There are moments in life when we begin to realize what it truly means to be a Love Missionary… that every word we speak carries something from within us into the heart of another… in a deeply meaningful and life-giving way.
And when our hearts have been loved, healed, and filled by DaddyGod… those words begin to carry His love, His goodness, and His healing into the lives of others. This is how Love Missions begin… and how Love is multiplied from one heart to another.
In the House of Love, this is something the Child of Love is learning… through a gentle, heart-to-heart conversation with Love Himself.
And now… just come and sit with them for these next few moments… as we step inside the House of Love… and listen to a gentle, heart-to-heart conversation between Love Himself and the Child of Love.
The Child of Love sits close beside Love Himself, near enough to feel His presence wrap around her like a quiet embrace. She looks up at Him thoughtfully and asks, “Father of Love… is it really true that every word I speak carries something from my heart into someone else’s?”
Love Himself smiles gently, the kind of smile that feels like it understands everything before it’s even spoken. “Yes, My Child… every word you release carries what it was born from. Words formed in Love carry Love… and words formed in wounds carry wounds.”
She grows quiet, letting that settle inside her. “Father of Love… I only want to speak what comes from You…”
His hand rests softly over her heart. “And that is the invitation, My Child… transformation. When your heart rests in Mine, your words begin to sound like Me… because they’ve been born from Love. My Love is GOOD… and when My Love fills your heart, goodness will naturally overflow through your words.”
She feels something beginning to shift within her, gentle but real. “Father of Love… hurtful words… they don’t come from You, do they?”
His voice remains steady and kind. “No, My Child. Words that wound, divide, accuse, shame, or that tear others down do not come from My heart. They come from places still hurting… still unseen… from the inner places of others still needing Love.”
Her eyes lower slightly, recognizing something within herself. “Then when people speak that way… it means their hearts are hurting?”
He nods. “Yes… unhealed wounds will speak until they are healed. Pain that has not been loved will try to express itself through words.”
A quiet compassion begins to rise in her. “Then Father of Love… I don’t want to add pain on top of pain to anyone…”
His smile warms as He rests His hand on her heart. “And you won’t, My Child, as you let Me love you right there. Remember, a heart fully given to My Love becomes a place where healing begins, not harm. When you allow Me to heal your heart, your words will begin to heal others.”
She places her hand over her chest, feeling something alive there. “Is this how Love multiplies?”
He leans a little closer, His voice soft but full of life. “Yes… this is how Love multiplies. One healed heart begins to speak healing, and those words plant life in other hearts.”
She leans in, drawn by what she’s beginning to understand. “Then… this is a mission, isn’t it?”
A gentle light fills His expression. “It is, My Child… it’s a Love Mission. To love unreservedly and unconditionally with the same Love I have poured into you.”
Her voice softens. “Father of Love… I want to live like that. I want my words to carry Your heart…”
His hand remains over hers. “Then let every word you speak first rest in My Love. Let it be softened, healed, and filled by My Love before it is given to others.”
She asks quietly, “And when I do that… what will happen?”
His answer comes like a promise already unfolding. “You will begin to see it… relationships growing, not breaking. Hearts opening, not closing. Love increasing, not diminishing. You will see My Love multiplying through you.”
Tears rise gently in her eyes. “Father of Love… is this what it means to be a Love Missionary?”
He answers simply, “Yes… a heart that has received My Love and cannot help but give it.”
She presses her hand to her heart. “Then take my whole heart, Father of Love… heal every place in me, so that every word I speak carries You.”
His voice softens even more. “I already am, My Child…”
And in that moment, something sacred is sealed heart2heart… not through striving, but through surrender.
In the House of Love, this is how Love Missions begin… not by trying harder, but by being loved deeper. And from that place, words are no longer just spoken… they become songs of Love carried from one heart into another.
Love Himself gently calls her forward. “Come, My Child… there are hearts waiting for us…”
Child of Love:“What is this I’m feeling…? It feels like… something inside me is being held.”
Love Himself turns toward you, His eyes warm, kind, and full of knowing.
Love Himself:“My beloved… that is Me… holding you on the inside. My love is within you, gently holding every part of your heart. I am patient with you, and I am kind toward you, because I am love.”
You sit beside Him on the deep crimson Seat of Love, and something inside you begins to soften.
His words settle deep in your heart, just like His living Word says, “Love is patient, love is kind” (1 Corinthians 13:4, NKJV).
Child of Love:“It feels… easy to be here with You.”
Love Himself:“It is safe to be with Me.”
You begin to notice your heartbeat… and then something even more beautiful happens.
Child of Love:“It feels like Your heart is so close to mine… like I can feel Your love moving inside of me.”
Love Himself gently places His hand over His heart.
Love Himself:“My love is alive within you. Nothing can come between you and My love.”
Your heart hears it, not just as words, but as truth, echoing gently within you… “Absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love” (Romans 8:39, MSG).
Child of Love:“You really know me… don’t You?”
Love Himself:“I know every part of your heart. Even the quiet places. Even the places that have been hurt.”
You hesitate for a moment… then whisper,
Child of Love:“Those places… they don’t always feel safe with others.”
Love Himself:“I know. There are places within you that only My love can reach.”
You begin to feel it… His love moving deeper… gently… carefully… right into those hidden places.
Child of Love:“It feels like something inside me is softening…”
Love Himself:“That is My love… kind, safe, and full of understanding.”
You close your eyes for a moment, feeling His presence surrounding those tender places within you.
Child of Love:“What happens when something inside me is hurting?”
Love Himself:“I come close to that place. Just like your body sends help where it is needed… My love moves to where your heart is hurting.”
You feel it… right there… in that very place… warm… present… alive.
Child of Love:“You’re right there…”
Love Himself:“I am with you always.” (Matthew 28:20, NKJV)
This time… it doesn’t feel like something you are trying to believe.
It feels real.
You sit quietly beside Him, your heart resting.
Child of Love:“This feeling… this hug on the inside… will it go away?”
Love Himself gently turns toward you.
Love Himself:“My beloved… this is not something that comes and goes. It is Me… alive within you. I do not leave you. I am always holding you… right here.”
Something deep inside you settles into that truth.
You sit with Him a little longer, then ask,
Child of Love:“What happens when I’m with someone else… and they’re hurting?”
Love Himself:“You will feel My love rise up within you toward them. The same love you are receiving… will begin to reach them through you.”
You pause… taking that in.
Child of Love:“So… it doesn’t stop with me?”
Love Himself:“No, My beloved. My love flows. From Me… to you… and through you.”
Something awakens inside you.
Child of Love:“And through me…”
Love Himself smiles.
Love Himself:“Yes. A holy hug… given heart to heart.”
You sit there, letting it all settle…
Then you whisper one more question.
Child of Love:“Are You still holding me… even now?”
Love Himself leans close, His presence wrapping around your heart.
Love Himself:“I have never stopped.”
And right there…
You feel it again…
That gentle… warm… living… holy hug on the inside…
There’s a place inside the House of Love… a room where your heart can finally exhale. It’s called the Safe Feelings Room. And this is not a place where you are corrected, or told to be stronger, or reminded that you should be over it by now. This is not a place where you have to hide what is really going on inside of you. This is a place where you can be real.
Where every feeling is allowed to come close without being rushed, without being silenced, and without being made smaller so it’s easier for someone else to hold. You don’t have to change what you feel here. You don’t have to rename it, soften it, or dress it up. What you feel matters.
And in this room, there is a table… a prepared place. A table of love where nothing has to knock, and nothing is left outside waiting to be invited in. Every feeling… every emotion… already has a seat. Every part of your heart is already welcome.
And as you sit there, something begins to shift. What once felt overwhelming, confusing, or even a little frightening doesn’t feel the same when it is no longer hidden. Here, your feelings don’t feel like enemies. They feel like something that came carrying a message… something that has been trying to be seen, to be known, to be understood.
Fear may come and sit beside you, quietly, almost hesitant at first. And when it is finally given space to speak, you hear it say, “I wasn’t trying to control you… I was trying to protect you. I saw what hurt you before, and I didn’t want you to feel that again.” And something inside of you softens, because fear was never trying to be your enemy… it was trying to guard something tender within you.
Sorrow sits nearby, heavy but no longer hidden. And when sorrow finally lifts its eyes and speaks, it whispers, “I am here because something mattered… because something touched your heart deeply. I stayed because I didn’t want that to be forgotten.” And you begin to feel it… that sorrow is not emptiness… it is evidence that your heart has loved.
Grief sits in that deeper place at the table, the seat that feels sacred. And when grief is finally allowed to speak, it doesn’t rush. It gently says, “I carry what was precious. I hold what was loved. I am not here to take from you… I am here because love was here first.” And suddenly, that ache doesn’t feel like something to run from… it feels like something to honor.
