Do you remember the song "What's Love Got to Do With It?" by Tina Turner? There is a line in the song that says "what's love but a second hand emotion, what's love got to do, got to do with it who needs a heart when a heart can be broken."
I can honestly say that I've had those broken hearts. I have experienced love as a second hand emotion; it's called an unloving spirit. This kind of love tells you that you don't deserve to be happy, you don't need someone to hold you and it won't allow you to get close to others. Most importantly the unloving spirit does not want you to love yourself. It will make you believe that you are not worth anything.
I have been spending a lot of time learning about love and all that "it" has to do with. I have found that 'it' is called a relationship with Jesus Christ.
I have been experiencing prayer healing and I must tell you that God has been performing heart surgery. He told me that we would be spending time together to heal "our" relationship. WOW! That meant a lot to me, to have the Creator of the Universe tell me He cares how I feel. Now, the unloving spirit will say "oh He didn't really say that." Oh shut up you imp, Yes he did! He wants us to work on His and my loving Spirit.
Since that time I am learning how God loves me so much that He gave his son to die for me and show me how to forgive. Jesus was given over to his peers who tormented Him for doing no wrong, slashed His skin, pierced His hands and feet with spikes, pressed long and thick thorns on His head in the form of a crown, and mocked Him by saying "He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ of God, the Chosen One."
Jesus was the great example when He said to His Father while hanging on a cross, "Father forgive them for they know not what they are doing."
If anyone had a reason to hate and hold bitterness it was Jesus. Yet, while He was on the cross Jesus forgave these people who walked with Him and heard of all the good things He did. He still loved on them with that prayer to Father God. What a role model for me.
Well, I have been basking in Jesus' love for me. He has transported me to my past only to move me forward in healing. Did you know that only He can do that? I began crying uncontrollably and didn't know why, therefore, I cried out to God and asked Him. He told me 'you have a broken heart.' I genuinely felt the pain in my heart. I asked again; 'Where is the root of this pain?' I was transported thirty two years back when the first boy in my life broke my heart. The pain I felt that day when he broke up with me was the same exact pain I was experiencing at this moment. As I let the tears flow, the hurt continued, and allowed myself to feel this hurt; I was healing. I cried for two hours straight as I traveled through the years of heart ache I've experienced. I went from thirty two years past to the present time. I wanted love and thought the best way to find it was actually in the wrong ways.
Today, my view of love has changed. Jesus showed me that His stripes are deeper than a paper cut. His stripes are more than two inches deeper. The weapons used on Him were not as thin as paper, but as thick as a three strand twisted natural fibre rope. It was deep and His love is deeper. He loved me enough to sacrifice Himself for my life. He loved me so much that He gave up the finer things in life and in heaven. Who am I that He would do such a thing? I don't know any man on earth that would do that.
So, today, I am learning what it means to love with my heart. I am learning to give with my gifts. I am learning that my body is a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God. I don't have to give it up for love except to Jesus Christ for His love and purpose.
After my morning journey through time, I began forgiving and asking God to sever all soul ties. This was freeing me to love with my whole heart. It freed me to live holy and pleasing to God. I am not who I was, but I am who God says I am today; a new creature in Christ.
~ Be encouraged, people will use your past against you because they agree with Satan that what you did defines you. That is a lie from the pit of hell. Satan only has your past to use against you.
Be encouraged still, You are who God says you are; a child loved by God the Creator. Give all of your heart to Him today.
