Honey Blessings Of God’s Love

by 1 Comment

By Liz Hughes

When I think about how God’s love is sweeter than honey, I think about all the sweet blessings He has given me. The outpouring of those blessings reminds me of how great His love is. I cannot measure how vast and wide God’s love is. I can only bask in it and surrender to it. 

A wondrous display of the sweetness of God’s love is the friends with which He has placed in my life. They have been an abundant blessing to me in how they have sharpened me to keep pursuing God’s love with the fire within me. These friends of mine have challenged me to see God’s love with more sweetness than I have seen before or ever believed. They have helped me see there is honey in the rock–Jesus, my Savior who always satisfies me. Even in the desert, His love satisfies me. His love never runs dry but is flowing constantly with sweet honey. 

I love how the words God has spoken over me are sweet as honey and filled with graciousness I cannot fathom at times. He has given me confirmations of being a wife/mother someday soon.  He has even used the blessings of my friends to speak through them with His sweet words of honey to give my heart confirmation of what He is going to do and how He is going to bring those promises to pass.

 Even in my frustrations while waiting for these promises, God’s words quiet my soul to rest on the good, sweet like honey things He has already spoken in His love. I learned in resting in God’s sweet words of honey that He will not fail nor will His promises fail. A sweet memory of God’s sweetness is when I was younger God spoke over my heart in a still small voice. I was writing lyrics to a worship song. He said to me, “I will never fail you.” This memory of spending time in a secret place with God and the words of sweet honey He spoke have been a driving force in my faith to not give up but remain steadfast in faith. 

When I am in the secret place of God’s presence, His words of sweet honey begin to pour out onto me to be able to see how they will satisfy me. His words have a way of flowing to the deepest places of my heart and renewing my hope to keep waiting on His promises.

It is like they renew my joy to anticipate what is coming and what miracle God is going to do. Sometimes the miracle is small and sometimes they are full of mountain top experiences. Either way God moves, He is always speaking words of honey to me. 

“Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.”

Proverbs 16:24 ESV

“How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!” 

Psalm 119:103 ESV

“And he brought us into this place and gave us a land, flowing with milk and honey.” Deuteronomy 26:9 ESV

“But he will feed you with the finest of the wheat, and with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.” Psalm 81:16 ESV

“The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes; the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.”

Psalm 19:8-10 ESV

Testimonials

  • Taylor Phillips, author of Training Ground

    United House Publishing was 100% an answer to prayer. I knew that God called me to write books, but I wasn't in a good position to publish according to certain industry expectations. I continued to be faithful, knowing God would make a way. AND HE DID. United House is such a champion for the underdog—for the one who doesn't have a huge platform but wants to be obedient to God. I was so blessed by the process from start to finish. From the heart and help of the revision team, to editing, coaching, and everything in between. United House was, and is, an incredible company to be part of!

  • Bridget Singleton, author of Mimo’s Welcome

    United House Publishing is absolutely GREAT to work!  I previously published a book alone... and it was so hard.  But UHP gives support like no other!  When they say they are praying over you and your work, you KNOW it!  The author coaches I have worked with have been awesome.  Not only do they help you set and crush your writing goals, they also help you pursue wellness in all aspects of your life, and you can't put a price tag on that!

  • Wendy Perry, author of The Battle Within

    God gave me the words to write a book and then He sent me to the perfect place to publish it—United House Publishing! The thought of editing and publishing a book was new and overwhelming. However, through God's peace and directing me to UHP the whole process was made easier. I felt "safe" and "at ease" sharing the story God gave me to UHP, because they treated me and my manuscript with respect. I'm thankful I obeyed God and worked with UHP to publish my very first book.

  • Gina Rodriguez, author of Teacher Tired

    As a person who has NEVER considered herself a writer, it is no shock I was in need of help when I felt led to publish my first book.  I am so blessed that I was referred to UHP.  I started my writing journey so afraid of the process, not sure where to start or what to expect. It was such a huge relief to have a team of authentic writers, editors, mentor me along the way as I pushed back fears of intimidation that tried to stop me.  With UHP I found my writing voice. The monthly coaching calls were especially important to keep me going when idleness or doubt crept in (because it will).  Having UHP to pray with me, refine my writing skills and keep me accountable made all the difference between beginning to write a book to actually finishing it!

  • Dianne Wyper, author of Shattered

    UNITED HOUSE Publishing has been like the roadblock-remover to my dreams and my calling. It's because of them that I have got to become all I have dreamed of: An Author!
