On my way to work this morning, I became so overwhelmed talking to God. I was just talking to Him and thanking Him for His goodness and love when I suddenly started crying. It was like a huge tidal wave hit me, realizing what God means to me and what I mean to Him.
Recently, I had a couple of conversations with people. One of the conversations was with a younger woman and the other was with an older lady. In the first conversation the question "How did you move forward?" was asked (for advice). I told her that I came to a place where I realized that my heart belonged to God and that my love with Him was the most precious thing in existence. I told her that I was madly in love with Him and that as I am pursuing Him, He is pursuing me. I told her that was one of the most important ingredients to love: to pursue and be pursued.
The second conversation was about Jesus. A lady at my church and I were talking about being dead to sin and alive in Christ. I told her that there are so many Christians who are walking around still in the "dead mode" and haven't actually COME ALIVE in Christ. It's like looking at a bunch of zombies walking around (kind of a morbid picture, but I was thinking of the Valley of Dry Bones). I said that Christ telling us to follow His example has led me to think about His relationship with the Father. Christ was flesh, just like us, but He was dead to sin He filled Himself with the Father. He didn't seperate His carpentry job from His life with God like we so often do. He didn't fill His "needs" with earthly pleasures. He was hard after God. He prayed daily! He was in an intimate place between the trinity. There was an intertwining of the Father in His life! He PURSUED Father! God IS love. If we could just try and grasp that...! His love is perfection itself. Love stories? The greatest love story is Jesus. So, why not learn from Him the ways of love?
