Love is Loyalty

Heyyy beautiful people. And others. How's it going?! Hopefully all is well and you're having a peaceful day. I've been sitting doing quite a bit of reflection lately and one of the things I've been thinking about is love. Well if I'm 100% truthful love is always on my brain 🧠 😆 🥁. (But that's besides the point 🤭.)

I've been judging myself. Taking some deep self reflection wondering if “I'm doing right?”. Trying to make sure I'm checking the boxes God gave us to examine ourselves on a daily bases (John 14:15). If I'm honest I can't say I've been able to always check everyone. That acknowledgement in itself kinda makes me feel “bad”. Trust me, I'm my biggest fan and biggest critic.

I was listening to the song Overrated by Blxst where he talks about wanting loyalty over love. From there, my mind went off on its little exploration on “if there was a difference between the two”? Love and Loyalty that is. I then thought back on how God shows us his love for us and on how God wants us to show we love him.

Considering the verse John 14:15 where it talks about “If you love me you'll keep my commandments”. Yea, that Scripture; it's all about loyalty. This scripture highlights how God wants to see that we love him through our loyalty to him. Our loyalty to his commandments. God's sacrifice for us took away the curse of the law (Gal 3:13) but it didn't take away the foundation of it. Meaning God still wants us to show our love for him in action of how we love not only him but others (Matt 22:37-40).

Loyalty isn't much different from love. Loyalty is the act of being faithful, honest and committed to someone or something. Isn't that exactly what God requires and desires from us?!

We cheat on God in many different ways. Yet, somehow we are most loyal to the things we can see. Our desires aka our sins (James 1:14-15). Despite God's loyalty to cover us from the things we can't always see. He loves and covers us still. But like any relationship a person is only going to tolerate but so much.

That kinda was a lot. But to sum it all up. Love is Loyalty. And yea, I guess love can become overrated when we lose sight of that. Because how can you say you love me yet come up short on your loyalty to me?! What are your thoughts?! Do you think love and loyalty are the same? Or are they different? Let me know in the comments.

Love ya, later. 😘

Wanting Everything That's Mine ‼️

Heyyy beautiful people and others. Hope you're having an amazing day. Me, I'm chilling….literally 🥁. 😆 Anywho, tell me something good down in the comments. I know you have something that you can give God a praise about 👀. Okay, you might have to find it with everything going on but find it !!

Can I tell you something?! It's a rhetorical question don't worry about it 😀. God is too good of a father to NOT give you what's rightfully yours. That's just my believe. Yea, if someone tried to dress up like you, walk like you, talk like you.. then you might have to do a little extra to get it. But the plans he has for you are STILL going to come to pass. 🤷🏿‍♀️

Why?! Because God uses everything for our good (Ro 8:28). See what those who covet what you have don't realize is that they are already out of order. I know, I know. Someone will come along and say we're not under the law. Ohh, but that spirit is!

The word tells us to study the laws day and night (Joshua 1:8). Why?! Because God desires for us to write these things on our heart (Romans 2:15). When we do this it allows us to have our own inner reflection. Allowing us to judge ourselves, our spirit man, more than we spend time judging others.

We may not be under the law when we are walking with Christ but it is still the guide he will use to judge us in fairness. I'm not sure about YOU, but I know for me I want ALL that God has stored up for me. Not what he has planned for someone else.

Joseph's story is a prime example of this in the word. His brothers were jealous and envious of him. Yet, all the bad they intended for him was used for his good.

Sometimes you might have to take a different route to get to the final destination God has for you. As long as you stay on course with the great I AM. You'll reach YOUR destination. Don't let those seeking to kill your destiny for your life cause you to take your eyes off the Father. You SHALL LIVE and not DIE ‼️

Keep walking in faith and ensure you get everything that the great I AM has in store for you. Be easy.

Love ya. Later.

Just this One will Cover them All !

What’s up good people and others? Pray you have had a great weekend thus far. That you were able to get rest (for those of you who keep the sabbath) & that you treated yourself to some type of enjoyment. Even if it was simply chilling at home.

I came across something interesting in the word that I wanted to share with you all. Hopefully it helps you along your journey of elevation as it has helped me.

I have a video on my YouTube channel that highlights how our love for God is dependent on if we keep his commandments. The video is titled “The Clause on Love” & it is under the Live section on my Ls2Elevation YouTube channel. In it I speak on John 14:15 & how God wants to see our love thru the way in which we keep his commandments. It’s a pretty good video. Make sure you check it out.

In total there are ten commandments in the Bible that are referenced frequently. These are the commandments God wants us to keep. When you read thru them all you might spend some time self reflecting on whether or not you have truly been showing God you love him. I know there are some commandments that I have not always kept. Some that I have struggled to fully get right. Others I am grateful that I can check the box showing I am able. Yet did you know that there is ONE action that will cover them all? Can you guess what it is?

Alright, alright, let me tell you.

It is “Thou shalt love thy neighbour as you love yourself.” (Galatians 5:14) Seems simple enough right? Yet, when we look out into the world today in 2025, the love shown is all questionable. Imagine being able to show God you love him simply by treating others how you want to be treated. Many fail at this. Maybe, it’s because they struggle to love themselves. Maybe their hearts have waxed cold. Maybe, no love was shown to them. There honestly could be endless possibilities on why people choose not to love their neighbor. Yet, it is the simple thing that God desires for his children to do to show that they truly love him.

If there was more love in the world instead of hate, jealousy, envy and covetousness the world would be a completely different place. People would be more willing to help others, more willing to look past some of the simple things that people get into arguments and competitions about. It’s interesting when you read the next verse in Galatians, verse 5:15, it states, “But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.” Is that not exactly what is happening in the world today? Nation against nation? This group blaming that group. Cultural hate for others instead of embracing our differences.

In one action, we as children of God can reciprocate the love that God has shown us.

The bigger question for many people to ask themselves. Is do you love yourself? How can you love your neighbor if you don’t.

Whelp, y’all be blessed. Have an amazing day.

Love ya, later,

Shya.
