I mentioned in my post about Faith, written November 2nd, that Love is something I'm praying for more of. It became clear to me how important Real Unconditional Love was in my life. I quoted 1 Corinthians 13:13 "these 3 remain: faith, hope and love, but the greatest of these is love." but the actual scripture God showed me at that time was 1 Corinthians 13:2 "If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing."
When we pray for a Godly attribute, like patience, most of us know we usually have to go through trials to sharpen that character instead of just receiving it right away. Well trials I am in and it's hard.
I love Mark 12:30 so I framed it and hung it on my wall a long time ago and wrote it like this: "Love the Lord your God with all you Heart (emotional), with all your Soul (spiritual), with all your mind (mental) and with all your Strength (physical)." That pretty much covers every part of our being! In all our emotions, feelings, spirit, thoughts and body, our inner and our outer...we are to Love God! In fact, Jesus says this is the greatest commandment. "The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself." Mark 12:28-31.
but right now, My heart is broken, my soul is empty, my mind is lost and my strength is weak and weary. What more of me can I give? I'm an exhausted mother who has been through too many trials. I feel like I'm going backwards instead of forwards. I feel like, I am nothing.
"Hungry" I come to You for I know You satisfy.
I am empty but I know Your love does not run dry.
and I wait.
I'm falling on my knees offering all of me.
Jesus, You're all this heart is living for.
Broken I run to You for Your arms are open wide.
I am weary but I know Your touch restores my life.
so I'll wait for You
so I'll wait for You

Walk in his love. Walk in his grace. That's the only place our weakness is made strong (Heb 11:34).
Love your dad's comment. So true, our weakness is HIS strength.
LOVE.
When I think of love I think of our family :)
I LOVE YOU.
