“You have ravished my
heart, my lovely one, my bride; I am overcome by one glance of your eyes…”
Song of Solomon 4:9
Life doesn’t always turn out to be the perfect picture we
had imagined. As little girls we dreamt of being swept away by the perfect man,
having a dreamy wedding, getting the perfect job and having perfect children. We
believed we would be perfect wives and mothers.
But the realities of life happen. Relationships fail. Strife
and confusion plague our hearts and minds. Hardships steal our joy and wreck
our peace.
We long to be loved and accepted.
The truth is, God loves us deeply and has chosen us as His.
We are accepted through the Blood of Jesus Christ. Even on our worst days.
This truth is for YOU…
With one glance of your eyes, you captured His heart.
Think of your worst moment, when your behaviors, thoughts or
words were at their lowest. Go to that dark and painful place where the enemy
continues to hurl words of shame and condemnation at you.
Allow the Lord to gently shine the warmth of His light on the
cold darkness the enemy has been using against you. Let Him show you that His
love for you did not waiver in those dark moments, and He deeply longs to be
closer to you.

she felt that God owed her something because she was such a great Christian. Do
you feel that way sometimes? What, if anything, “cured” you of that misconception?
