Real Love

-

 

 

 More Than a Feeling

In a world where the word love is used so casually, it's easy to mistake attraction, convenience, or temporary emotions for something much deeper. Real love isn't just about butterflies, grand gestures, or saying the right words. It is revealed through consistent actions, sacrifice, patience, and commitment.

Real love chooses kindness even when it's difficult. It listens before it speaks. It forgives without keeping score and gives grace without expecting perfection. Love doesn't manipulate, control, or diminish another person. Instead, it encourages growth, celebrates victories, and offers support through life's hardest moments.

We often search for love in others while forgetting that healthy love begins within ourselves. When we recognize our own worth, we become less likely to settle for relationships that are built on fear, insecurity, or unhealthy dependence. Self-respect creates the foundation for giving and receiving genuine love.

Real love also requires honesty. It means having difficult conversations with compassion instead of avoiding conflict. It means choosing truth over comfort and working together through challenges rather than walking away when life becomes inconvenient. No relationship is perfect, but love is willing to grow through imperfections.

The greatest example of real love is one that gives without expecting anything in return. It is patient during seasons of waiting, faithful during seasons of uncertainty, and hopeful even when circumstances are difficult. Love is not measured by how loudly it is declared but by how faithfully it is lived every day.

As you move through this week, ask yourself: Does my love bring peace? Does it inspire growth? Does it reflect kindness, patience, and compassion? Whether in friendships, family, marriage, or your relationship with yourself, choose a love that is rooted in integrity and expressed through action.

Real love isn't about finding someone perfect. It's about showing up consistently, extending grace generously, and choosing to care deeply every single day. When love is genuine, it leaves people stronger, not smaller; healed, not harmed; hopeful, not hopeless.

Reflection: Today, make one intentional choice to demonstrate real love—offer forgiveness, speak words of encouragement, lend a helping hand, or simply be fully present with someone who needs to know they are valued. Real love has the power to transform lives, one act of kindness

Brokenness to Healing part 2

God is dealing with me about being broken.  I've had so many Revelations about healing, and being restored in the Spirit.  I know there are so many women who are broken. I know in my own life I have been faced with some very tough and serious situations.  I thank God that I am walking in my healing.  Praise God for being healed, restored and set free. Below is a post that I had written   It is titled "A Change is a Change".  I hope that this piece will minister to your hearts and minds, and give you much peace.  Enjoy this second installment entitled Brokenness to Healing. "A Change is a Change" As I go through things I am learning that there is a lesson for everything that I have gone through.  As I continue to seek knowledge, and wisdom I can see how the trials of life can be tied into a lesson.  When I feel pressed and weighted down with an issue I find relief in writing about what is bothering me.  This week I am still dea...

The Many Faces of Motherhood

Wow the summer is a half mark, and fall is fast approaching.  Tge days of being by the pool sude, and sipping lemonade are quickly dwindling.  Last week I got an interesting email from one of my mentors.  In the email there was a message of living without regret.  That has had me thinking of taking a new direction in my ministry.  Motherhood is the basis of my ministry.  I have a strong focus, and passion to reach single mothers.  As a mother of three teenagers, and one active preteen I have gained a vast amount of knowledge on parenting.  As the week unfolds I will be featuring posts on motherhood, parenting, and topics pertaining to children.  I'm very excited about what God is doing in this season.  Below is an article that was written a few years ago.  I look forward to the newness of the week.  Enjoy and be blessed. Greetings everyone I hope that God is blessing you with peace and prosperity.  you know I really lo...

THE LORD WILL NEVER FAIL

-
           In the world that we live in it is hard not to worry.  Every time you turn on the television, or pick up the newspaper something is always happening.  Some of us get a little anxious around bill time.  You may worry that the money will run out before all the bills are paid. The holiday season is in full swing, and the pressure to buy gifts is causing people to worry.  It is a true saying that giving is a blessing, but what if you do not have anything to give during the holiday season?  What about the families that can't afford to spend hundreds, or even thousands of dollars on gifts.  We all have moments in our lives where we have worried about something.  There have been moments in my life where I wondered how I was going to feed my children.  Looking back at those times I realize that God always made a way for me.  Even when I didn't know how to trust him. In...
