Falling in love

It's funny when your life makes weird little shifts. I used to thrive on change and switching it up and making sure life didn't get too cyclical. Now, after some study and experience, I've found that constant change is probably the best way to develop inconsistent behavior and attitudes.

Change doesn't scare me, I welcome change if it is brought by God.

So I'm faced with this little life-shift. Nothing life-changing, but still, I've had to adjust. There is a certain melancholy that comes with this shift and this melancholy state has driven me to the arms of my Lover.

I want to talk about the effect of constant communion with God. The more I talk to God, worship Him, and persist in my requests of Him, I have a natural pull -- like gravity -- to be with Him more. To talk about Him more. To Love Him, Honor Him, and an urgent desire to Please Him more.

If you are wondering what it is like to be in love. To really love. Run to God. Bring yourself before Him face to face. Leave nothing hidden from Him, be honest with how you feel about Him, your life and circumstances. You can yell at Him for injustices, you can praise Him until your tongue bleeds, but in the end there is One thing left that you will desire. There will still be Something that you want more and the thirst can be insatiable: Him. Only Him.

Fall obnoxiously in Love with Him, you will find yourself craving more of His presence, you will read His Word like it was His own personal love letter written directly and only for you. He invites us to this world where heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss, where your heart turns violently inside of your chest, and you won't have time for regrets, when you think about the way He loves you.

No comments:

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better.

I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love.
