Today, as we celebrate the extraordinary combination of Ash Wednesday and Valentine's Day, our hearts are filled with love and reflection. On this special day, let us not only focus on earthly love but also on discovering and embracing our first and greatest love: the love of God. In this blog, I want to share my personal journey of struggling with self-love and forgiveness, and how I found healing and redemption through the pages of the book "Abba's Daughters: Everyday Women, Extraordinary God."
For years, I carried the weight of pain and struggled to fully receive God's love. Despite my understanding of His nature and even knowing John 3:16 by heart, the wounds within me made it difficult to believe and embrace His unconditional love. However, through perseverance and surrendering my doubts and uncertainties to Him every day, God has brought me a long way. It hasn't been an easy journey, but it has been one filled with growth, transformation, and the realization of His unwavering love for me.
In "Abba's Daughters: Everyday Women, Extraordinary God," I had the privilege of sharing my story of overcoming insecurity and the lasting effects of childhood struggles on my relationship with God, myself, and others. Within the pages of this powerful book, I chose to reflect on the journey of Leah, from feeling unloved to being fulfilled in God's love. Just like Leah, I may not have had the ideal mother-daughter relationship, lacking nurturing and validation from my own mother who perpetuated the pattern from her own experiences. But in the embrace of our Heavenly Father's Agape love, that little girl within me now feels safe, affirmed, and accepted. This transformation has inspired me to share my experience with others, gathering with my sisters in "Abba's Daughters" to spread the message of God's extraordinary love.
My deepest prayer for you, dear sister, is that you come to realize the boundless and unconditional love that our Heavenly Father has for you. It surpasses all limitations and transcends every circumstance you may face. It is available to each and every person, irrespective of past struggles or present circumstances. As you immerse yourself in the pages of "Abba's Daughters," I believe you will find resonance, encouragement, and the assurance of God's unwavering love. This book offers insights, personal anecdotes, and the transformative power of His love, which will deeply touch your heart and soul.
On this extraordinary day of Ash Wednesday and Valentine's Day, let us not only celebrate earthly love, but also focus on rediscovering our first love: the love of God.
