Day 189 – Let LOVE awaken lust, not LUST awaken love.
Today’s Reading: Song of Solomon 1 – 3
“I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles or the does of the field, that you not stir up or awaken love until it pleases.” Song of Solomon 2:7.
LOVE is such a flippant word. It’s thrown around all the time. I love my dog. I love you. I love Mellow Mushroom pretzels. I Love I love I love…..However, true love between a man and a woman is meant for 2 people that God will place together until only He calls them apart.
Many young women, including myself, in the early years, were out looking for Love. A lot like the song, “Looking for love in all the wrong places.” It sometimes seems women will do anything to hear those 3 words, “I love you.”
Girls, we will do just about anything to feel loved, and most Guys are willing to give love for one thing. BUT We ALL need to WAIT. Wait on the ONE person God has for us. Or be content with our singleness, which reveals more of God’s love to us.
He made Eve for Adam, and He’s makes someone for each person that is to have a partner. Young lady, if a boy really loves you he will be willing to wait. Young man, if you really love a woman, then wait.
Because I know without a doubt that our God is Sovereign, there isn’t much in my life that I would ever want to change, He’s used it all for my testimony of His Goodness. Yet, there is one thing that I would go back and change in a minute if I could. God planned all along for me to have my specific husband. He protects me from myself, He comforts me when I stress, He listens to me when I speak, and We grow closer together through God. My husband awakens my love to this day.
God was gracious to me by bringing him into my life at just the right time. I can’t go back and change my past, but I sure wish I could. And instead of worrying about that now, I’ve been forgiven and I’m focusing on my Love now. I will share myself with him alone.
For all of you who are still pure, I beg you, WAIT for love. For those of you who have made a decision that you now regret, ask for forgiveness and make it right now, WAIT for LOVE. For those of you who are now married to the one God had for you, but you live in regret of your past, if you ask for forgiveness and focus on Your Beloved, God will forgive you and cleanse you of the past. LOVE will Wait…Don’t let lust become a mistake.
