Certain things you will not do so you don’t hurt the person you are in love with, same should be with God, if you’re in love w/Him♥ We set the standard when we’re in love; there are things we will not allow in the relationship because we value connection with the one we love. If I want to honor God, then I will watch my actions, my speech, my thoughts etc. In relationship there is no end to the pursuit.With God, He will always be after our heart… and if we love Him… we are always after His ♥ [heart] We do all that we can to protect that connection because it’s important and means the world to us.

You  never stop pursuing the person you are in love… it’s un-natural. I love my dad, he loves me and EVERYDAY this man tells me he loves me… he says “good morning mija, I love you”...everyday, never fails. Many times he say’s “Mija, you look beautiful” or “you look gorgeous Mija”… he always asks how my day was and always says good night and that he loves me or he randomly just tells me “Mija!!” “yeah?”…” I love you!” … 🙂 This constant love for me has caused my heart to love him the same in return. If I don’t see him in the morning I text or call him to say good morning and that I love him… It’s natural now. I’m so used to it that I feel odd if I forget to tell him… My dad is after my heart, and what a beautiful representation that is of the Fathers heart for His kids. I see the way my dad loves me and is always there for me… any need I have had he has made himself available… God is so good. He is SO IN LOVE with us… that He DAILY is after our hearts ♥

keep the relationship with God strong, Love is ALIVE… don’t let your love for Him die. I remember my freshman year of high school I went to my first Winter Camp where Darwin Benjamin was the guest speaker. It was POWERFUL! I have never been to anything like this… where God’s presence was SO THICK, and where someone would call out things we were dealing with. How did he know I was struggling with Bulimia? Freaked me out! I had only been saved a few months… I remember hearing from God CLEARLY that night “If you don’t take me seriously, your friends never will”… I cried my eyes out because this was at a time where I had just been saved for nearly a year without going consistently… wasn’t sure about my identity in Christ so when I wasn’t at church I would cuss here and there and if alcohol was around at a party.. I would have some, never was drunk but would have 1 drink just because everyone else was drinking. I didn’t have christian friends yet and I wasn’t serious about God because I was more concerned with “fitting in”… but once I heard God loud and clear that night… something changed in my heart… and I gave God MY LIFE!! I said “God, you can have MY WHOLE LIFE, I vow not to date until I’m out of high school, I promise to stay pure in thought, actions, speech, I won’t be ashamed of you.. USE ME!”… all through my 4yrs of High School… He did. The cry of my heart was to have MORE of Him and I didn’t care. I had an encounter with the one who was IN LOVE with me... Jesus was ALL I wanted…

Til this day He’s still my number 1! NO ONE can satisfy my heart the way He does! He is after my heart and I will fight to keep my relationship with Him. No matter the cost or what obstacles come my way, nothing can tear me apart from loving Him and pursuing Him…as His daughter I want to daily show him I’m after His heart just as He is after mine… He deserves my best… not my worst… but even on my worst days… He loves me still…

Praying that you all get a fresh outpouring of Gods manifest LOVE for you, and that you never give up on Him because He will never give up on you… He’s in love with you, fight for your connection… do whatever it takes to rid yourself of distractions, to be CLOSER to Him because HE IS WORTH IT, HE’S WORTH THE FIGHT, WORTH THE PURSUIT, WORTH THE SACRIFICE..

When you’re in love… everybody knows it… so be in love… and show it!

“Love… and Do it UNCONDITIONALLY. Give it OUTRAGEOUSLY. Speak it RADICALLY. Be it CONTINUOUSLY. Just love… MASSIVELY.”
