Being in a relationship can really be so overwhelming,If you’ve been “in love” I know you know what I’m saying.
Alexander Smith described it this way “Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in the recognition.”
Especially if it’s your first time to be “in-love” or to be in a relationship. I believe it’s beyond compare to crushes, infatuation, or as some other call it MU (mutual understanding).
It is true being in-love can really be so overwhelming; some people would daydream of the person they love. You immediately miss each other the minute after seeing each other, I remember there was a time I couldn’t sleep thinking of her. we would always want to talk, see and be with each other most of the time. Words are overflowing that you tend to be romantic, cheesy and corny but you don’t care because you want to express how much you love the other person.
That’s why we need to be careful and mature enough to know how to handle our relationships. We need God’s help all the more before instead of enriching our lives it could start robbing us of our true identity.
The truth is, there is someone who loves us more than how our “lover” (boyfriend/girlfriend/fiance/spouse) loves us.
In one of the book I’ve read let me quote Leo Buscaglia when he said “ Love is always bestowed as a gift – freely, willingly, and without expectation… We don’t love to be loved; we love to love.”
I believe it’s how God loves us. He has already loved us before we met Him. He should be our first love. our priority. We can never give Real love unless we’ve received it from Him. You can’t give unconditional love if you yourself are empty with it.
No one should share His seat in our hearts. Let’s not forget Him, fight for your time for Him. Your personally time (intimacy) with Him. A private relationship of worshipping God is the greatest essential element of spiritual fitness.
If we put Him first, He will give us the desires of our hearts (Matt 6:33). One common concern with couples is that they got so “in-love” with one another that they forgot who they really are. They are a child of this Great living and all-loving God.
Isolation could take place that they might miss the many opportunities to express God’s love to the people around them.
This is one message that I and Ayi have just learned which we want to share. Yes we have many activites, we have calendars synced, budgetting, planning, schedules prayer time, small groups and ministries but still lost the reason why we are doing all of these we could be trying to do many gimmicks but still miss the point.
Let’s not miss the reason why we are doing the things we are doing. Never forsake your first love. Jesus.
Don’t just invite him, let Him lead you once again, the center of your life, your relationships, of everything you are doing and are about to do. I’m sure He will meet you just right where you need Him. He’s been waiting for you to come back to Him.
He is our first love, our great and mighty king, lord and savior. I’m sure He misses you more than how you miss Him. Lets get our hands off this computer, off that phone, off that pen, invite Him to be with you today, let Him captivate you once again.
