IF

IF               

If I can have you with me all the time, I would be glued to you.

If I can keep you safe wrapped in my love, my arms, my heart and soul without ever hurting you, I would keep you safe.

If I can be with you without the doubts, concerns, pass heart aches, I would be with you forever.

If I can promise you that I would never make a mistake or hurt your heart or pride, I would make that promise.

If I can look into your eyes and provide you with my thoughts, my desires, my wants and you feel my love instantly without a doubt, I would stare into your eyes forever.

If I tell you that I will love you forever and mean it from my heart, believe me.

If I say I will try to spare your heart from being broken, I will try harder to not hurt you.

If I love you today I know that I will ALWAYS love you tomorrow because that is forever with you.

If I am not around you I want you to know that I am thinking of you, desiring you, most importantly still loving you.

If I make a fool of myself trying to love you at all times, I guess that makes me a sucker for love.

If I have the need to be please, I will depend on you.

All the if’s in the world can’t stop me from being in love with you.  I love you always!

The Test of The Heart

Proverbs 17:3  Fire tests the purity of silver and gold, but the LORD tests the heart.

It takes intense heat to purify gold and silver.  Similarly, it often takes the heat of trials for the Christian to be purified. Through trails, God shows us what is in us and clears out anything that gets in the way of complete trust in him.  Peter says, "These trials will show that your faith is genuine.  It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold-through your faith is far more precious than mere gold" (1 Peter 1:7).  So when tough times come your way, realize God wants to use them to refine your faith and purify your heart.

No matter what it looks like just know that God is wanting to see your faithfulness, your dedication to serve Him.  So hold on, be steadfast and unmoveable when all hell breaks loose.