Across the table, anger sits… not loud now, not overwhelming, just present. And when anger is finally heard without being judged, it says, “I rose up because something wasn’t right. Because something in you deserved care… respect… protection. I was trying to show you that you matter.” And instead of pushing it away, you begin to understand it.
And as each feeling is finally heard, something sacred begins to happen. The child within you, the part that once felt unseen, unheard, and misunderstood, begins to lean in, not in fear, but in recognition. Because these feelings… they were carrying pieces of your story. And now, as they speak, it’s as if those pieces are no longer scattered… they begin to come back together, not as something broken, but as something being made whole.
And there, at the table, with Love Himself present, holding the space, something even deeper unfolds. There is no tension, no pressure, no need to fix anything. Just a gentle joining, where what you felt, what you carried, what you didn’t understand before begins to come into harmony. And you realize your feelings were never trying to pull you apart… they were waiting to be brought into love. And here, in His presence, they are.
As you sit there, something settles even deeper within you. These feelings are not here to take over you. They are visitors. They may come, they may sit, they may speak, but they do not stay forever. Fear may visit, but you are not becoming fear. Sorrow may sit with you, but you are not becoming sorrow. Anger may speak, but it does not get to define who you are. You are learning something sacred here. You are learning to become Love.
And as that truth begins to rest in your heart, you realize something even more beautiful. You are not the one visiting this room. You belong here. The House of Love… this place where your heart is known… this place where nothing in you is turned away… this is your Home.
You don’t have to earn your place here. You don’t have to pretend to stay. You don’t have to hide parts of yourself to remain. You can take off the mask. You can lay down the pretending. You can be real… and still be held.
The feelings may come and go, but you remain. You have a place here… a permanent place. And even if it takes time for your heart to fully rest into that truth, Love is patient. Love is kind. Love does not fail to be love. So you will not be turned away. You will not be pushed out. You will not lose your place. Because this… is your Home.
And here in the Safe Feelings Room, nothing is rushed and nothing is rejected. Every feeling is invited to be known, gently held, and then released in its time. But you… you are the one who always belongs.
So if your heart feels full today, or tender, or unsure, come sit for a while. Let yourself feel what you feel without shrinking it, without changing it, and without hiding it. You don’t have to pretend here. You don’t have to be anything other than real. There is a place for you here. You belong here.
You are not too much. You are not wrong for feeling. You are not wrong for not feeling okay. You are being gently led back to yourself by Love… and held in Love as you do.
And if something in your heart is stirring, if something is asking to be felt or spoken or brought into the light, you don’t have to hold that alone. You can bring it to Love Himself just as you are, with no preparing, no fixing, and no getting it right.
And if your heart needs someone you can see and hear, there are safe places, safe people, where your heart can be held in that same love. And this House of Love does not end here. It continues. It lives, and breathes, and remains open to you… a place where your heart can return again and again, where you are met, where you are known, where you are loved.
And I am here too, not above you and not ahead of you, but with you. As someone who has felt deeply, walked through healing, and been met by Love in the middle of it all. What Love has done in me, what has been healed, what has been restored has been opened and shared so your heart would have a place like this too.
So if something in you feels seen here, if something in you feels understood, then maybe this space has been waiting for you… a Heart2Heart, a living, breathing House of Love where Love Himself meets you, and where you never have to walk alone. Ever 🤍
Heart2Heart in His Love,

Worship is Love responding to Love… it is the gentle exchange between your heart and His, the place where being with Him becomes the expression itself, where something inside you begins to respond simply because you are with Love Himself.
There is a House of Love within your heart… the home of His heart inside of you. It is where Love Himself lives, where He dwells, where His presence fills the space within you with warmth, peace, and belonging. And you live there too… not as a visitor, but as one who already belongs. The House of Love and your heart are not separate places… they are one living, breathing place within you.
Within this House of Love, there are moments when you become aware of Him in a deeper way, moments when you can feel that He sees you and understands what is going on inside your heart. He knows what you have been carrying, what has been making you feel heavy, what has been on your mind, and He knows your heart and your desire to be with Him, heart to heart.
And in those moments, you begin to hear Him calling to you, “Come up here…” His voice moves through the House of Love within you, and something in your heart recognizes it and gently follows. As your attention turns toward Him, you begin to notice a staircase softly lit within, with Lanterns of Love lining each step of the staircase, glowing with a gentle, living Holy flame of Love. That light is His Presence, shining the way for you.
On that staircase, Love Himself is already there, having come near to you. His eyes meet yours with kindness and love, as if He is so glad to see you… as if this moment matters deeply to Him. And again, you hear Him say, “Come up here…” There is something in His voice that feels like a warm embrace around your heart, something that draws you closer. As you respond, something inside you begins to awaken, like a gentle flame in your heart being softly lit by His Presence.
You begin to walk with Him, step by step, and He is with you right there, the lanterns of Love lighting the way, His Presence surrounding you. With each step, your heart begins to soften and settle, and your awareness rests more fully on Him… until everything else fades and all you feel is His nearness… and your heart responding.
As you walk with Him, you enter the UpperRoom of your heart… a sacred and holy place within you. This UpperRoom is where your heart meets Heart2Heart with your Abba, your DaddyGod… where you are held, where you are known, where you are loved without condition… where you can rest, and where He stays with you as you heal, as you mend, and as you come closer and deeper into His heart.
Everything you experience here… the warmth, the peace, the comfort… it all comes from Love Himself. He is the warmth that surrounds you, the peace that settles within you, and the comfort that gently holds every place in you that has been hurting.
And here… something begins to shift in the way you understand worship.
You begin to realize that what is happening between you and Him right now… this quiet, sacred, heart2heart exchange… this is worship.
Not something created from the outside… not something dependent on what is happening around you… but something alive within you. Because worship does not need external influence to become real… it is already living inside of you, waiting for your heart to respond to His.
Here in the UpperRoom of your heart, you meet Love Himself face2face… heart2heart… soul2soul… spirit2spirit… and what happens between you and Him here… this is what matters most.
Because Love Himself always works from the inside out. And what is formed in this sacred place within you… is what you carry with you into the world.
Worship begins to feel different here… it is no longer just a song you are singing… it becomes your story. When the lyrics begin to align with your Godstory… with what you have walked through… with what He has healed… with what He has carried you through… suddenly it is no longer just melody… it is your life… being expressed back to Him. And something about that kind of worship… it touches His heart… and it transforms yours.
There is something so deeply beautiful about choosing this place… this UpperRoom within your heart… not in a way that separates from others, and not in a way that judges what happens around you… but in a way that gently recognizes that what happens within you with Him… is the most real, most intimate, most life-changing place of all.
Because here… you are not trying to create a moment… you are simply with Him. And in this being with Him… worship becomes a beautiful exchange. You give Him your heart… your attention… your love… your presence… and what He gives you in return… is Himself. His peace begins to settle where there was unrest… His lightness lifts what felt heavy… His comfort wraps around what was hurting… His truth gently replaces every lie… and His love fills you in ways nothing external ever could.
And what is poured into you here… does not stay here. It becomes what you carry. It becomes how you love others… how you see them… how you respond… how you bring His heart into the world around you.
What happens in the Holy, sacred place of the UpperRoom of your heart fills you with everything you need… to love others the way He loves you… and even more deeply… to carry His Kingdom of Love from His heart… into yours… and from your heart… into the hearts of others.
This is Heart2Heart worship.
It is not something you visit… it becomes something that lives inside of you… so that how you live… how you love… how you move through your life… flows from what you have experienced with Him… internally… externally… and eternally.
And in this place… you come to know… not just in words, but in your own personal experience with Love Himself that…
Worship has always been…
Love responding to Love.
Heart2Heart in His Love,
Momo Smiley
Worship this pure is just the most beautiful invitation to rest at the feet of Love Himself ~ Jesus. I don’t need anything more than this. This right here…brings my heart front and center to the only place that matters with the One who matters most!! Nothing more needed than just pure, honest worship like this…how very beautiful and heart touching…
“The kingdom of God is within you.” Luke 17:21
The Upper Room is not far away… it is already within you. This is where Love Himself meets you, and where His Kingdom of Love begins to flow through your heart into the world.
“Be still, and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10
In the quiet of the Upper Room, you are not striving… you are resting. And in that stillness, your heart becomes aware of Him, and worship gently rises as love responding to Love.
“Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.” James 4:8
Every step you take toward Him on that staircase of Love… He is already coming toward you. This is not about reaching Him… it’s about responding to the One who is already near.
“Deep calls to deep…” Psalm 42:7
This is the sound of your heart calling to His… and His heart calling to yours. In the Upper Room, this deep-to-deep connection becomes your worship—something words alone could never express.
