A different kind of love...

I thought I knew the meaning of love.

But I find myself standing dumbfounded once again with the revelation of the greatness of my heavenly Father's love.

L.O.V.E

There was a song that we kept singing in church lately and there was a phrase that resonated and caught my attention. The phrase none other than "Holy Love". This love that we seldom experience anywhere else but in the Father's presence.

His love is powerful but not forceful.

His love is pure and not demanding.

His heart is kind and not judgmental.

His love is unconditional.

Read 1 Corinthians 13:4-8.

Last weekend, I had the honour of sitting in a Planetshaker's Leaders' Meeting with Bill Johnson. He shared profoundly on the heart of the Father. My Father's heart is to fulfill every dream, desire and wants of his child. Yes! I said WANTS. Not just needs. We often skip way past this part because we refuse to be labelled narcissistic or self centred. But Father offers His love freely to everyone, without long lists of qualifications or conditions. Yes we might not deserve it but that is the nature of His Holy Love. He likes to wow us with signs that make us constantly wonder or leave us in awe like a child. He wants to bless you with everything you want, not just so we will be blessed but because the world needs to know that the Father is good.

So, my heart is for you to discover my God's love today. One that knows no bounds..He loves you..no matter what "BUT"s you put after that sentence. He is LOVE.

Celebrating my beautiful friend, P.J!

Today we celebrate my friend's birthday. She is the most generous, kind hearted and loving friend. We've been friends since I was six. How amazing to see how God has gifted me with this friendship. From being childhood friends, to housemates, to her being my boss. She is one of my best friends, that have seen my worst sides to share my courageous victories in life...I truly cherish this friendship.

Hope you feel ridiculously pampered this week. Here are some snaps from your huge birthday bash last Saturday! Love you lots, P.J!
