The Life of Love

Have you ever had that moment where you talk to one guy, and your mind immediately says "He's the one."? Ya, I have had moments like that many times, and last night was one of those moments...It was one of those moments where my mind began to race a mile a minute thinking of marriage, dates, back to marriage, our house, our kids, back to marriage again, and well, of course the actual proposal obviously. But this definitely is NOT love. I am not one who believes in love at first sight, simply because I believe that love is built through time and getting to know each other through a substantial amount of dates, questions, and conversations with the opposite gender. But please-by all means, do not take every word I say as correct, because I am not in a relationship, nor am I engaged/married (even though I wish I was) but instead take my thought(s) as an opinion. After all., the only true person who can show you true love is Jesus, but down here, in the "human world", I suggest to take love advice from those who are married or who have been happily married for 50+ years. Take my great-grandparents for example: they are both in their late 80's but have been happily married for 65 years and are still going strong-that my fellow readers, is TRUE LOVE (following after Christ's true love for us.) But what is it that makes our mind crazy at just the fact that one guy or that one woman said three words:"How are you?"? At that moment, (speaking for the ladies here) you don't hear those exact words but instead hear something along the lines of "Hello beautiful! How are you doing today?" or this "Call me!" I mean, seriously-how many of you ladies have ever done that? (Guys, I'm sorry but I can't speak for you because I have no idea what your perspective is on this subject, nor am I a guy) I know I have!! Or how about this- that one guy comes in and asks a cup of coffee and you blush at the sight of him and his gorgeous eyes and dark hair, and basically drool all over the sound of his voice?!...not that I, uh, have done that before! Okay maybe once or twice- c'mon..I'm a woman! ITS NATURAL! Right? I'm going to say yes, but again-don't take my word for it. What am I trying to get at with all of this love talk you may ask? Well I will tell you, and it is simply this: what if all of those thoughts, the fast heartbeat, blushing, stammering, the occasional sweating profusely here and there...what if all of those things took place as we are in that intimate love moment/relationship with Jesus? Do we feel the same way with loving Jesus as we do with that same man or woman? What are our thoughts fixed on when loving Jesus? When Jesus looks at us, He looks at us just like we do that person we have the "love crush" on. Jesus has a crush on us! He looks at us with unconditional love. Jesus sees us as beautiful, handsome, gorgeous, whatever..just as we do that guy or girl. So the next time you talk to Jesus, ask yourself, "Am I giving Him mytrue and honest love and giving Him my everything, or just half of us and our love for Him?" THANKS FOR READING AND GOD BLESS! P.S- JESUS LOVES YOU!!

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.

JOHN 3:16
