Love Her

For a long time, she could not stop the suffering.
Every day was an endless cycle of pain, abuse and betrayal.
But she pushed through and survived.
Now, She was finally ready to move on with life, and she couldn’t.

Let go of it all, so you can truly be free.

"Let Go? How?"

Love.

“I love my family, I love my friends”
She thought she was on track until He said,

Love her.

“Loving some people is easy, but not all, and definitely not her”
“I can’t love her”
“I never can, and I never will”
“Not with all she’s done to me”

She had read 1 Corinthians 13 countless times.
She even spoke to people about it all the time
But It was easier said than done.

Forgive her

Hatred for that person had become a part of her.
So much that she didn’t know it was a problem.
It had consumed her, stolen her peace and delayed her progress.

While you were a sinner, I loved you.

You are God, it's surely easier for you.

He laughed heartily

When I came to the world as a man, do you think I was locked up in a cave somewhere?

I went through all the pains and temptations you now go through but regardless of it all, I still loved the world. That's why I died for the salvation of all.

Everyday, My children sin and betray me but love was a choice I made, and I will never go back on that.

“Lord, It’s not easy to love her. You know it’s not easy. ”

Of course I know, but you say you love me.

“Yes Lord, I do.”

Then, you can love her.

“It's not the same Lord. You are good, You are loving, You are majestic. She's...”

She's my child also. How can you say you love me when you don't love the ones I love.

“Lord, It would be so hard. I can't do this on my own.”

I know you can't. That's why I will help you.

I have a big plan for you. I want to make you prosper. Not only that, but I want to do many things through you, and you'll need to be light.

Drop all your emotional baggage so that I can raise you to where you're supposed to be.
