GOD, I CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF YOUR LOVE!!!!
This was me and God singing to each other today through Barry White’s song, ‘Can’t Get Enough of Your Love:’
Me to God:
I can’t get enough of Your love
Oh, some things I can’t get used to
No matter how I try
Just like the more you give, the more I want
And that’s no lie
Tell me, what can I say?
What am I gonna do?
How should I feel when everything is you?
What kind of love is this that You’re givin’ me?
Is it in your kiss or just because you’re sweet?
Then Him to me:
Girl, if only I could make you see
And make you understand
Girl, your love for me is all I need
And more than I can stand
Oh well, babe
How can I explain all the things I feel?
You’ve given me so much
Girl, you’re so unreal
Here’s how God showed up under the tree for me today! I had a mug by our door to take out to work for coffee. So, as I was leaving to my God tree, I smiled, thinking of the time I had a God wink with it and why it’s so special to me. I get to the God tree and the Nike running club app said I had jogged .70 miles and I went to page 70 of our family’s website. Can you believe that mug’s very story showed up out of 146 web pages? This was another glimmer of God’s intimate Presence with each of us!!! Here’s that post:
MY FIRST GOD WINK OF THE YEAR!!!
“Nikki, God loves you more than others.” That was a surprising statement from my hubby this morning. I played it all modest and said, “God loves us all, boo.” “No, He loves you more,” he insisted. I then replied, “Well, to be honest with you, I low-key tell the girls that I believe God loves our family a little bit more.” Hehehe! Right after that, less than 10 minutes later, I go to get my morning coffee. Instead of getting my regular cup, for some strange reason, I debated on using another one, when God incredibly gets in on our conversation, when, of all coffee mugs, I picked the one that said, “I LOVE YOU MORE (Wink! Wink!).”
What kind of love is this? That lined up TOO perfectly to be some ordinary coincidence. I rushed up to show my husband, “Look, Hon, what incredibly showed up on my coffee cup! God confirmed what you said!” He said, “See, I told you!” I’ve been using the same coffee cup for weeks, and I don’t know what came over me this morning to change up. I even debated using Julie’s mug, “Don’t stress, do your best,” but pulled instead that one with God showing me such intimate attention to my life. What a way to start off the new year, feeling God’s Presence with me and my family. Sweet! ‘Nik, I do love you more!!!’
“PERSPECTIVE IS THE NEW SUPERPOWER, BABY!” And we’re going through life with the perspective that God is with us, for us, and on our side. We do our best in the physical realm and then trust that God works in the spiritual realm on our behalf. Instead of thinking worst-case scenarios, we’re thinking best case, knowing the CREATOR of the entire universe is rolling with us – “AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD.”
Again, I’m just one beggar telling another beggar (you!) where I’ve found bread – AKA God’s love, protection, approval, wisdom, direction, strategies, solutions, and the people we need for living our best lives with Him! I just had the best run with my daughter, Ember, who insisted that we start the year off doing something hard – let’s hustle harder, y’all!