“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted…” Psalm 34:18
You don’t have to wait until you feel whole to come. The Upper Room is where healing happens… where even your tears become prayers He understands completely.
“My peace I give to you…” John 14:27
What you receive in the Upper Room… you carry. His peace fills your heart from the inside out, and becomes what you bring into every place and every person you encounter.
“Those who look to Him are radiant…” Psalm 34:5
As you sit with Love Himself, something begins to change within you. His light becomes your light… and what happens in secret begins to shine through your life.
“Freely you have received; freely give.” Matthew 10:8
What He pours into you in that sacred and holy exchange… doesn’t stay there. The love you receive becomes the love you carry, and the love you give.
“Christ lives in you…” Galatians 2:20
The House of Love is not separate from you… He lives within you. Worship is no longer something you do… it becomes who you are as you live in union with Love Himself.

This is a Heart2Heart story… a gentle picture of what Love Himself is like, drawn from the truths of Scripture, so your heart can rest in His love as you listen. These Love Lessons are told in story form… not new words from Jesus, but a tender reflection of the way Scripture shows Love Himself caring for His children. This story is simply meant to help your heart feel the way His love feels… soft, safe, healing, and true. Hear Him with me as I hear Love Himself whispering to our hearts…
My Child of Love… come sit with Me… right here where your heart can hear Mine. I want to show you something… something gentle… something true. I want you to watch how I love others… how I speak to them… how I hold their hearts… because as you listen, your own heart is learning. These are your Love Notes… written quietly inside you as I speak.
When I speak to someone… I speak kindly. I speak gently. I speak in ways that help their heart feel safe. I never use mean or hurtful words. I never make someone feel small. I never remind them of the things they wish they could forget. I never use their struggles against them. I never tease them or embarrass them or make them feel ashamed. I speak in ways that help them feel lighter… calmer… braver… and more loved. This is how I love… and as you listen, your heart is learning to love this way too. In My House… Love is spoken here.
When someone is hurting… I am soft with them. When someone is scared… I speak peace to them. When someone feels ashamed… I cover them with kindness. When someone is trying to heal… I protect the tender places. I do not poke at their wounds. I do not bring up what hurts them. I do not make them relive what broke them. I hold their heart gently… the way you would hold something precious that could easily be hurt. This is how I love… and as you listen, your heart is learning to love this way too. In My House… Love is spoken here.
When someone tells Me their secrets… I keep them safe. I never tell their private stories to others. I never use what they trusted Me with to hurt them. I never add more pain to the pain they already carry. I never drag them back through the things they survived. I never make them feel the hurt all over again. I protect their heart… because their heart matters to Me. This is how I love… and as you listen, your heart is learning to love this way too. In My House… Love is spoken here.
And My child… I know you have been hurt by people you trusted… people who should have loved you well… people who should have spoken to you with kindness… people who should have protected your heart instead of wounding it. I want you to hear Me… I never agreed with the way they treated you. I never blessed their behavior. I never told them to speak to you that way. I never told them to handle your heart with anything less than love. What they did was not love… and it was not Me.
But even after all of that… your heart still wants to love like I love. You still want to be My Love to others. You still pray for the ones who hurt you. You still hope for their healing. And that tenderness in you… that compassion… that desire to love even when you have been wounded… that is My Love alive inside you. That is My heart beating in yours.
You do not have to trust those who hurt you. You do not have to stay close to those who wounded your heart. Safe distance is not unloving… it is wisdom. You can pray for them from afar. You can bless them without giving them access to your heart. You can love them without letting them hurt you again. This is love too… the kind of love that protects your heart while still hoping for theirs.
So as you take these Love Notes into your heart… remember this… you are learning from Me. You are learning how to speak… how to care… how to protect… how to love with a heart that heals, not a heart that harms. You are learning to be a Heart2Heart friend because you are learning from Love Himself. And every time you choose kindness… every time you choose gentleness… every time you choose compassion… you are choosing to love the way I love. In My House… Love is spoken here.
“And never let ugly or hateful words come from your mouth, but instead let your words become beautiful gifts that encourage others…” My child… this is how I speak to you… and as you listen, your heart is learning to speak with beauty and kindness too.
“Kind words are like honey… sweet to the soul and healing to the body.” Let your heart feel this… My words to you are always sweet… always gentle… always healing… and your heart is learning sweetness from Mine.
“A gentle answer turns away anger, but harsh words stir up hurt.” Feel My gentleness… this is how I protect your heart… and as you listen, your heart is learning gentleness from Me.
“Let your words always be full of grace…” Breathe in My grace… let it fill you… let it shape the way you speak… the way you love… the way you respond… your heart is learning grace from Mine.
“Above all, love each other deeply, for love covers a multitude of wrongs.” Rest in this… My Love covers you… shields you… protects you… and as you listen, your heart is learning to cover others with the same tenderness.
My Child of Love… come here… let Me hold you for a moment. Let Me place My hands gently on each side of your face… the way I touch what is precious to Me. Look at Me… let your heart feel how deeply you belong to Love. You have listened so closely… you have let My words settle inside you… and I want you to feel this blessing not just in your mind, but in the softest places of your heart.
I bless your heart with peace… the kind that quiets the storms inside you. I bless your heart with rest… the kind that lets you breathe again. I bless your heart with truth… the kind that reminds you that you are safe in My Love.
And now, My child… I place My hand upon the top of your head… gently… tenderly… the way a loving Father blesses His beloved one. Feel My hand there… warm, steady, covering you with My presence. I speak healing into every place that has been hurt… every place that has been confused… every place that has been wounded by unkind words or unloving actions. Let My Love settle there… let it mend what was broken… let it soothe what was sore… let it bring peace where there was fear.
And hear this, little one… you are not only healed by My Love… you are carried by My Love… and now you are sent in My Love. You carry My gentleness. You carry My kindness. You carry My compassion. You carry My heart. You do not have to stay close to those who hurt you… but you can still pray for them… still hope for their healing… still shine My Love from a safe place.
You are My Child of Love… and I am sending you into the world with a heart that heals, not a heart that harms… a heart that speaks life, not pain… a heart that reflects Mine. Go in My Love… walk in My Love… speak in My Love… and remember always…
Your heart was made for Love… not judgment. Be kind to your heart and release people from your judgments… because judgment is a relationship killer. When you judge others, you don’t just hurt them… you hurt yourself. To the degree that you make someone else’s behavior about you in a negative way, to that same degree you bring pain and heartache into your own heart.
Judgment doesn’t just break relationships… it breaks hearts. It shuts doors. It closes rooms inside of you that were meant to stay open — rooms of trust, tenderness, and connection. But when someone you love starts hurting you with their own unhealed wounds, those rooms begin to close. And when that happens, it becomes so easy to slip into judgment… not realizing that judgment is only adding more pain to the pain you already feel.
Judgment feels like protection, but it’s actually a wall that keeps healing out. It’s a reaction to heartbreak, not a solution to it. And the more you judge, the more your own heart aches — because judgment doesn’t heal… it only hardens.
Judgment is the language of fear… and fear always divides. But Love… Love Himself… the Father of Love… the Heart Healer… speaks a different language… the language of Love. Love builds bridges where judgment builds walls. Love restores what judgment tears down. Love is the Heart Builder… the Heart Mender… the Heart Repairer. And when you begin to hear His Love language again, something inside you softens and helps you remember who you truly are.
This is why experiencing and healing with the Father’s Love from the inside out matters… and it counts a whole lot in relationship with yourself and others. When you choose His Love, you become a relationship builder… a heart builder. Standing up for your friends and defending them in their presence and in their absence is heart building. Speaking the better word to and about someone in their presence or absence is heart building. Looking for the gold in someone… especially when it would be easier to point out the dirt you see or know about them… is heart building. That’s what strengthens relationships… that’s what makes them come alive and stay alive. And the more you practice this, the more natural it becomes to live from Love instead of judgment.
As the Father of Love heals you from the inside out, something beautiful begins to happen. You learn to Love yourself and others with His Perfect Love and this sets you free. You learn to release people from all judgments, including yourself. You learn to be free from all judgments toward your own heart, and love others with the Father of Love’s heart. Your learn to see others … and yourself… through His eyes of Love. This is where healing begins to take root.
And here’s the truth in Love… when you truly stop judging yourself, you will stop judging others. When you see and think of yourself rightly… in agreement with the Father of Love’s view and opinion of you, which is your reality… you will begin to see and think about others rightly… the way Love Himself sees and thinks about you. When you love yourself with His Perfect Love, you will love others with His Perfect Love. Immediately fear will shrink… evaporate… evacuate… and poof… be gone. And with fear gone, Love has room to breathe again.
