Love. It is the greatest gift we are given and are able to receive. It holds so many emotions: happiness, peace, heartache, rejection, and even strength. How can one word, and one “emotion” hold so many possibilities?

When you truly love doing something you put your whole heart and soul into it because you the joy you feel encompasses every fiber of your body. If you’re blessed enough to find true love it changes your life because you share memories and words with someone you trust wholeheartedly. Witnessing your child being born and raising them throughout many milestones, opens your eyes to a new form of love so deep that you never knew you were capable of feeling. You see, Love truly is the greatest gift of all no matter what season or circumstance you encounter it in.

But what happens when that beautiful, warm, fulfilling love is taken from you or absent after you’ve harbored it for so many years? We feel broken. Questions surface forcing us to ask ourselves: what did I do wrong, am I not pretty anymore, should I have reached out, why now, am I enough, what changed? Millions of questions race around searching for an answer so we can “fix” what we think we broke. We long to be accepted, to experience different types of love across diverse relationships, and to be loved by those we love the most. The reality is Love is still there, because God never left you! God’s Love is the greatest, most fulfilling Love available on this Earth.

When Love is taken from you or not shown to you from those you care about the most, the pain can be extremely hard to accept. No one wants to feel unloved, empty from a loss of a loved one, or not good enough, but this is the time where we need to focus on God’s Love above all others. Sometimes we may realize that it might be time to let go of those who don’t value us anymore, step away from friendships that are only one sided and move on. Knowing you’re truly loved by God without expectations is what your heart should harbor and embrace daily. Remember, God created you for a purpose. People will come and go throughout your life, but knowing who you are and surrounding yourself with those people who truly value you and love you will allow you to grow as an individual, a friend, and follow in the path God has planned for you.

So, during your dark seasons of rejection, loss, emptiness, and confusion, seek God’s love above all others. In your seasons of bright, warm, and fulfilling emotions embrace the love you’re shown and blessed with. Focus your energy on those people in your life who truly reciprocate the love you show them back to you. God’s Love is unconditional. Therefore Love is the greatest gift of all. Cherish it, because you never know when you might lose it.

Praise God for today!!
It’s a beautiful day to wake up and see God!
