Today as we visited a park, and I was alone at the swings, I was overcome by a strong love and longing for my Lord Jesus. And in that experience, I learned what the Word means by the Lord being our first love.
If your greatest love is your family, or your friends, or your sports...your boyfriend, girlfriend, spouse, children or anything else other than Jesus...then you are missing what love really is. It's not people, or things, or pastimes, or any other thing that might be out there: Love is God. God is Love. And He is the most satisfying, fulfilling, loving, caring, listening God ever to breath across the universe. Oh and on topof that, He's the only true God! there is none like Him! What other gods do you hear of that gave their own life to save ours, and that came back to life again, promising us eternal life as well? What other Lord would care enough about our welfare that He gave us guidelines and promises that He always keeps? What other god, would come back to us after what we did to His Son? Only YHVH. And I am so in love with Him. No really....I mean it. I don't mean love like somebody would love a puppy, or love a friend, or a spouse, but love in it's purest, strongest, most beautiful form.
Time and time again I've had casual conversations with the LORD in His throne room. I stand there(sometimes kneel or fall flat on my face there) in His presense, seeing only the bright golden light of His radience,the throne, and His gentle face: and He carries on conversation with me as He would with a friend. And then I ask Him almost every time, 'why do you let me talk to You like this?' and every time, never fails, He bends down, love lighting up His eyes and boring into my own, cups my face in His nail-scarred hands and whispers "Because I love you."
You may not believe me...but I am not lying. I am telling you the truth. Have you ever done that with Him? He desires that relationship with everybody, and He will talk wth you if you really want to hear what He has to say. He is always available. And I can tell you beforetime, that when you do come into that throne-room, that the Lord Jesus will stand from His throne, and run to greet you and call you His child.....because He loves you.
If youhave such a conversation with the LORD Jesus, please let me know! I would love to hear about it! If you have unbelief about what I've told you, feel free to say so. I don't mind sharing what I know, or what I don't know.
My point of this blog entry tonight is.....
Do you REALLY love HIM?
Do YOU really LOVE Him?
DO you REALLY LOVE Him?
He may very well ask you. What will be your answer?
DO you love Him.....with shoes on?