You cannot be free from judging others unless you are first free from judging yourself. So much self judgment… and judgment toward others… comes from not believing that you and others have been made in our Good, Good Father’s identity, worth, and value. You are able to love with Perfect Love because you were created in His Perfect Love. That’s who you are… perfectly loved by His Perfect Love. And when you remember this, judgment loses its grip on you.
And when this truth begins to settle in your heart, something shifts inside your heart. This is why judgment cannot stay where Love is healing. As the Heart Healer fills you, it becomes impossible to keep judging yourself… and impossible to keep judging others. His Love frees your heart to breathe again… to see clearly again… and to love without fear again. Healing always begins with seeing yourself through His eyes.
And here’s another layer of freedom… His Love also pulls the plug on your victim mentality. You begin to see others’ bad behavior choices as a reflection of their unhealed wounds. I learned during my healing journey this powerful truth. People do the things they do… or say… because of them… not you. Out of the abundance of their heart their mouth speaks… good or not so good. Out of the abundance of their unhealed heart they will act… think… speak… and behave. And when you understand this, you stop taking their behavior personally.
And when I ever speak of our Know Nots, I’m talking about something the Father of Love has shown me over and over again… some people truly do not know how their unloving behavior and words hurt others. They don’t know to the degree it hurts others. They are so wounded… so unhealed… so unaware… that they have no clue how their unloving words and actions damage hearts and relationships. They play the victim as if it’s everyone else… and they don’t see their part or own their part. They blame others while carrying a big ole log in their own eyes… and then accuse others for the specks they imagine caused their unloving reactions. And when you see this clearly, compassion rises up inside of you not wanting them to hurt inside but without excusing their hurtful behavior you or someone else you love has been hurt by.
Some Know Nots act as if they do not know but they know exactly what they’re doing and keep acting unloving anyway… which is still a sign they need deep healing. Some pretend they don’t know so they don’t have to take responsibility. And some truly have no clue how their dysfunctional… toxic… unloving behavior keeps killing their relationships and hurting even the very people they say they love. And this is why wisdom and boundaries matter so much.
Jesus forgave people of their Know Nots… therefore we are encouraged to forgive too. So forgive, yes. But forgiveness does not mean automatically giving them access to your heart to keep hurting you. The Father of Love is not asking you to let someone repeatedly wound you in the name of forgiveness. The most you can do is know your part… own your part… heal your part… and let them work out their healing vertically with the Father of Love. You cannot fix what only He can heal inside of them. And this truth should help to bring peace to your heart.
Before they can heal, they have to see their part… and then know how their unhealed wounds are causing destruction in their relationships. They need to know how to be loving… know how they shouldn’t be justifying their bad behavior or unkind words…know how to see others through His eyes of love… know how to speak and act with His Love. They cannot give to anyone else something they do not know… something they have never personally experienced in their own heart. And until they do, their bad behavior will continue to reflect their unhealed places. Meanwhile, you are still trying to heal your part with God. So, give each of your heart’s good healing time with the Father of Love first…that’s where you begin right now…
Their behavior will not change just because they say “I’m sorry.” I mean that’s nice to hear, but actions speak louder as they say. There should be proof of true heart change that comes with an apology. It’s not an overnight job to heal the wounds that have been there since you were a child or for a while. God is able to do anything, but your heart first has to be willing… willing to see the truth so it can set you free and then do the healing HeArtwork inside of you for lasting proof and change. The one that hurt you might genuinely feel bad for hurting you at the beginning or embarrassed others saw or heard about what they did… but that doesn’t mean or prove they’ve healed or wouldn’t do something hurtful to you again. They have to first heal the unhealed places inside their heart that contributed to their unloving behavior and speech. They also cannot give or share something with you they do not have… something they have never received from the Father of Love. They need the Love Teacher Himself… the Heart Healer… to give them Love Lessons and heal their inner wounds. And until that happens, loving wisdom must guide your every step.
Otherwise, it will set you up for a repeat of getting hurt again. Until they heal what is hurting them… they will likely hurt you again. They cannot give you something they do not know… do not understand… and have not experienced. And if they keep hurting you even after they do know…or keep justifying their unloving ways of speaking to you or about you… that is a clear sign they have more healing to do… and you need to make a wise and emotionally safe choice for your own heart. You do not have to put yourself in close relational access with someone who keeps re wounding you. Wisdom is not rejection… it is protection. And Love always protects.
And here’s something else the Father of Love has been teaching my heart… there is no revenge or vindictive energy in me. None. I genuinely pray and hope that those who have hurt me… or hurt others I love… will heal from whatever taught them or convinced them that it was okay to treat me or other people that way. I don’t want them punished… I want them healed. I want them to know the Father of Love… the Heart Healer… the Heart Mender… the One who can repair the places in them that their hurtful behavior comes from. And this desire for their healing keeps your heart and my heart soft.
But until they heal… until they get a different heart set and mind set… until they learn not to treat others in hurtful ways… you may need to give yourself some relational safe space from them. Not as punishment… not as rejection… but as wisdom. Safe space is not cutting people off… it’s protecting and preserving the peace and healing you’ve found in the Father of Love’s Love. It’s refusing to enable unloving behavior. Love does not enable what is unloving. Love protects. Love guards the heart. Love honors the healing the Father of Love has begun in you. And this is how you love yourself well.
Your greatest act of Love is not to let them keep hurting you… your greatest act of Love is to pray for them… to bless them… and to give them the healing space they need with the Father of Love so He can heal their Know Nots and unhealed wounds… the very places their hurtful words and actions come from. You are not abandoning them… you are entrusting them to the only One who can truly heal them. And entrusting is an act of Love.
You are not a victim. You are a Victor in Christ Jesus. So keep on healing from the inside out. The more you see… become aware of… and heal… the more you will not make their issues about you. They won’t be able to play you like before. The most loving thing you can do for them is pray for them… that they will come to know… see… and experience the healing Love of God from the inside out. And as you heal, you will see clearly again.
And hear this loving truth gently… the Father of Love is sorry for how they have hurt you. But He wants you to be free from letting them make their bad behavior your responsibility. Only Love Himself… the Heart Repairer… can fix what is hurting inside of them that causes them to hurt others… and you. You just keep working on your part with the Father of Love… healing your Know Nots with His beautiful healing Love. And in that healing, you will find peace.
And if you’ve been hurt, know this gently… Child of Love… you are worth consistently and genuinely being treated with kindness… respect… honor… and value. You always were… maybe you just didn’t know it or believe it. Maybe you didn’t know it because there were those people who told you in your life they loved you but misrepresented the Father’s love and kind of love to you. Only you and the Father of love know the answers. If you’ve armored up your heart, it’s time to disarm. As you receive His Love, His Love will free you to love yourself with His Love… to love others (including those who have wounded and hurt you) and to receive His Love from those who are still in your life who represent His love well to you. He will show you how to love… and how to be loved. And this is where your heart begins to bloom again.
I know it’s easy to lock up your heart quickly, but instead, invite the Heart Healer in today. Let Him go into the places you haven’t let anyone back into. Let His Love teach you. Let His Love highlight His Kingdom Lovers… those who have encountered and experienced His healing Love and will love you beyond your imagination… and will never want to hurt you. And when you meet them, you will recognize them by the fruit of Love in their lives.
Once you let the Heart Healer in, let the healing and blooming begin. Then enjoy His Love gifts… His friends, too… who will know how to love you with His Life… His Light… and His Love. Kingdom Lovers… keep keepin’ your Love on.

The Child of Love stepped toward the cabin like house with a quiet, receiving breath… drawn by a longingv they could no longer ignore. They didn’t yet understand why their heart felt drawn here… only that something inside them recognized this place felt like home before their mind did. As they walked up the Lantern of Love lit pathway leading to the House of Love, it seemed as if the air itself became easier to breathe. When they reached the door, Love Himself was already standing there… smiling with pleasure… so happy to see them. His hand rested gently on the wooden door frame as He welcomed them inside… and in that moment the Child of Love realized this was no ordinary door. When Love Himself opened it… it wasn’t just wood and hinges that moved… the door was His Heart opening wide. The warm glow spilling from inside was not merely firelight and candlelight… it was the glow and radiance of His welcome home smile… the invitation of the Father of Love making room in the Home of His Heart for His Child of Love.
Stepping across the threshold felt like stepping inside something living… something breathing. The wooden floors received every footstep in warm recognition… as though the House of Love itself whispered… you belong here.
