God’s Extraordinary Love

God is good, all the time…And all the time, God is good!

These words are spoken by people frequently as they celebrate the goodness of God and what He’s done in their lives. But it is definitely more than just a saying. The goodness of His nature is unparalleled. Extraordinary. I serve a gracious, caring, unconditional loving Father Who has guided me through the many trials of my life. And without Him, I don’t know where I’d be. I can guess though…

Still using illegal drugs, living in a state of depression over my mother’s death as she lost her battle with cancer, jobless with no hope or money, distraught and confused after being physically, mentally, and emotionally abused by the past “loves” of my life.

But today, I am none of the above. Through strengthening my relationship with God, staying in prayer, studying God’s Word, and being willing to do things His way, I have moved forward in becoming the woman He’s called me to be. He has loved me through all of my messes and continues to show me extraordinary love on a daily basis. All the time.

And through His extraordinary love, I’ve been able to truly start loving myself and seeing myself as He sees me. And as my dreams have collided with His purpose for my life, my extraordinary, has just begun.

If you’re size six, you dance. If you’re Ava Alexander, you watch the purses while your girlfriends dance. Each man that passes her by takes a little of her self-esteem. After escaping a mentally abusive relationship, she promises God she will wait on Him to bring her the right man. And she means it—Until Ishmael. When her best friend’s fiancé throws a few compliments her way, she travels down the path of betrayal. Ava’s choice strains her friendship and sends her into a depression.

Ava receives spiritual guidance from Dr. Glory Moses. Through God’s Word, there is a glimpse of hope for a restored friendship, and a newfound love for the woman she is. In addition, a man she meets at the counseling center offers her a glimpse of what could be if she lines up with God’s will for her life. Will Ava be able to overcome her insecurities and step into the life God plans for her, or will she continue to self-destruct?
