Relationships
We as human beings we have a hard time with not being loved or accepted by certain people in our lives or that comes and go. But we have to ask ourselves this question, why are you disturbed oh my soul, even Yeshua, Jesus as perfect as He was, not everyone loved and accepted Him; to make it even worse than most of us, He was killed by those He loved; so why are you disturbed oh my soul? Yeshua knew this pain that everyone knows, there is nobody that is loved by everybody. But take heart, Psalm 31:24 says
”Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.” We have a whole big God, Father, Son & Holy Spirit that loves us; and we should love others no matter their heart conditions and actions towards us; because we have been given enough love to share without asking for anything back. Yeshua Himself is our comfort and blessing, who willingly floods us with blessings, gifts and keeps us covered in his passionate unyielding and indestructible love. Know that you are not alone. We will all be alright no matter who loves us or doesn’t; what matters is to be our best to God, others and definitely to ourselves too; we must take good care of ourselves, persevering and rejoicing in God’s grace and love; feeling his warmth, presence and comfort where we been hurt or exchanged pain with others. Hold on, and “be of good courage”! Healing of some relationships might occur and some others are just a let go and let God, whatever it is; don’t give up on forgiveness and love (give without expectations); so your heart and soul can rejoice and praise the Lord feeling lighter as Yeshua who loves all carries all our burdens to the end into eternity!
1 Corinthians 13 contains my favorite verses about love; but one thing that my best-friend, sister in Christ said to me was, that love is not just the love we give to others, but the love that we must give ourselves when we love others. Your actions towards your self-care are vital and important to God; you are his temple no matter how favorable or not you might seem to others out there or even at home; you must love yourself; the relations you have between yourself with yourself and with God must anchor you so you can be like Yeshua, have unconditional love for people. Most people that don’t know or love back, are people that are hurting; people that need to heal of things and love God and themselves first too. Your love must remain anchored by the power of Yeshua who loved even to the point of death, enough to resurrect up again for our sakes; so that he can destroy all evil and divisions forever when His kingdom comes; for He is the ruler and Lord of the universe and all galaxies - skies, and all creatures, lands and waters. Let me tell you that love hurts, Mother Theresa said something about that I read; but that is pain that is worth having, because love heals; Love is what God calls Himself; and it is Him in us who is love. No matter how relationships are with people in the home, outside, or anywhere, your love for people is not in vain; whether or not things are resolved; not all will always be resolved on earth, so we must persevere and remain in love, this beauty that is God himself manifested in us. Yeshua will never leave us nor forsake us, we must not leave Him, but dwell in Him and His love and warmth will comfort our bleeding hearts and wipe away all our tears; for it is written that there is no sorrow, pain or suffering in heaven. You are not insignificant, no matter how small or large the office(s) you hold or if lack of anything, whether the greatest, average or secret sinner, young or old, or if Messianic, Jew or Non-Jew; Christian or not, you are loved by the King of Kings dear one of God; created after God’s own image. The bible is full of God’s conversions of love for His sinful rebellious people; yes, that is how much He loves us, unconditionally - God’s love for us is Agape indeed!
