Call me naïve, call me young, call me what you want… I believe in love. I look at my children and know that I would lay my life down to save theirs… without hesitation… without a second thought. I believe in love that doesn’t ignore wrongs, but pushes past it to find the right. I have known love that stands as a wall around me in the face of adversity, protecting me from a harsh world. I have seen love that silences personal thoughts and opinions, to spare pain from the one they love. I have witnessed love that casts the perfect shadow in the scorching heat of heartbreak. I believe in that giddy, conquers all, we can take on the world love…
I trust love… I trust that no matter what happens, love will see us through. I trust that love can see my mistakes and beauty at the same time, never loving me any less. I don’t believe what “they” say when they tell me love will make me weak. Love has picked me up when I couldn’t find my own way, filling the gap that exists between making my weakness a strength. I believe love is patient, because it knows it cannot be denied… Love is what wakes me up in the middle of the night to pray for my children. Love is what guided me out of harm’s way… Love is what protected me from the things I didn’t understand, but wanted so badly to know.
Love has mended the heart of the most shattered people. Love has provided warmth in life’s coldest days, reminding me I am not alone. My family did not just say they loved me, they showed me… There were plenty of times they could have turned their back, leaving me to muddle in my own pool of wrong… but love picked me up, cleaned me off, and carried my head up high until I gained the strength to do it on my own.
Even though many people masquerade lust as love, I will not be swayed… I will not give up, because I believe in love… I have experienced too much love to ever turn my back on it. Love cannot be seen, it isn’t always felt, but in the most needed moments, it wraps itself around us like skin, marking all that we touch with our love prints…
I pray that life never robs us of the treasure, that is love. Too many times we give up on love because someone abused it… Someone broke us. We become afraid to feel the warmth of love flee, so we choose to adjust to the cold of this world… But true love should begin on the inside. It should exist in the deepest part of our soul so it is not easily robbed… It should burn fervently so that it can melt the ice that life brings… Yea, I believe in love, in the beauty it possesses and the pain it heals. I cannot believe in God and not believe in love, for they are one in the same. I cannot trust God, and not trust love… Just as we must be cautious who we allow to lead us to God, we must also be careful who we let show us love… Love is too powerful to be administered by someone you cannot trust… Love is medicine for the soul, but if given to the wrong person, what is meant to help you, will hurt you… Love is too powerful to be shackled by your past… Love wisely, strongly, and freely…

This motivated me. Truly inspirational. I am crying at work as I type this – I believe in love despite the heartbreak I’ve experienced. I trust love because it comes from God. I will not give up on love because it is a precious gift given to me by God. The devil tried but he will not steal my love! I needed to read this, this morning. Thank you for being a vessel for the Lord. God bless you and your ministry.

Beautifully expressed. A very wise young woman indeed.
WOW!! There are those times when I just pause, think, re-read, ponder the words that overflows from your heart. You are an amazing writer!! You are like no other! God’s gift and anointing flows through you!
I believe in love also, my friend, and though Satan has tried to make me think other wise. I will fight for the re-assurance that if others are not able to fully grasp it, I will do the best I can to reflect Gods’ heart. Thank you!

“I cannot trust God and not trust love…”
Beautiful Miss Sarah, there is such a beautiful clarity that pours from you soul when you share. Be it, at my first conference with you, on Facebook, Twitter it matters not, the beautiful testimony that God is crafting in you becomes evident every time you share and always comes through. Thank you for being one of a few examples for me in the family of Christ that showcases that His will will be done, that when you submit, And look for His face things we could never understand in the natural blossom into a spiritual revolution that could only make us closer to who He designed us to be. I thank God for your candor and your willingness to share your journey as God continues to perfect His masterpiece in you!
Great one!
Sarah, ı connect wıth you through your wrıte-ups. Love – the greatest and most powerful four letter word. I belıeve ın love so much but lıke ıts been saıd, one must be careful whom you allow to love you as well as whom you love. God ıs the greatest epıtome of love and ıf we are blessed wıth famıly who love us no matter what, the joy that brıngs ıs second to none. Also, we must understand that loads of people dont havent experıenced pure Natural Love but rather artıfıcıal love.. I pray to God to help me experıence real, pure and genuıne love and ı should be able to recıprocate ıt ın return.
Most ımportantly, ı want to lıve everyday of my lıfe apprecıatıng Gods love.
May God bless you Sarah! May Hıs love lınger ın your lıfe always.

You aré an amazing writer Sarah# this is so inspirational# and I toke what’s mine. Love is beautiful and its a gift from God. So how along the road we offten show love tO the wrong person and that can hurt. If a woman loves she loves with emotion, heart and soul and when that person doesn’t love you back in it hurts and leave you broken. Sometimes we keep quiet because we love. But I will believe in love.
Ever since the first moment I spoke your name.
From then on I knew, that by you being in my life things were destined to change. Cause LOVE..So many people use your name in vain.
LOVE..Those who have faith in you sometimes go astray..
LOVE..Through all the ups and downs the joys and hurts!!!
LOVE..For better or worse Lord Jesus I will choose you first!!
Beautifully written Sarah. Thank you for sharing and using your life to help others. God bless you.

Powerful message. I was at bible study last Tuesday, when I asked God to allow me to feel his love; it was in that moment as I was drowning in my own tears.. that I felt his arms around me. I realized that he’s always loved me.. I just needed to allow him IN. Feel HIS love today!!
you are everything God wants you to be, stay humble and never give up the gift that you have, lots of love to you Sarah.
