Hear me out, I'm not talking about some awkward love triangle or a situation like on "The Bachelor." I'm talking about something that every girl should be able to know and feel. The love of God, the love of their dad, and the love of their soulmate.
The first love of a man I ever knew of and was aware of through repetitive words and actions was from my dad. From the moment I was born all the love that I knew was from my mother and my father. Side note: wow was I blessed with some good ones (shoutout to my mom in this post about men). My dad has shown grace, kindness, support, forgiveness, trust and protection to my entire family. He has been the example for what kind of standard I need to set for any man trying to come into my life. He's made me a daddy's girl. He has been the provider and supporter of all the things we want, because all he wants for his girls is to see us grinning from ear to ear at all times.
To be loved by a dad is a constant and safe comfort, knowing that your biggest fan is always just one phone call away.
The second man I came to knowledge of loving me was my creator himself. The one who chose my dad to be the example of what being a Father is all about. Everything that I have said about my dad is the same thing I can say about my Heavenly Father - thats the point. They go hand in hand in some way or another reminding us we're never going to be alone in this world. And if you're reading this and happen to have the kind of dad that isn't around, don't feel like you can't relate or are undeserving because that's why we have God. Our earthly fathers are here for guidance but if you don't have that, its okay. We have Jesus as our ultimate guidance.
To be loved by God is a constant and safe comfort, knowing that your biggest fan is always just one prayer away.
The third man that showed me love was my soulmate. Unexpectedly and all so magically at the same time. As I've said previously, I have always been surrounded by love from my dad and my heavenly father, of course I always dreamed of one day falling in love but for the moment being I was completely okay with finding that man one day when I've gotten my life together and was out on my own. But God had other plans. He had perfectly prepared me to know what kind of man to accept into my life to love me the way the He and my dad have loved me all my life and He perfectly prepared that man how to love an independent, firm in beliefs, not easily swayed kind of woman like me.
To be loved by my soulmate is a constant and safe comfort, knowing that your biggest fan is always just one drive down the road away.
All three of these men have loved me in the same way. This isn't a coincidence, its part of God's plan for my life. I have always been safe and protected, and I always will be.
This is what it's like to be loved by three men.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7 says, "4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
