A Love That Fights for You

 A Love That Fights for You

Zechariah 8:2

 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath.”

There are seasons when you feel forgotten. But Zachariah whispers truth:
God’s heart burns with love for you. He steps into your story, pushes back what oppresses you, breaks what binds you, and restores what life tried to steal. His jealousy means you are never outside His care, never beyond His reach, never too broken for His restoring love.

When God says He is “jealous” for His people, He is revealing a love both tender and fierce. This is not human jealousy rooted in insecurity it is divine passion rooted in covenant. It is the heart of a Father who refuses to let anything destroy what belongs to Him. His jealousy is His protective commitment, His unwavering pursuit, His determination to defend, restore, and redeem.

Israel had wandered. They had suffered. They had felt the sting of loss. But God’s message was not rejection it was restoration. “I am still committed to you. I will fight for you. I will bring you back into fullness again.”

This same God fights for you. He pushes back darkness. He guards your life.
He steps into battles you cannot see and works in places you cannot reach. You are not unprotected, you are not forgotten, you are loved with a love that takes action. Let this verse steady your heart today: The God who loves you,  also fights for you.

Moments of Reflection

Where do you need to trust God’s protective, fighting love today?
What burden have you been carrying alone that He is inviting you to surrender to Him? Rest in this truth: He is not distant—He is defending you.

Prayer

Lord, thank You for loving me with a fierce and faithful love. Let Your protective presence surround my heart today. Fight for me where I am weak, restore what has been broken, and draw me closer to Your unfailing care. Keep me anchored in the strength of Your love. In Jesus’ Name Amen.

Verse to Hold:

“Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot sweep it away.” Song of Solomon 8:7

  Endurance in Suffering: Finding God in Pain" Romans 5:3-4 (NIV) Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope."   Romans 5:3-4 is a powerful passage that speaks to finding strength and growth through adversity. Paul encourages believers to find purpose in their suffering. Instead of being defeated by trials, we are called to persevere, knowing that endurance develops character and leads to hope. Reflecting on this passage, finding God in pain can mean recognizing His presence during our trials. Pain is a worldwide experience, something we all face at different points in our lives. In my personal journey as a Christian pain served as a facilitator for growth beyond mere affliction. The loss of a child stands as one of life's most poignant trials for a woman. Enduring several miscarriages, I clung to hope and prayer for a successful pregnancy. Yet, after week...

Grandma’s Refuge

  Grandma’s Refuge   Proverbs 14:26 (ESV)   In the fear of the Lord, one has strong confidence, and his children will have a refuge.   As a grandmother, I often lie awake at night wondering if there is a truly safe place for my grandchildren in this chaotic, ever-changing world. My heart aches with questions: Will they be, okay? Will they find peace, truth, and safety? Then God gave me Proverbs 14:26: "In the fear of the Lord one has strong confidence, and his children will have a refuge." This verse settled deep in my soul. It reminded me that when I walk in reverence and trust in God, He becomes their refuge, even when I cannot be there. It gave me confidence, a holy reassurance: God’s got this. He is the unshakable, solid ground beneath their feet. And as I continue to trust Him, I am building a legacy of faith that becomes a shelter for them.   The safest place for our grandkids is not found in gated communities or well-padded bank accounts. It is found in ...

" God’s Timing:” The Divine Mercy in Loss

  " God’s Timing:” The Divine Mercy in Loss Isaiah 57:1 (NIV) "The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; the devout are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil." In Isaiah 51:1 Isaiah declares the fate of the righteous, they perish, and it goes unnoticed or misunderstood by people. We often mourn the loss of the righteous without realizing that their departure might be a merciful act from God. He spares them from future evils and suffering that they might otherwise endure. In life’s journey there are times when the events around us seem to challenge our understanding. One such perplexing event is the untimely passing of those who live righteously. Isaiah 57:1 provides a profound insight into God’s wisdom and timing, reminding us that there is a greater purpose behind what we perceive as loss. My own experience is the untimely passing of one of my most precious gift from God, my eighteen-year-old so...
