“Biblical commandments weren’t proclaimed as a means to keep us subjected to God’s authority, but rather to free us from the self-inflicted pain which we were sure to endure without them.” ~M

Love Me Like you Mean It
What every girl wishes for… 😉
“Love Me Like You Mean It” – Kelsea Ballerini
Oh, hey
Boy with your hat back
Mmm, I kinda like that
If you wanna walk my way,
I’mma shoot you straight up
Show me what you’re made of
Boy with your hat back
Mmm, I kinda like that
If you wanna walk my way,
I’mma shoot you straight up
Show me what you’re made of
I don’t have time to waste on the boys
That are playing the games
And leaving the girls crying out in the rain
So tell me, baby,
Do you got what it takes?
If you’re gonna hold me, hold me like I’m leaving
If you’re gonna kiss me, kiss me like you need it
Baby, if you’re not, you best get to leaving
If you’re gonna love me, love me like you mean it
If you’re gonna talk the talk, you better walk it
If you wanna keep me, keep me like you lost it
If you’re gonna say it, make me believe it
If you’re gonna love me, boy, love me like you mean it
Oh, hey
I’ve had my share of losers, liars, and users
Looking for a heart to break
So if you’re like that
Well, take a step back
‘Cause I don’t have time to waste on the boys
That are playing the games
And leaving the girls crying out in the rain
So tell me, baby,
Are you just crazy, or crazy over me?
If you’re gonna hold me, hold me like I’m leaving
If you’re gonna kiss me, kiss me like you need it
Baby, if you’re not, you best get to leaving
If you’re gonna love me, love me like you mean it
If you’re gonna talk the talk, you better walk it
If you wanna keep me, keep me like you lost it
If you’re gonna say it, make me believe it
If you’re gonna love me, boy, love me like you mean it
If you’re gonna love me, love me, love me
If you’re gonna hold me, hold me like I’m leaving
If you’re gonna kiss me, kiss me like you need it
Baby, if you’re not, you best get to leaving
If you’re gonna love me, love me, love me
If you’re gonna talk the talk, you better walk it
If you wanna keep me, keep me like you lost it
If you’re gonna say it, make me believe it
If you’re gonna love me, boy, love me like you mean it
Love me like you mean it
If you’re gonna love me, love me, love me
Love me like you mean it
Authentic friendships
“Very few friendships stand the test of time, because authentic love and honesty are so very hard to find.” ~M

Pressing forward…
Today I was reading over some of my favorite passages in scripture and came across Paul’s reminder; “Forget what lies behind and reach forward to what lies ahead.” These scripture verses in Philippians 3:12-16, really spoke to me today and gave me the encouraging words I needed. I hope by reading these words, you will be encouraged as well.
I also came across a related devotional over at: The Hill House
The devotional can be found here – Philippians 3:12-16 devotional
Philippians 3:12-16 (NASB)
12 Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on [a]so that I may lay hold of that [b]for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as are [c]perfect, have this attitude; and if in anything you have a different attitude, God will reveal that also to you; 16 however, let us keep [d]living by that same standard to which we have attained.
Hope everyone has a blessed Sunday! ~M
