Be Loved by Him

As I was driving to Danville today I thought about creating a blog, but the thing I got stuck on was the name I would call it. I wanted the name to mean something, I wanted it to be something that reflected my life in some way and some how pointed to my first passion: God. My desire for this blog is for it to always point back to God. So than it hit me something that has meaning in my life and my life as a woman and what I try to share with other woman. The idea of Beloved, the idea of what it means to be Gods Beloved....so here it goes

Beloved

That is a word that has meant a lot in my life the past 3 years or so. As many of you know I am part of a woman's ministry called Beloved ministries, so that is where I began to learn about the word but it has only grown. And how I have applied it to my life has grown

Beloved what does it mean? Take it apart Be Loved....so be loved by who? Be loved By Him...God (hence the name of this blog)

A few years ago I started on the journey of knowing what being loved by God really means, and what it means for me as a woman. It is something that I am still learning daily and while I'm learning I love to share it with other woman

As woman we have so many things telling us what we need, our culture tells us that we need to look a certain way, dress a certain way, act a certain way, talk a certain way, and have a certain job to have worth and to be loved by people. It is so easy to fall for all the lies and all the garbage the world throws at us. But God says "Daughter Be Loved by me, you are my beloved and you are loved, just as you are" We are daughters of the King (which may sound corny but it is true) and because of that we are loved by God. God wants to be enough for us, and in the world that we live in it is hard to come to a point where we say ok God you are enough. But it is a beautiful thing when we can say God your love is enough. Of course it is good to be loved by other people, but that is not where our value, worth, and satisfaction should come. It breaks my heart to see woman believe the lies that they have to have a boyfriend or husband to have worth or to be loved. Marriage is a gift from God, but it does not give us as woman more worth. Our worth is found in the fact that we were created by God in His image to be His daughter! WOW! It blows my mind. We are not defined by our status but by Gods love for us. Your value does not change when you get married but your purpose as a woman does.

Anyways this is a thought that has become a huge part of my life. The idea of being loved by God and that, that is where my worth and value come from and that I do not have to do anything but believe in Him to be loved by him. God has blessed me in the past 2 years to work with middle school to college age woman, and this is what I love to share with them, it has become a passion of mine. I am not sure why God has given me the gifts he has given me or why he has allowed me to work with woman but all I want is to use what I have learned and my experiences to share with woman that they are loved by God. It is something I am still learning, so join with me and lets Be Loved by Him.
