The words to this song ring so much louder to me now than when HE first brought this song to me. GOD has made these words true. I had no clue, but GOD was working, planting seeds that needed to be watered. I thank GOD that HE shows me Love. HE is my knight in shining armor. HE is my first and forever LOVE because HE first loved me. Nothing would have ever been enough if HE wasn't. Nothing I could have found on my own could sustain, last, or produce the fruit that GOD has for me. I never wanted to settle, however, I was looking for what GOD had for me rather than allowing HIM to send it. I tried to have my hand in it because I didn't know how or when it would happen. I thank GOD for HIS sovereign gracious hand. HE wanted me all to HIMSELF longer than I anticipated. But, HE will always have me ALL to HIMSELF, because HE is my always.
GOD is my first and forever LOVE.
Now I truly know what and who Love is. Now I know what it feels like to have complete intimacy, to be seen, which is what I truly desire. Now I know what it is to be cared for, protected, and provided for. Now I know what it feels like to be completely dependent. Now I know what it's like to be completely vulnerable. Now I know what it's like to trust. Now I know what it feels like to build a "new" relationship from the ground up, being broken, repentant, and grateful for another opportunity with GOD. Now I know what it's like to know Love in words and action. I thank GOD that HE taught me how to truly love myself. I thank GOD that HE is love and that HE shows me Love.
Nothing and no one could ever compare, and that's okay because they don't have to.
GOD is my first and forever LOVE.
HOLY SPIRIT led.
*** Background- this is coming from someone who wasn't focused on romantic relationships and only desired the relationship that GOD had for me. However, once HE gave me the desire, especially after HE gave me the promise, I searched when I just needed to be found.
The song that I referenced is "Show Me Love" by Eris Ford/Evan and Eris. Be blessed!
Love,
Raven Renee
