" Love

 Welcome, Kings and Queens. How has your week been? My week has been good. I have been working on a few chapters of my book, and a website for my business that is in the form it hasn't fully blossomed, but I have faith that it will come right on time. The Holy Spirit wants me to talk about love today. Holy Spirit, I pray that you will give me wisdom and knowledge. Speak to me and through me with the words to say. I pray that you will overflow in me and all around me. Father God, I pray that this blog post will meet the persons you want to speak to as I share my story that it will inspire them, and they will feel the love. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen. Do you know what love is? Have you ever experienced love? Who do you love and why? Do you love 100 percent or only when you feel like it? Sit back, relax, and get comfortable. I will be H.O.T., which means humble, open, and transparent. Shout out to Transformation church. I am going to share my truths and my stories. To be completely honest with you, I am still learning what love is. I have been to the point where I didn't know what love was. When I lost my mom at 10 from lung cancer, my dad wasn't in the picture yet. My uncle and my auntie took me in. It was a big void that I was feeling and missing. I didn't feel love. My uncle and auntie did their best, but the best came with little love and childhood trauma. I know that they love me and my siblings. But there is nothing like a mother's and a father's love. Mothers are patient, empathetic, loving unconditionally, loving, compassionate, supportive, and the list goes on. I was sad on Mother's Day and her birthday. I just wanted to feel that special love again. If you have a mom, I encourage you to love her with endless love even if she is living and not in the picture, or you feel abandoned by her. I am asking you to forgive and just love you only get one mom. As I got older, I was looking for love in all the wrong places because I had not only one void, but I also had two. My mom and dad abandoned me even though I knew it wasn't my mom's fault. It was her time to go, and her spirit was always with me. What about you? Have you ever tried to find love in all the wrong places? I was holding on, loving things that could harm me, and never loved me back. I started getting into relationships with men, women, and married spouses. I picked up bad habits, trying to fit in with the crowd. I didn't want to be alone; I always wanted someone around. I started smoking. I did many things for temporary love, but those things never loved me back. I am still learning because I feel I am not worthy enough to have passion. Going through that journey, I got overwhelmed and tired. I went from never wanting to be alone to being alone and isolated. I went to a potent source that will love me just as I am with the brokenness, the good, and the ugly. Those persons are God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. They see me, they hear me, and they are always there loving me. They overflow me every day with love. I never knew what love was until I stopped running away and started running to them. I can be my authentic self and they will never leave or forsake me. I am confident that I am evidence of love. The love I receive from them is unconditional, endless love with no sinister motive. It is protection, gentleness, peace, joy, and kindness. I don't have any regrets. I am thankful for everything I have experienced because I would have never experienced the incredible love from the Kingdom without it. I would have never had peace in my mind and my heart. To be honest I have some doubts to work on about receiving love.  I am working on it. When you are breathing, you are love. I found some amazing quotes about love that I would like to share with each and every one of you. " We can only learn to love by loving." " A life lived in love will never be dull." Love recognizes no barriers.  Have a blessed day and a loving week. I encourage you this week to pour some of your pet on family, friends, and people you don't know. Whether it is just speaking to them or praying for them. If you come across someone struggling to carry their groceries home, you can offer to help them. Have a loving week. Love always, Chosen Princess.