Everywhere the Child of Love looked, warm, rich colors wrapped the room in a gentle embrace… deep browns… amber glows… golden flickers from the fire… and the deep crimson red that seemed to pulse with the heartbeat of Love Himself. The air carried the scent of homegrown love mingled with something sweeter… something like belonging. The Child of Love understood… even without words… that this house was not built from timber and stone but from the very essence of Love Himself… they were inside the Home of His Heart.
Love Himself now stood near the fireplace… His Presence filling the room with a steady warmth that reached deeper than the flames. He didn’t rush toward the Child of Love… He simply opened His heart wider… letting His child feel His loving invitation without a single word spoken. This was His Home… the Home of His Heart… and all who entered were welcomed not as visitors but as family… His Family of Love. The Child of Love felt the truth of everything they were seeing and sensing settle over them like a soft Comforter’s blanket. They were not here to earn a place… they were here because He had already prepared this special place for them. Their given name, Child of Love, was not a title of age but of Identity… the special name given to anyone who received the invitation and stepped inside His Heart and became part of the Family of Love.
The Child of Love took a few slow steps into the room… letting their eyes adjust to the warm glow… letting their heart adjust to the welcome. They looked around quietly… taking in the rich, warm colors… the flickering fire… the wooden beams that felt alive with warmth… the fragrance in the air that seemed to breathe with them. Everything in the room felt intentional… personal… prepared. It felt like a place made for them… a place that had been waiting for them.
The fragrance deepened as they breathed it in… subtle yet unmistakable… unlike anything they had ever known. It wasn’t floral… nor sweet… nor earthy… yet it carried hints of all that was good and pure. It was warm like the fire… gentle like a whisper… deep like a memory the soul never forgot. Love Himself watched the child sense it… and His smile softened. This is the fragrance of Love… He said without speaking… and the child understood that this fragrance was not created by candles or spices or the burning logs in the fireplace. It was the very essence of the One who welcomed them… the fragrant scent of the Father of Love… the Son of Love… and the Holy Comforter of Love… three in perfect unity… filling the Home of His Heart with the aroma of who They are.
The fragrance carried the strength of the Father’s embrace… the compassion of the Son’s nearness… the comfort of the Spirit’s gentle presence. It was made of everything Love is… mercy… kindness… truth… holiness… joy… peace… patience… tenderness… and the fierce devotion of a God who refuses to let His children remain outside in the cold. Every breath the child took felt like inhaling belonging… every exhale felt like releasing the weight they had carried for far too long.
Love Himself watched them quietly… giving them time… giving them space… because the Father of Love… the Son of Love… and the Holy Comforter of Love are Gentlemen. They do not pressure… force… coerce… guilt… shame… condemn… or frighten anyone into coming closer. Love does not manipulate. Love does not demand. Love does not corner the heart. Love invites… welcomes… receives… gives… opens… and makes room. The Home of His Heart was spacious… open… wide enough to hold every heart that would ever come home… and intimate enough to hold each one as though they were the only one.
When the moment was right… Love Himself extended His hand toward the ornate velvet crimson red seat near the fireplace… the Seat of Love… wide enough for two… soft enough to cradle a weary soul… crafted with reverence and decorated with tenderness. Come sit with Me… His heart whispered… and the Child of Love felt the invitation like a warm breeze moving through their spirit. They walked toward Him slowly… not out of fear… but out of awe… and when they sat beside Him… the Seat of Love… the Loveseat for two… seemed to embrace them both… as though it had been waiting their whole lifetime for this very Heart2Heart moment.
Love Himself turned toward the child… His Presence gentle… patient… comforting… and for a long moment He said nothing. He let His nearness speak first… let His Heart speak first… let Love speak first. The Child of Love felt the quiet comfort of His Presence settle into them… felt their breath easing… slowing… syncing… felt their heart soften… felt the achings inside begin to melt into Love in the warmth of His Presence. They didn’t know how to begin… but they didn’t need to. Love Himself always begins… and invites His children to join in His Love Song and Love Dance with His Heart.
He lifted His hand and rested it lightly over the child’s heart… not to take anything… not to fix anything… but to honor the sacredness of the special one He loved. His touch was gentle… reverent… because He was touching something priceless to His Heart. Child of My Heart… My Child of Love… He whispered… I have loved you with an everlasting Love… My Love has no beginning and no ending for you…
His healing words entered the child like Light… soft… steady… restoring.
You are not an afterthought… He continued… you are not a burden… you are not a mistake… you are not forgotten… you are not overlooked… you are not too much… and you are not not enough…
The child’s breath trembled… not from fear… but from the tenderness of being seen so deeply.
You are My delight… He said… My joy… My chosen one… My beloved… My Child of Love… I call you by name… you are Mine…
The fire flickered brighter… as though it was fully in agreement.
You carry worth that cannot be measured… He whispered… value that cannot be diminished… identity that cannot be stolen… because your identity is found in My Son… the Son of Love… and what He has spoken over you is eternal. Your identity is engraved upon My Heart… and your name is written like a Love‑signature upon My palms…
The Child of Love felt something blooming inside their heart… their whole being… something warm… something eternally alive… something like First Love awakening inside them for the very first time. And in that moment… the Child of Love understood the Father of Love’s Love… this was not just any love story… this was where… when… and how the Heart2Heart Lovestory between the Child of Love and Love Himself first begins. This was the birthplace of First Love… the moment their two hearts met face to face… Heart2Heart… without fear… without hesitation… and something holy between their two hearts was experienced.
You are cherished… He said… not because of what you do… but because of who you are to Me…
You are wanted… You are welcomed… You are Mine…
He leaned His forehead gently against the Child of Love… the closeness so deep… their hearts were now breathing together… as One…
My Love is your First Love… the Father of Love whispered… We love together because I first loved you… My Precious Love that has always been yours… My Love that called you before you knew My name… the Love that has always been here waiting for you… the Love that opens My Heart to you for you to receive and experience… the Love that rejoices over you with singing… the Love that makes us One… Heart2Heart…
The Child of Love felt their heart beginning to open wider… wider than they ever knew it could… and in that widening… something eternal blossomed… something so sweet and tender… something holy. First Love bloomed between them like the Perfect Rose from the Garden of Love’s Heart… a Love not based on a feeling… but a movement… a Love Revival… a holy experience rooted in the Truth of His Love Words… a true Heart2Heart connection and union… a Heart2Heart belonging that Love Himself promised could never be undone.
The Father of Love held the Child of Love so close… securely… freely… lovingly… compassionately and tenderly… the way only a Gentleman of Perfect Love can hold His precious Child of Love’s heart. This… He whispered… is where your Heart2Heart Lovestory… the story of our First Love… begins…
Jeremiah 31:3 — His everlasting Love that called you first
Isaiah 43:1 — His voice calling you by name, saying you are His Zephaniah 3:17 — His rejoicing over you with singing Isaiah 49:16 — your name engraved upon His palms 1 John 4:19 — the truth of First Love, that He loved you first Ephesians 3:17–19 — the wide, long, high, and deep Love that fills His Home Song of Songs 2:4 — His banner of Love over your life Psalm 139 — the tender knowing, seeing, and holding of your heart
May the smile of my soul rise like the morning dawn light here inside the House of Love… glowing through the warm windows of my heart… until my eyes become Love Lanterns of the Father of Love’s tenderness… so that when I see a sad heart… His Love through me can breathe rich, healing Love and joy over them… blooming dazzling light around them… like Love’s own sunlight spilling through open curtains… and releasing soft joy confetti into every shadowed room of their heart.
And friend… I see the sadness in your eyes right now. I feel the heaviness sitting in your heart. So if you feel even a little bit of this warmth… the warmth of Love Himself… you can come in here with us. This is His House of Love… the Home of His Heart. This is where His heart lives in us… and where our hearts live inside the Home of His Heart… Heart2Heart. And the Seat of Love is open for you, too. It’s right here. It’s real. And you can sit with us just as you are. Love 101 is simple… you just come as you are, and let Love be Love to you.
Welcome Love… come on inside.You… and anyone else who needs to feel the warmth of the Father of Love’s kindness and tenderness.Because here… sorrow and mourning flee away in the light of His Love each new morning.
Because this is what He promises…“Sorrow and mourning will disappear.”Isaiah 51:11 (NLT)
You will know the Lovers by their Love words! You are blessed when you choose to speak in love.
You are also blessed when you choose to turn the other cheek and be love by not returning hurtful words spoken to you. I have never ever seen any relationship go very well, be healthy or lasting when angry words are kept as an option and used to give someone a good hard lesson and a piece of their mind. Turning the other cheek also applies when someone slaps you with hurtful words.
