When I woke up this morning time and opened up to a devotion that I normally read, the headline was "get fix for love".

I thought to myself-"why?" Lol. Yeah I did think that.

I realize something… in my ain personal life. Getting over a human relationship/ or a by love, is one thing. Simply then there is a new battle once y'all practice that (PS: at that place is ever a new battle to fight in our walk with God. Only we always win). The new battle is preparing your heart for the future.

This, I think is how you lot know you are truly healed from past hurts.   Mind you, there is a time and flavour for everything, and so please note that I am not telling anyone to jump into a new human relationship if you still accept issues with the memories of the past. But when you let go of the past, there's this next stride of getting gear up to beloved over again. You see, you could think that you are over someone, but you don't really know until someone or the Holy Spirit asks you if you lot're ready to love again.

I am certain, in many respects, the Holy Spirit was talking to me. But I also think it's a adept topic to share on.

The truth is we can't (or shouldn't) move on to honey once more, if we have not let get of the past.

When I say that, I imagine getting ready for a date. When I go ready for a engagement, the first matter I do is take a long bath…I soak myself in something from the Trunk Shop. That is actually to remove all of the day'due south dirt from my body. Only also information technology'southward to ready my heed and spirit for the result. Once I am washed, I get my physical self set. That could take a while. But I want to ensure that I expect my best…not for the other person, but for me. I don't want to look tired, I don't want to look agitated. So I will spend fourth dimension making certain that my skin is soft, that my hair is in identify, that the dress is advisable…and that I look similar (in the word of my sister) " A Diva".  If I am a late, then the poor guy will have to wait… because I desire to make sure I am confidently ready for the engagement. When I am ready to keep a date, I always pray.

Getting ready for dear to me is the same thing. In that location might be a lot of sand, grit, hardened clay on our hearts… That won't work if you are getting set to love again. You're going to have to soak your heart in the Balm of Gilead, and brand it as ready as possible. You're going to take to apparel it with a breastplate of righteousness, so that it's not irritated easily by the other person'south shortcomings, and then that it doesn't compare the other person to your past, and so that it doesn't interruption down or whine on and on most your ex. Yous're going to have to nurture and pamper your heart until it is ready. And more than and then until God deems it set up.

In that location'southward no demand to blitz into anything. Yep, we were not created to be lonely. And God does desire us to detect beloved. But God does want us whole before you lot enter into a relationship. So allow's set our hearts for love.

Let's start with this:

Here is my heart. I give it Lord to you. Wash it, mold it, make information technology ready for the person that you have in store for me.

I'm but a girl with a sword who only wants to utilise the gifts that God has given her to make a divergence in the lives of others. I'k a Mentor, a Worship Leader, Teacher of the Word and Speaker. I'thousand also a Mother and a Friend. My prayer is that God volition apply my gift of is the gift of encouragement. Near importantly I'1000 almost relationships. Then my blogs are about encouraging people, offering words of advice and sometimes information technology's existence plainly and honest about some of the things that we exercise and that we should really piece of work on to make our relationships better. I utilise my life equally an example and my intention is always to be as transparent every bit God would have me to exist. So be encouraged, be blessed and be challenged to make yourself improve and stronger for yourself and those effectually y'all. View all posts by YADAH
