Why I fell in love in the first place…

Kingdom

It’s hard to describe this feeling that I have so I’ll try my best to. A couple weeks ago, I was sitting at church waiting for it to start. The worship team was in the middle of practice and I decided to close my eyes and turn my affection towards God. At that very moment, I caught a glimpse. It was a glimpse of Jesus that reminded me of why I fell in love with Him in the first place. It was this love that was so intense yet so gentle at the same time. It came through His eyes. Then and there, I felt like I was in high school and my hormones were buzzing. I had this uncontrollable crush towards Him. I felt giddy like a school girl. Let me tell you that this really hasn’t happened to me in a very long time. It was actually weird since I did not know what to do with it. It was just an experience that has gotten progressively more intense as the weeks have gone by. To be honest, I don’t want it to stop. I remember when I had my first love encounter with God. It was absolutely blissful. He had won me over with His love, forgiveness, mercy, power, everything.

After processing it with a few people, I realize that it’s not just happening to me either. It’s happening to a lot of people. But why? Why is this happening? And why is this happening now? I believe it’s the season we’re in. THe season has changed… shifted… We’re headed back to a lovey dovey romance with God once again. And for good reason… sometimes we forget, not purposefully, wh we’re in this in the first place… why we gave our lives and or hearts to Him… we’ve grown somewhat accustomed… or our lives have become such a routine that we’ve literally just forgotten why we fell in love with Him in the first place… I’m writing this to encourage you that you’re not alone… that if you need that fresh touch of His love, you can experience it as well. He’s wooing us out of routine and taking us to a new level… or perhaps a new appreciation of Him. He’s drawing us closer than ever before. And hopefully we never leave… that we fell madly in love with Him for all eternity. I pray that for all my readers. Cheers.

    loved this….i had a looong season where i was totally crushing on God, for like 4 months straight, then it leveled off for a while, now it comes in bursts…and it feels so amazing and refreshing when i get that wave of crushness (is that a word?!) toward him… mmmmm mmmm good! and i feel it happening once again. i totally agree with you – i think we’re in a new season of more of this!