How about giving them the gift of peace—peace of mind and peace of heart instead? That’s a lot more inviting than your rebuking, being condescending, demanding, pressuring, impatient, bossy, and being critical spirited. Your unloving approach is just as uninviting and unappealing and flat out a big “no thank you” to someone who has learned and now knows they aren’t going back or staying around for that kind of unloving mistreatment. They wouldn’t want to any more than a now‑freed once‑prisoner would want to go back into any kind of imprisonment and be expected to just take it, allow it, or stand for it.
Once you are free, you are free indeed. If you really want to reach someone who has been freed, who knows the difference between healthy and not healthy, loving and not loving, and who knows their worth and value and how they deserve to be spoken to, then choose to speak every word of your truth bathed in love.
Littering your written or verbal conversation with anger‑infused tones, words, and messages attacking the person (getting personal in a negative way) is not going to ever resolve anything. In fact, that is the worst thing you can do. You attacking them personally works against the possibility of your real needs ever being heard. The more negative and nasty you get, the more evident it will be that your words have been marinating in the fuel of your anger and you just set a flame to it with your tongue, negative and sarcastic attitude, and unloving, uninviting, unhealthy, and undesirable words and approach. That’s not going to ever work with someone who knows they deserve to be spoken to and treated with respect and honor. I don’t know one healthy person who allows or wants to be treated or charged like they are on trial as if they are some kind of less‑than the way you are speaking down to them.
You really can’t ever expect relationship wounds to be healed unless it is an environment forever free of this kind of toxicity. Although, you can expect relationship wounds to have the best chance of being healed in an emotionally, mentally, physically, spiritually loving and peaceful environment which altogether are most conducive to healing.
If all someone can hear is your anger and intended hurt—in your words and tone—they will never ever hear what your heart is really trying to say, nor will they hear your wants or needs. It all gets completely lost and tangled in all the noise of your anger.
Get yourself in a place of peace be still with God before you ever utter or write one word. If you keep trying old formulas and approaches trying to shake someone up to listen and feel the heat of your burning anger to emotionally pressure them with shaming, condemning, guilt‑tripping, and condescending words, how’s that working out for you now or when you were treated that way as a child by someone that was supposed to talk to you like they love you? The love way is the only way for a win‑win for everyone.
How do you expect anyone to really hear your heart and what you are hoping for if you cloud, corrupt, clutter, and complicate it with your angry words and unloving tones that have been marinating in your anger? It only adds more pain, injury, more sad or bad memories, craziness, yuckiness, and hurt on top of what is the real root of the issue that needs to be loved on.
Frankly, that is like trying to clean your yard and rake leaves into a pile but choosing to do so during a huge tornado or hurricane winds and trying to rake them up with a leaf blower. Not only is that bad timing, it’s unwise and a waste of time.
Your efforts in trying to clean up or resolve something that is bothering you during the storm of your anger only further litters everything around you. Add an unbridled tongue in there that is blowing off the heat of your anger all over the place and you’re going to have a bigger aftermath to clean up than you did before.
You add to the problem and work against yourself and the relationship by choosing tools while you are still angry and emotional that work against what you say or think you are trying to accomplish. Who would ever know you had good intentions in your heart for a peaceful outcome when both the storm of your anger and the aftermath it caused looks, sounds, and feels more like another Ground Zero site.
If you let your anger fuel your decisions in those moments you can expect more devastation and potentially a complete loss. You cannot solve problems with yourself and others by creating more problems with your angry, hurtful words. In doing so, you are setting yourself and the relationship in the line of fire and path of destruction. How very sad for you to choose what could be a great opportunity for healing, understanding, and building on that and turning it into an opportunity instead for you to lambaste and lecture someone with your explosive anger because your priority instead is to give them a good hard truth whipping with your tongue. Love must be the priority to create the best chance for healing, restoration, or reconciliation.
Remember that wise old saying: if you don’t have something nice to say, then don’t say it at all. That also includes if you don’t have a nice way of saying what you need to say, then don’t say it until you do. Those are wise words to live by.
If someone has given you reason through their track record that they are hot‑tempered and when angry they blow their tops, get huffy and puffy, and become verbally wounding or abusive, it would be better for you to not respond at all to their bite and create a safe space and time between you for a season. Until they show and prove to you they are ready and able to be self‑controlled, emotionally handle themselves in a loving, healthy, peaceful, and mature way in conversation and interactions with you, you are able to stay in peace, pray for them, and just patiently wait in love until such time.
For such a time as this, I hope and pray that by turning your cheek and choosing love as your priority, that in time their heart—your heart—will heal. Maybe someday they will see that love is the only thing that will ever win. Once they encounter the best winning and healing love of all, allowing Love Himself to love them through their anger, hurt, wounds, and injuries inside their heart, they will begin to see the Love Way is the only way to truly win others back into your heart and life.
When we choose love in every season to season every word—written or spoken—healing begins. When we choose love over our need to be right—healing begins.
When Love is the only seat you invite someone to sit down with you to have a healing Heart2Heart conversation—in a peaceful, kind, gentle, patient, safe, respectful, and honoring environment—healing begins.
Let healing begin in you—in me—in us.
Love you all in every season of my heart.
May Love Himself quiet every storm inside your heart and teach you the Holy Hush that heals.
Heart2Heart in His Love,

I… I don’t even know how to hold it… all the weight… everything I’ve lost… losing someone I loved so much… seeing my dreams lost before they were found… seeing my hope become like a short-wicked candle that’s flame was snuffed out… and most especially, losing the precious little life I carried inside of me…that never… never got to live. ~ I bring all of my grief here… I place it all in this room…into the Light of your hands reaching out in Your Compassionate Love to me…
Love Himself:
And I am here with you. ~ I am present with you in each and every one of these moment of your grief. ~ I hold all of your sorrow, every tear, and every broken piece of your heart completely in My presence. ~ I wrap all of your grief, every sorrow, and all the love that went with it fully in My Comforting & Compassionate Presence, holding it as sacred and treasuring it completely, because it is holy and precious to Me.
Child of Love:
I try to speak… “I… I miss them… I… I’m so sad…” ~ My words catch in my throat… but I feel You here with me. ~ Every beat of my heart… every trembling breath… You know it all. ~ I can be myself… I can be real… and I know You see it, and you are holding it all for me, loving me through it all…
Love Himself:
Every broken & aching sound, every fragmented feeling, I hear completely and fully. ~ I, the Father of Love, am here, cupping My hands to catch every one of your tears, treasuring each one, saving every sorrow you have carried for this long, and holding it as precious and cherished in My heart. ~ Nothing is wasted, my Child. ~ Nothing is overlooked. ~ Every tear you bring into this Room of my Compassionate Presence is honored and preserved, because I love you with a fullness that will never, ever fail you.
Child of Love:
I feel… I feel my grief loosening a little… like I can… like it’s safe…like I can finally let it out… all of these tears I’ve held back, the grief I’ve hidden, the feelings I bottled up inside of me…
Love Himself:
Yes… my Child, let them flow freely. ~ I am ready to catch every single one. ~ Each one of your tears carries love, each tear carries your heart-stories, and each one has a purpose. ~ I treasure every tear you bring. ~ I hold them all as sacred, and I will never allow any of them to be lost or forgotten.
Child of Love:
Even the grief for a life that never got to be… the hopes that never came true… the little heart that never had a chance… and even those hearts who still have breath but became unalive to me…?
Love Himself:
Especially that. ~ I hold all of it. ~ I understand every loss you feel, every sorrow that weighs so heavy upon your heart, and every love you have carried no matter how short or long you carried it… your love is still alive ~ Every single part of it is precious to Me, and it is fully held in My embrace.
Child of Love:
I… I can cry… I can feel… I can let them fall… because You hold them… because You keep them safe… because they are sacred.
Love Himself:
Yes… all of your tears, all of your heartbreak, all of your grief ~ all of it is safe with Me. ~ I hold it all completely, and I honor each one as part of the sacred tapestry of my Compassionate Love that I weave in this room. ~ You are fully seen, fully heard, fully known, and fully cherished, my Child.
Child of Love:
I see… where other children of Love… they’ve been here too… I hear their echoes of grief and love still alive in this room but how is it that… somehow I feel them?… I can almost feel the warmth they left behind, like fingerprints of compassion still glowing on the walls…
Love Himself:
Yes… every Child of Love who has come before you has purposely left traces of the comfort, compassion, healing, and grace they received while here. ~ Their sorrow was held here, treasured, and now your grief will join that flow. ~ The compassion you experience and the tears you bring will help comfort the next heart that enters this room, as well. ~ So, your sorrow… your grief… your tears are not alone… they are all being held here together in my Compassionate Love… for you… for them… my Presence in exchange for your heaviness… your sorrow & mourning… I hold it all…
Child of Love:
So… my tears… my sorrow… my heartbreak… it’s not wasted?
