But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Sometimes I think we as young women forget how much God really loves us. We are competing for his time with so many things that the world has to offer. How many times do we sit with our girlfriends and talk about guys and dating and goo about how we wish we had that someone special? We would rather spend countless hours talking about reality shows, who got engaged or married on Facebook, who had a baby, and what sister so-and-so is wearing at the church. I experienced God's love recently this year and after I started getting involved with the wrong people and the wrong things, I began to feel his love less and less. Until recently, I revealed such an intimate part of my life to my friends (because we all fall short) and you know what they said? They said that they still loved me and that everything was OK. They looked at the broken pieces of my life and said that they were willing to be there every step of the way. Not just throught the good times, but when we argue and fuss eachother out (which we do constantly lol), at the end of the day, their love for me will never change. At this moment, I experienced Jesus' love for me through my best friends. If they can love me the dirty pieces of me, I can't imagine how much God really loves me. He created us. He was and still wants to be our first love if we let Him. With that being said, as women of God, we cannot continue to look for love in the wrong places. And the truth is love looks so good on Facebook. The engagement posts ads the wedding pictures are fantastic, but this is and CANNOT be our ultimate goal in life. It has to be Christ. So to my young sisters who are settling for guys who do not care about their souls, or just looking for love in the wrong places, my friend sent me this text message and it is for you. "I just hope that you notice by now that I really care for you and that you deserve the best of life. You deserve to have someone that will know your VALUE, be LOYAL, and FAITHFUL, and treat you like the QUEEN that you really are."
