Living Unafraid

All of my life has included fears, obviously different ones as I got older but one that I've really struggled with is the fear of being left alone. I've always seen it in my worst nightmares and wrestled with the reality of how much it happens today.
Love, for many people, is what works for them and what pleases them. The minute that it gets hard or flaws are finally found, our world encourages us to stand up and say " I deserve better" and "I'm gonna find someone who will love me better." And that's what happens- people leave each other behind because they finally see the inescapable fact that no one is perfect.
But if we look at true love, at it's Source, we will find something different. Love is so much more than what America advertises. Love is sacrificial, unselfish, thoughtful, and prayerful.
Jesus' love for the world was not what our culture advertises. It wasn't an attraction, but a desire and a passion to save. It was a selfless perfect love that says "I know your faults, and I know you can't even come to me because you've stayed so far...But I. Chose. You."
God's love isn't the infatuation our culture worships but the unfailing cherishing love that makes new. The romance between Jesus and His Bride has been an amazing hope, especially for someone like me, because God sees my imperfections and calls me perfect. He sees my unfaithfulness but He is faithful. He knows I stray but He'll never leave. He stays. God will stay no matter who or what leaves, and that's why I can trust- I can trust in every situation, He's in control, not just an onlooker. He causes things to happen and things to leave for me to show me that He Never Will. Love Him so much. Just an encouragement to you all that God will always keep you and always delight I you because you are BEAUTIFUL and PRECIOUS to Him.
"I will never leave you or forsake you." - God❤