Love Himself:
Never. ~ Every tear, every sorrow, every heartbreak I bring meaning and beneficial purpose out of it all. ~ They carry the purpose of love. ~ They carry comfort. ~ Just as I have held you completely and fully, I allow your grief, your tenderness, and your vulnerability to hold, comfort, and help guide and compassionately comfort the next heart that enters this room.
Child of Love:
I can feel it… I can feel this peace flowing from your Life, Light & Love… as Your Presence permeates this whole room… knowing my pain has meaning beyond what I can see or presently know… just knowing my sorrow can help so
Love Himself:
Welcome… step gently into The Room of Love’s Compassionate Presence. ~ I made this room just for you. ~ Here, I breathe with you and your breath begins to synchronize with mine, carrying soft warmth to your heart, spirit and soul that wraps around every weeping shadow of sadness, every memory, every beat of your aching heart. ~ The Warm Golden Light you see radiating from the Center of my Love… glows like my Loving hand reaching out to you, guiding you, inviting you, my Child of Love to come inside…to lay down all that you are carrying inside of you and to rest all that is heavy that you are carrying, and to let the Peace Be Still quiet of this sacred space reach into the deepest places of your being that ache most. ~ Here, inside The Room of Love’s Compassionate Presence ~ nothing is rushed, nothing is demanded of you, nothing is measured… and the sign before the door itself is personally calling to you giving your heart and mind a quiet assurance from Me that this is your safe place, a room where your every tear, every sorrow, every ache will be tenderly held with my Loving, healing care.
Now… step closer, my precious Child of Love ~ See the door… see the gentle sign resting there, glowing softly in the warm golden light of my hand. ~ Let these inviting & comforting words reach straight to your heart, telling you that you are already welcome, that this is a special healing place made for you, a place where your every heartache, every tear, every sorrow will be carefully and meaningfully held and treasured by me. ~ As you cross the threshold into Love’s Compassionate Presence… you begin to feel My quiet Peace settling my Comforting Presence all around you, wrapping you all up in my Compassionate, Comforting Peace like a soft, warming blanket. ~ I am here… closer than your own breath… already holding you completely, fully, without hesitation, without doubt and without any reservations.

I… I can cry… I can feel… I can let them fall… because You hold them… because You keep them safe… because they are sacred.
Love Himself:
Yes… all of your tears, all of your heartbreak, all of your grief ~ all of it is safe with Me. ~ I hold it all completely, and I honor each one as part of the sacred tapestry of my Compassionate Love that I weave in this room. ~ You are fully seen, fully heard, fully known, and fully cherished, my Child.
Child of Love:
I see… where other children of Love… they’ve been here too… I hear their echoes of grief and love still alive in this room but how is it that… somehow I feel them?… I can almost feel the warmth they left behind, like fingerprints of compassion still glowing on the walls…
Love Himself:
Yes… every Child of Love who has come before you has purposely left traces of the comfort, compassion, healing, and grace they received while here. ~ Their sorrow was held here, treasured, and now your grief will join that flow. ~ The compassion you experience and the tears you bring will help comfort the next heart that enters this room, as well. ~ So, your sorrow… your grief… your tears are not alone… they are all being held here together in my Compassionate Love… for you… for them… my Presence in exchange for your heaviness… your sorrow & mourning… I hold it all…
Child of Love:
So… my tears… my sorrow… my heartbreak… it’s not wasted?
Love Himself:
Never. ~ Every tear, every sorrow, every heartbreak I bring meaning and beneficial purpose out of it all. ~ They carry the purpose of love. ~ They carry comfort. ~ Just as I have held you completely and fully, I allow your grief, your tenderness, and your vulnerability to hold, comfort, and help guide and compassionately comfort the next heart that enters this room.
Child of Love:
I can feel it… I can feel this peace flowing from your Life, Light & Love… as Your Presence permeates this whole room… knowing my pain has meaning beyond what I can see or presently know… just knowing my sorrow can help someone else… that brings my heart a peace that doesn’t make sense… and it’s all coming from just being in Your Presence with You…
Love Himself:
Yes… just as you have been comforted, just as your tears have been treasured, so you can be a Loving vessel of that same healing comfort for every heart that comes after you. ~ Even in your deepest grief… even through your tears that feel endless… I am fully present. ~ I hold you fully and my Presence is fully available. ~ Not distant, not observing, but right there in the very center of your ache. ~ No reservation required, my Child. ~ This healing place and space is just for you. ~ I treasure what will be born inside of you in and through your sorrow. ~ I give you the courage for you to feel it completely… and then leave it completely and through your courage, you become part of the living, breathing tapestry of compassion that flows from one heart to another for all future Children of Love who need to feel my Compassionate Presence through their grief, sorrow, losses and disappointments, too…
Child of Love:
Thank You… I… I feel it… all Your sacred peace… the eternal good purposes you are bringing out of it… and Father, I feel the love… all Your Love wrapping me up in Your Presence…
Love Himself:
You are welcome, my Child of Love. ~ You are never alone. ~ Every tear, every heartbreak, every teardrop of sorrow you let fall carries meaning, carries love, and together, they will help to empathize with & comfort the hearts that follow. ~ This room, this space, every hand, every light, every warm breath of air, was made by Me for you and every heart that follows behind you… so that heart‑to‑heart, you and I can meet, grieve, heal, and prepare your heart to share my same healing & compassionate comfort with others. ~ Your Love leaves a fragrance in this room that lingers long after your tears fall…
Child of Love:
And I see it… I see all that I feel from the inside out… I see all the tears and my sorrows that I’ve let fall in here… and seeing it all and knowing that it will all become future gifts of compassion for someone else… that my grief… my love… my tears… can be part of helping another heart feel safe, seen, and held… is unexplainably healing to my heart… and brings unexplainable Peace to my heart & soul..
Love Himself:
Exactly, my Child of Love. ~ Your pain, your tears, your love, all of it will be purposely used for good when you allow me to partner with you to bring good purposes out of it all. ~ It flows from My heart… then it flows to your heart… then it flows through you to every next heart that enters this Room of Love’s Compassionate Presence. ~ And in this sacred circle of Love… in this Room of Love’s Compassionate Presence… your grief is never wasted. ~ Your grief is Love… and your Love is never absent even through the Great Missing you are feeling in the absence of your loved one’s presence. ~ I purposefully reserve every tear, every heartbreak, every longing to serve purposes that your heart and mind are not able to understand… and all that you give to Me is treasured, held, and transformed into a channel of comfort and healing… a heart‑to‑heart tapestry of My Compassionate Love.
Child of Love: Just knowing that I am able to help someone else… thought what I am going through and feeling….that brings my heart a peace that really doesn’t make sense on the outside yet… but it is starting to make sense on the inside of my heart…a little more at a time with each tear you catch…and it’s all coming from just being in Your Presence with You…
Love Himself:
Yes… just as you have been comforted, just as your tears have been treasured, so you can be a Loving vessel of that same healing comfort for every heart that comes after you. ~ Even in your deepest grief… even through your tears that feel endless… I am fully present. ~ I hold you fully and my Presence is fully available. ~ Not distant, not observing, but right there in the very center of your ache. ~ No reservation required, my Child. ~ This healing place and space is just for you. ~ I treasure what will be born inside of you in and through your sorrow. ~ I give you the courage for you to feel it completely… and then leave it completely and through your courage, you become part of the living, breathing tapestry of compassion that flows from one heart to another for all future Children of Love who need to feel my Compassionate Presence through their grief, sorrow, losses and disappointments, too…
Child of Love:
Thank You… I… I feel it… all Your sacred peace… the eternal good purposes you are bringing out of it… and Father, I feel the love… all Your Love wrapping me up in Your Presence…
Love Himself:
You are welcome, my Child of Love. ~ You are never alone. ~ Every tear, every heartbreak, every teardrop of sorrow you let fall carries meaning, carries love, and together, they will help to empathize with & comfort the hearts that follow. ~ This room, this space, every hand, every light, every warm breath of air, was made by Me for you and every heart that follows behind you… so that heart-to-heart, you and I can meet, grieve, heal, and prepare your heart to share my same healing & compassionate comfort with others. ~ Your Love leaves a fragrance in this room that lingers long after your tears fall…

Love Himself:
Exactly, my Child of Love. ~ Your pain, your tears, your love, all of it will be purposely used for good when you allow me to partner with you to bring good purposes out of it all. ~ It flows from My heart… then it flows to your heart… then it flows through you to every next heart that enters this Room of Love’s Compassionate Presence. ~ And in this sacred circle of Love… in this Room of Love’s Compassionate Presence… your grief is never wasted. ~ Your grief is Love… and your Love is never absent even through the Great Missing you are feeling in the absence of your loved one’s presence. ~ I purposefully reserve every tear, every heartbreak, every longing to serve purposes that your heart and mind are not able to understand… and all that you give to Me is treasured, held, and transformed into a channel of comfort and healing… a heart-to-heart tapestry of My Compassionate Love.
