MADLY IN LOVE!

This morning I was thinking about life and how last night I had to admit defeat in the area of comparison in my life. I had to go to the one who loves me unconditionally and say that I was sorry. The thing is that I am not out of that struggle and he knows it. Things haven’t changed between us necessarily but I feel like they have or that they should have. He has given me his everything and has been my all. He has saved my life and caused me to experience joy and true love but I knew that I was hurting him, so I was walking in that defeat.




He was still there but I knew that I had to be a disappointment. Then I heard the words from him that made my heart skip a beat. I still love you, I am proud of you and I take delight in your presence. I thought back to a recent interaction with a friend of mine who recently got engaged. She talked of how her man pursued her but also met her where she was at. How he made her feel like her heart was safe with him. When she received even a text from him, her face lit up and she had that “I am in love” giggle! It was beautiful.



This morning I realized that I do have someone doing that for me. I am filled with overwhelming joy when he speaks to me and he is faithful to me even when I do not make choices that are the best for his relationship. He is madly in love with me, and I with him. It is in that love that sometimes I get too hasty and am not content with the pace at which we are walking. But he gently calls me back into his arms. And of course sometime pulls me back from the dangers of running too far ahead or down the wrong path.

I at this moment declare my love for Jesus and receive his forgiving but intense and overwhelming love for me.
