So just 5 minutes ago, the Lord gave me a pretty crazy revelation about my life. See, there are two guys right now that I am currently crushing on, and I was just daydreaming about how if one of them ever asked me out I would be humbled and just say "you would really consider me?" I would say this because I think both of them are out of my league.
Do we realize that God is out of our league too?? But in fact he chose us, yes the Holy of Holies considered us, and has chosen to love us forever...so shouldn't that humble us a billion times more than just some guy who is imperfect like you and I? I feel like I should be fallen on my face by the fact that I do not deserve his abounding, everlasting love. So often do I not really pay attention to his love. My lifestyle reflects the fact that I do not totally grasp even a small amount of how much the most perfect one ever LOVES ME.
Most of the time I spend fantasizing about finding romance here on this earth. Always thinking about finding my proverbial knight in shining armor and all the stuff we'll share together. But helllooooooo.....I'm living the ultimate love story right now..and so are you. Think about it: Here we are, rolling in our filth day in and day out. We're the damsels in distress. We need to find a way out. We need someone to save us. Then along comes the Prince of Peace all perfect and awesome, and he takes a look at us and decides that he will give his own sinless life (in a very painful way, might I add. There was no lethal injection for Jesus) so that we all get our happy ending. So that we will ride into the sunset forever with Him.
When I was involved in Christian Campus House, they really stressed the whole falling in love with Jesus concept. I never understood it then. But now...after thinking about the paragraph above..I finally understand what it means to fall in love with Jesus :)
"Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves...." (Colossians 3:12)