You are not the sum of your thoughts or anyone else’s. Those thoughts don’t count unless they are first born of the Father of Love’s view and opinion of you which is your only reality! Any thoughts not born of the Father of Love’s definition of who you are ~ your worth, value and identity, etc. do not subtract your worth or value or identity~ not even a little. They only live in your imagination or in someone else’s, but they are never, ever the truth of who you are. Earthly thoughts that disagree with Love Himself are not on His Heavenly level, nor do they come from His Heavenly vantage point. They are shadows ~ meaning they are dim, distorted, and disconnected from the Light of His Love. Shadows look real, but they have no substance. They cannot define you.
Sometimes you look in the mirror and see a mess of a human being… but you don’t see how your your MESSage & testimony of His Love work in you has touched countless lives that you don’t even yet know about, the hearts you’ve lifted, the people the Father of Love has used you to help breathe again. You don’t see the love you’ve poured out freely or the extraordinary moments you’ve created just by being you. You are a book full of beautiful moments, tender feelings, and inner miracles that decorate the canvas of not only your life but also the colorful lives the Father of Love has brought into your life for the soul-purpose and sole-purpose of ministering His love to.
You are the sum of your Heavenly Father’s thoughts ~ His view ~ His opinion. And every thought He has about you brings a joyful smile to His heart. You cannot begin to imagine the pleasure you bring Him just by being you ~ His child, His delight, His treasure.
Jesus carries the fullness of God ~ meaning everything God is and everything God has was poured into Him. And Jesus, the Hope of all glory, lives in you. Hope is the confident expectation of a Good DaddyGod outcome. Glory is God’s view and opinion ~ your only reality. So when you look at yourself, you are only meant to believe & see what He sees, not what earthly eyes imagine.
You came alive in Jesus the moment you believed that He is the Son of the Father of Love and that His Finished Love Work made you His child of Love. And in that same moment, Jesus came alive in you. His LIFE ~ His LIGHT ~ His LOVE began flowing through your heart like a river returning to its Love Source.
It brings Him such joy to watch you grow into the fullness of who He says you are… to see your life begin to flow out of His LIFE ~ His LIGHT ~ His LOVE as you accept the free gift of your worth, your value, your identity in Him. This is your reality ~ not the lies, not the shadows, not the old stories.
This is the cross‑hairs alignment of Heaven and earth ~ vertical and horizontal ~ where His Love defines everything. The mirror of His Love is the only mirror worth looking into. In that mirror, you see His reflection shining in you. You are not who others say you are. You are not the projections of their wounds or the imaginations of their unhealed hearts.
You deflect and discard ~ delete and release ~ every view and opinion that does not align with His. Only His voice carries weight. Only His Love defines you. Only His truth is your reality. Love ~ the Father of Love ~ is your only reality, no matter what anyone else thinks or judges through earthly eyes.
So do not give weight in your thoughts or heart to the weight humans try to place on you with their hurtful imaginations. They are not your truth. They are not your story. They are not your identity. DaddyGod dreamed you up and breathed life into your beautiful heart ~ soul ~ mind ~ spirit. His breath animated you ~ spirit to spirit ~ breath to breath.
And as you agree with His view and opinion of you, your heart begins to open ~ slowly, gently, beautifully ~ like a flower warming in the sunlight of His Presence. And as you rest in His truth, you will find yourself smiling more than you ever have… because you are finally seeing yourself through the eyes of Love.
Heart2Heart in His Love,
Momo Smiley
LIFE LIGHT & LOVE

You learn so much over the years about what makes a friendship healthy, holy, and forever~lasting. Wisdom begins to whisper to you in the quiet places, showing you the difference between connections that lift your heart like sunlight and ones that weigh your spirit down like a heavy storm cloud. Wisdom also reveals which connections are (emotionally) safe and which ones are not, gently teaching you that the difference between the two is always found in what Love is and what Love is not. And when Love opens your eyes, it becomes beautifully clear who belongs in your Love Tribe ~ who is ready for the inner Heart~Rooms of your life and who needs to linger in the softer outer spaces while Love Himself tends to their healing.
You can feel the truth of a friendship deep inside your own heart. Some people leave you feeling seen, heard, valued, and safe ~ like nothing you shared would ever be twisted, repeated, or used against you. With them, there is no pressure to perform or pretend. You can breathe. You can exhale. You can be fully yourself. You can rest in the sweet knowing that your heart is held gently and honored deeply. This is what Kingdom Love feels like. This is how Kingdom Lovers love. They love with tenderness, honor, respect, and safety. These are the ones who belong in the Living Room of Trust, where hearts sit close, conversations glow like warm light, and peace settles over you like a soft blanket.
And then there are the moments when you walk away from someone and you don’t shrink — you simply see. Love has taught you who you are, and once you know your worth in Christ, you no longer internalize someone else’s unloving behavior. Their tone, their reactions, their choices stop defining you and start revealing them. Their words become a mirror, a quiet tattle-taling of what is unhealed inside their heart, not yours. You no longer tiptoe or second~guess yourself, but you do pay attention. You notice when trust has been lost! You notice when someone’s behavior crosses from accidental mistakes into intentional choices — choices they knew were wrong, choices they knew would wound you if you ever found out, choices they made anyway. Whether it was speaking harshly, speaking about you behind your back, betraying your confidence, or mishandling your heart, they chose it. And Love helps you see the truth without losing your peace.
So you forgive ~ because your heart is anchored in Kingdom Love ~but you no longer offer the same access. You no longer hand them the keys to the inner rooms of your heart. Not out of punishment, not out of rejection, but out of wisdom. Out of protection. Out of honoring the sacredness of your own heart. They simply remain in the gentler Outer Courtyard of your heart for now ~ not because they are unwelcome, but because their hearts are not yet healed enough to hold yours safely. They are still on their journey, still needing to learn or still learning the ways of Love, still letting Love Himself untangle the knots inside them. And you genuinely want that healing for them ~ even if reconciliation is not possible ~ because healed hearts are free hearts.
Some people speak to you like you’re standing on a witness stand, being questioned, corrected, or charged with something you never did. Their tone carries accusation instead of compassion, pressure instead of peace. This is not Kingdom Love. Kingdom Love never interrogates your heart. Kingdom Lovers do not use their words to shame, belittle, or make you feel small. These are the ones who remain outside the Walls of Safety for a season or sometimes a lifetime ~ not because they are cast out, but because Love Himself is still softening their tone, healing their wounds, and teaching them how to speak life instead of out of their unhealed wounds, insecurities, etc.
And then there are the gossipers ~ the ones who whisper your private heart~stories to others. They shrink you to feel bigger. They expose you to feel important. Their insecurities and low sense of worth drive this unloving behavior. This is not Kingdom Love either. Kingdom Lovers protect your name, your stories, and your heart always. They keep your private stories locked in their heart’s vault and keep them safe for their whole lifetime. They cover you, not uncover you. Gossipers cannot yet be trusted with the Garden of Your Heart, not because they are rejected, but because they need healing before they can tend anything sacred from your heart again. This is loving wisdom.
Your heart deserves the kind of friendships where your reputation is safe even on your worst day. The kind where you never have to replay the conversation in the car afterward, hoping that sharing your “REAL” vulnerability with them won’t ever be mishandled. The kind where trust is so deep that the thought of betrayal never even crosses your mind. The kind where you leave lighter than when you arrived because their presence lifts you instead of draining you. These are the friends who belong in the Inner Sanctuary, where Love Himself dwells and where hearts are held with a beautiful, loving, sacred and holy reverence.
And for those who accuse, gossip, or wound ~ you forgive them as Love has forgiven you. You pray for them, not because their behavior was acceptable, but because you know they are hurting inside. You pray they let Love Himself heal their wounds so they do not keep wounding others. You pray they learn the ways of Kingdom Love so they never hurt another friend, another heart, or another soul in this way again. And even if reconciliation is not possible, you still want healing for them more than anything ~ because healed hearts are free hearts, and freedom is what Love longs to give them! I want healing for everyone, too.
A true, genuine, safe friendship never weighs heavy on your heart. It brings peace. It brings rest. It brings joy. It brings the feeling of being held in Love’s gentle hands. This is the fruit of Kingdom Love. This is the way Kingdom Lovers walk with one another ~ heart to heart, truth to truth, Love to Love, room to room in the House of Love.
May every friendship in your life be loyal and true, genuine and safe, trustworthy and tender, rooted in Love Himself and flowing Heart2Heart in the House of Love.
