The Kind of Love That Feels Like Home

Every time I think about the people God has placed in my life, my grandmother is always the first person who comes to mind. There’s a peace I feel around her that’s hard to describe. As a child, being near her felt safe. As an adult, it feels grounding—like I’m connected to something deeper than myself.

She’s the type of woman who leads with love—the kind of love that inspires you to be better without ever demanding it. She doesn’t just teach; she lives what she teaches. And somewhere along the way, I realized that God placed her in my life to be a living example of His love—steady, patient, and kind.

God’s Perfect Placement

When I think about my grandmother, I see God’s perfect planning at work. Her presence has always reminded me that no matter what the enemy tries, I am covered. Every prayer she’s whispered over me, every gentle word she’s spoken—it’s all proof that I’m surrounded by love that was chosen for me long before I understood it.

I’ve learned that God doesn’t just bless us with people; He strategically places them. And when I take a step back and look at my life, I can see how perfectly He arranged mine.

The enemy may try to isolate, discourage, or confuse—but when I remember my grandmother and the people God has handpicked to be in my circle, I’m reminded that the enemy is outnumbered.

Gratitude as a Weapon

Gratitude shifts my perspective. It reminds me that even in the moments when I feel unseen or misunderstood, God has given me people who see me the way He does. My grandmother is one of those people. She reflects His love in a way that words can’t fully capture.

And for that, I’m grateful. Grateful that God’s love doesn’t just come through answered prayers—it comes through people who embody His heart.
