Greetings,
Here is the recipe for today…

1 John 4:19
We love because he first loved us.

We all want to feel loved, cared for, valued, appreciated, and acknowledged, but sometimes we look for this in the wrong places. Who can love you like God can? Who cares for you like God cares? Who can treat you like God treats you? No one!!! He loved us before we loved ourselves, so stop looking for it from people, when you have a God who does it. God loved you enough to wait on you, but do you love Him enough to wait on Him? Remember, in order to get Godly wisdom you have to retain Him in your knowledge by studying His word to get an understanding.

“The longer you wait, the better it will be”
