How a Desire for Affection Led to Finding God’s Love

What would you do if the very thing you were searching for led to the most devastating pain in your life?

At a young age, Genny Babela had a misguided idea about what love meant. When she was 5 years old, Genny was molested by two boys.

Because of this, she constantly looked for affection and carelessly entered relationships.

Genny often asked, “Is this what love is all about? Being forced to do things you don’t like just because you love a person.”

Since then, because of her trauma, Genny got involved with different partners and had a long list of flings and relationships in a desperate search for true love and acceptance.

As she went through her desperate search for love, Genny’s father would not approve and remind her about waiting for the right time.

Despite her father’s reminder, Genny continued to be reckless with love which led to her poor decisions.

“I was aware that what I was doing was wrong but because of my emotions, I continued,” Genny shared. Because of this, not only was her heart shattered into pieces, but her confidence dwindled.

In this moment, God met Genny and showed her the love she deserved.

Genny was invited into a church that introduced her to Jesus and changed her life. She committed to Bible studies and church ministries and her faith grew.

But after 6 years, another failed relationship shook her. This opened her eyes and reminded her of her worth in Jesus.

She came across a song released by Shekinah Gram under Reverb Worship PH, the music arm of CBN Asia, titled Pansumandali, which changed her perspective on life and love.

“Normally, I would let my emotions dictate my actions, but when I let God take over, I am assured that I would get better outcomes,” Genny shared.

Through God’s help, she completely let go of her wrong beliefs about relationships and fully embraced God’s amazing love.

“And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is.” (Ephesians 3:18 NLT)
