Being young and naive, like many women, I thought I found love in a man when that was far from the truth. God revealed to me how He’d been there, even then, waiting for me to invite Him into my heart and allow Him to be Lord over my life. The issue that caused my marriage to come to an abrupt end is also the event that positioned me to experience the kind of love that I’d longed for since childhood. Real love- Unconditional love … Agape love which is the highest form of love for it is the love of God for mankind . While worshiping, my entire perspective of what love is shifted. I became aware that, firstly, there is no love more powerful than the love of God. Nothing or nobody in the world could offer me the kind of love God has given to me. Secondly, my children will hear love and experience love in my household. This will prevent them from growing up and looking for love in all the wrong places like I did. And lastly, my next husband will be a resemblance of God’s love for me. He will know the real me, my weaknesses and flaws and still love me. This shift in perspective caused me to slow down on rushing God to send my husband because the man that God was sending would be a special kind of man. He would be a man who would offer God’s idea of love, not the worlds …
