So who says that I have to know you to love you?!!
Dear Beloved,
I know we are kinda strangers and all….but I have such a love for you that it’s not on the normal side of this life!
God placed this love deep down within me.
I find myself thinking about you, praying for you and even shedding tears. I rejoice with you when you have good news to share and my heart mourns with you when you are sad. I ask myself what is it about you that draws me near.
“Terra, why on earth do you spend time thinking about people in the midnight hour when you could be sleeping? What about when you could just be relaxing and having some Me, Myself and I time?!!” Have you considered your agenda that’s already filled to the max? ( yes I talk to myself in my head of course! )
These are a few of the questions I ask myself and the answer is JESUS.
You are such a precious and valuable treasure that the Lord loves! I can love you because he loved me first. I sit and wonder how your life is going, wondering if there is anything I can say or do to be a friend, a comforter, a shoulder to cry on or just be an ear to listen and hear you out. I pray for your family and your circumstances. I often pray for your salvation and your wellbeing. You name it and I’ve likely already prayed about it or it’s going to be prayed about.
When you come to mind, I can’t help but ask the Lord to meet your needs. I am so curious about you that I inquire of Him things that I can do as His vessel to be of service to you. I thank the Holy Spirit for guidance. I can’t do much without the greatest GPS to lead me. God is so good.
There is nothing I expect from you in return. It blesses my heart to bless you. Lord knows that I want the best for you and your family. I pray, asking that your life is blessed, that a hedge of protection surrounds you and that every thing you do that is of good standing with the Lord prospers.
Be filled with love, joy, hope and faith!
Beloved, just know that someone in this world loves you even if you think you aren’t loved or deserving of it. God loves you more than anyone on this earth and will never leave you.
Don’t turn your back on Love. God is the Master of Unconditional Love. I can’t love you quite like Him but with all that I have that’s been poured into my soul, I share with you. He gifts me with many blessings that I can’t help but pour back out to you.
Love never stops giving even if you try to fight it. Jesus Christ is the greatest example of Love. I want to be more like him each and every day. May my love and light shine that you will see it and receive it.
Hold on to your faith, cling heavily to the hem of Christ, be stedfast and immovable when life gets rocky. Call on the name of the Lord and he will come to you. Ask Him into your life if you have never met him. Repent and receive. He will welcome you with open arms.
I stand in hope that you are doing well today. I love you and I’m praying for you. If you need me, I’m not too hard to find.
Sincerely,
Terra
The Lord your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing. (Zephaniah 3:17 NKJV)
I wish there was a “love” button.

Absolutely beautiful!!! This really touched me. God bless you bunches !
I am so glad that this touched you. You hav blessd me with your kind words straight from the heart! God bless you just as much!
Terra, May the Lord bless you in the measure that you have blessed Him, in spreading His love to others, for His Name’s sake! 🙂
Oh thank you for such encouraging words my friend! If you could see the smile on my face. Lord how I love to love and to be used by You! Many blessings and treasures from the Almighty that are to shower down upon you that your cup runs over to share with others!
You are such an inspiration to me. The love you have for others is truly amazing Terra. I love you too sister!
( blushing ) Oh sister I love you dearly! What a sweetheart you are. I am thankful to have you in my life. 🙂
Lovely inspiration now if we will only love like He does we would be so much better off…
Thanks Sis. I truly agree with what you say. Lord knows we can only strive to achieve on His level but to give what we can from the depths of our soul unravels more and more as we become more like him.
Thank you Terra for your Love Letter and a great message about Love, God’s Love that we are to ask for and receive with thanks is indeed very differant from man’s fleshy love.
We also have emotions that need to be expressed, some of course need to be confessed when they lead to sin before we have put our flesh to death and been perfected in Love, others we can appreciate but they are all a gift from God, it is in knowing what we feel that we can confess or give thanks, even anger that does not lead to bitterness needs to be vented in healthy ways, not repressed, righteous anger is very good.
Thanks again Christian Love from both of us – Anne
Thanks Anne and Ron! Many blessings to you for kind words and thoughtfulness and insight. God’s Love is beyond words. What a blessing to give and receive.
Terra, thank you for my love letter. Loving each other as God has commanded us to do. It is not always easy to do with all the elevator emotions, and the unexpected obstacles but if we truly love Him, we will strive to meet the standards of our creator. May we all be pleasing to each other therefore pleasing Him.
This is simply beautiful and coming from the wellspring of Terra, trust me I know. I had an encounter on more than one occasion with her.
Blessings to you and remember look up to the hills where your help cometh from. The Lord, is in control. Love you with the heart of God. ♥♥♥
Hugs and more hugs. The butterflies are released and spreading love back your way.
A Woman After God’s Own Heart ♥
❤❤❤…… You are welcome Shenine. Thank you for such kind and generous words for I know that they come from your heart. I am feeling quite overwhelmed with this love that God has given me to share. Being that you know me quite well as a sister and BFF, we are connected at heart. Blood only unites us on this earth in the flesh but that of Christ connects us forever. Though we are not connected by earthly blood, it was the Almighty God who brought such a friendship together that it seems that we were just separated at birth.
Thank you for identifying my wellspring and expressing it. May all that we do be for the edification of growth and prosperity in the Lord. From my heart to yours I love you dearly!
I will continue to love the Body of Christ the best way I know how. Always seeking Kingdom ways for those saved and unsaved until I leave this earth.
Blessings to you always! God keep you and strengthen you from His bosom. ❤
