AN ODE TO MY LOVE
I’ve heard that when you find a love that stays you hold on to it.
I’m not sure I believe in love at first sight. However, I’m a hopeless romantic and I believe in love in its purest form.
I found love a while back and I didn’t know how to handle it. I didn’t feel the butterflies that came with the love. It took me a while to accept that love and even after I did, I still didn’t feel that passion.
The first time someone asked why I chose this love I didn’t have the words. For the first time I didn’t know what to say. “I’m not sure, It chose me and it seems like the right thing to choose it back”.
What’s your own love like? Have you fallen in love with your lover?
It took me a while to accept God, and when I finally did I didn’t understand why people loved him. It felt like the morally right thing to do.
Then I asked “why did I love God” this question took me on a journey of discovering God and loving him.
Then I interrogated it
““For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.”
John 3:16 NLT
You’ve probably heard this a thousand times, it however doesn’t make it any less true and doesn’t stop it from being the foundation of our Christianity.
I would catch a grenade for you 🎶
Love is reckless, I’m sure you know. We’ve all done crazy things in love and most likely going to do more. Guess what! Your lover (God) did one of the craziest thing in human history for love. He actually sent his son to die for you that you might have a new life.
God is saying, I know you were dead in sin, unable to save yourself, but I didn’t look at that, I don’t see your sin, I still wanted you by me.
The death on the cross literally tore the veil off, blotted out your sins and gave you right standing with the father.
God loves you.
When I understood this, I summed up my love into three. LOVE, SACRIFICE, and RELATIONSHIP. The love of God caused him to sacrifice his son for me so that I can have a relationship with him.
That love yearns for you and has yearned for you since the beginning of time.
God loves you and he is saying to you, I love you and I want to have a personal relationship with you ❤️
Now you’ve found that love that stays, will you hold on to it?
I’m rooting for you❤️
