What is your inspiration for your new book “FIERCELY LOVED: God’s Wild Thoughts About You?”

People think God HAS to love them.
God sent his son to express who he was?
God loves you and me with an everlasting love.
God is not someone in love with us, God is love for us. – Lisa
It is important for everyone to know that you are fiercely loved by God.

‍

What initial encouragement would you give singles who feel forgotten?

The way people respond to you has nothing to do with the way God feels about you.
God loves us even if people don’t understand us.
There are things you can do when you’re single that you can’t do when you’re married.
There is a beauty in this time period of your life that you’re gonna miss when you are on the next level of your life.

Lisa, why is it so critical for SINGLES specifically to know that God FIERCELY loves them?

Even when the enemy means bad, God will actually flip it around and use it for good.
You can always look into your season as lonely or alone.
When you think your season is lonely you will feel lost.
When you consider your single season as alone time, God has full attention from you.
If everything went on pause and the curtain is still closed. I want you to believe that God has things he is putting into place. - Lisa

‍

What do you have to say to those individuals that are feeling stuck right now?

When people are ultimately acquainted with disappointment, and then the promise begins to come we opt out of things that we are meant to be part of because we are afraid being disappointed yet again will be too painful for us.
A life without hope is life with no anchor.
A year from now everything can be the same or everything can be different and it will always be your choice.
When we complain, we actually undermine the grace of God in our life to go through something.
There are things that we get in this life and then there are other things we get in the next.
