We have another guest post today. I’m so excited to share this one with you guys. This is from none other than my baby sister, Brittany. Over the last several years, I have poured my heart into her, hoping she’d allow God to mold her into the woman He wants her to be. I’ve seen a tremendous change in her as she’s allowed Him to take control and I couldn’t be more proud or more honored to call her sister. Thank you, Jesus for transforming her life into such an amazing testimony. You are so good.

Love never fails (1 Corinthians 14:8). How many of us actually believe that? I know I struggle to. Past relationships of mine have shattered my hopes of ever finding a perfect, unfailing love. However, they have also made me realize that His love is the only truly satisfying, unfailing and perfect love. God’s love will never fail us no matter what we do to him. He will never turn His back on us, never reject us and He will never disrespect us. God’s love is unconditional and so fulfilling.
Is it wrong that I want a man to think I’m the most beautiful girl in the world? Am I out of line when I say I desire to feel irreplaceable, wanted, needed and desired by a man? Is it selfish of me to want a man to see me as the most important thing in his life (aside from God of course)? The answer, my dear, is no! Call me selfish and conceded, but God put these desires in my heart for a reason. God desires these things for us just as much as he desires to feel these things from us. We serve a jealous God…a God who desires our full attention…a God who desires our whole heart and who wants to feel irreplaceable, to be romanced and desired by us.
One night as I listened to my friend continuously complain about how he was being treated by a girl, I realized just how great God’s love is for us. My friend was feeling so defeated because he said no matter how much he loved this girl and no matter what he did for her, she rejected him, but he continued to fight for her despite how she made him feel. As unhealthy as this relationship sounds it’s exactly how many of our relationships with the Lord work. He fights for us and loves us even though we may turn away from Him and reject Him daily. God will never quit pouring His love on us…His love endures forever (1 Chronicles 16:34).
Our God is so good and He calls us to share His love with others. Brothers and sisters, do not feel defeated when someone you deeply love and care for rejects you. Trust God’s plan; it is perfect. God is so faithful and you must believe that He wants nothing but for you to be completely filled and happy with your life. He’s never going to leave you so fight the good fight…believe and be satisfied in His love for you.
