling sympathy for everyone who doesnโt know God like you do. You will cry for the people who should know that they have a Daddy that loves them. You want to help God save there souls even the ones who have hurt and persecuted you. Sounds like Jesus doesnโt itโฃ๏ธThatโs the kind of love that he had, even on the cross. Your love will grow deeper for the FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT, with each passing day, because God will touch your soul to feel that that kind of love that only God can produce inside your mind. When he works through you, it will give you so much joy. Always remember, give all the glory to God, stay humble dear. It is Godโs work through youโฃ๏ธ

HA HA ! I didnโt think you knew that, I talk about you all the time. So we have together witnessed a miracle in you which is โChrist with you,โ your regenerated heart and soul, the old Ashley leaving, your mind being transformed, reborn into a new creation. Itโs the most exciting thing in the world, to see dear friend, a lost sole coming to know, trust, love, having deep faith in Jesus Christ, committed to give their lives, as a living sacrifice, someone so devoted to the Lord, that they will give up there time on earth, so that God can use there flesh to touch others and save there souls. To want to become more like Jesus. Becoming a person who loves the Lord so deeply, is a priceless gift from God Ashley, that only God can bestow upon someone. Rick and I have witnessed all this in each other, Godโs saving grace, oh how magnificent it is !!! Itโs such an incredible miracle to feel within yourself, this deep commitment to honor your father, to want to please Him in every way, because you love Him so, and to except all that He has given you, and to watch this gift given to others, and knowing you where a part of it. What an incredible rejoicing feeling, to hard to describe. The more God works through you to save, sometimes slowly, the happier you will become, it gives you true purpose. And you know what, becoming a doctor, and working with sick, perhaps dying people, what a great person to choose to work through Ashley. I believe He will heal many people, through your God given talents, like your artwork, writings, and profession. Not only healing wounds of there flesh, but also wounds of there souls. As Iโve said Godโs got great plans for you dear! Canโt wait to see it! Keep spreading the love and worshiping God bless you dear โฃ๏ธ
