He calls me Beloved

deergoeshome:

The Devil tells me I’m ugly, because he is jealous that he wasn’t made in the image of God.

The Devil says I’m rejected, but only because God cast him out of heaven.

The Devil tells me that I’m unworthy, but only because he knows God values me over him.

The Devil says that I’m unlovable, but only because he knows that God loves me more than anything in the whole world.

The Devil tells me that I’ve messed up too much to be saved, but only because his mistakes cost him eternity.

The Devil says that I’m imperfect, because he wants me to forget that Christ died to make me pure.

So far we have seen Mercy, Grace, and Honor. Now we are going to step into Intimacy.

If you have ever read or heard Danny Silk talk about intimacy you have heard this catchy phrase “In-to-me-you-see.” And while Seeing into some ones life is a requirement to build intimacy with them, seeing some…

Too many of us spend our time memorizing Scriptures, using Jesus’ name, and claiming promises in an effort to get ahold of God’s power. Supernatural power has become the most desired commodity instead of love. But God never told us to seek His power. He told us to seek Him.

The Bible doesn’t say ‘God is power.’ It says God is love.

Here’s the truth: either we can have faith to access the power of God or we can have love and become the power of God. 

Faith is important, but faith without love is useless. 

…

A person may not be a Christian, but if she truly loves people, she has more of God’s power than a Christian who doesn’t love. Love is unstoppable. It topples everything in its path. And all of God’s power resides in your love for people. When you love someone, you’re literally putting the power of the universe inside your heart. Nothing can withstand it.

You are a man of character, and hold yourself to a higher standard. Your eyes are on God. Integrity and love is what you live by. It’s like second nature to you. There’s no thought put into doing what’s right. You are humble and always esteem others higher then yourself. You have a servant mentality and always have others best interest at heart. You are hilarious and never find it necessary to be so serious all the time. You are confident in Christ and know your royal call.  You are kind, not judgmental, and meek. The manner in which you love will reflect heavens heart. You will be ambitious and will bring the best out of me.

You are amazing to me. And I can’t wait to feel safe in your arms. I can’t wait to give you my love. 

Written by an anonymous guy:

You are a woman of beauty. You know who you are. You will not be defined by another man, or compromise your boundaries. You will not be pushed around, you will stand for purity. You refuse to give anyone your heart, you demand that they pursue it, and prove that they can protect it. You are secure in who you are, you don’t live off the praises of others. You know that you don’t need me, but you want me. You know how to nurture and protect. You are gentle, yet you can be bold. You are radical but relatable. You can fight alone, but would rather fight alongside me. You are full of emotions, but never bound by them. You are the standard of beauty in my life, and I will be your biggest encourager. I will believe in you more than you believe in yourself. I can’t wait to let down the walls of my heart and bare all I am to one.
