Hmm...
How
do you fall in love with Jesus?
I think it's the same...
The
same way you fall in love with anyone else.
They
show interest in you, and you show interest back.
Someone
initiates a conversation, and begins investing their time.
Talking
to them becomes a priority because there’s something there that you don’t
understand yet, but just want more of.
They
write you a love letter, and you read it over and over.
You
write one back.
You
make them priority in our life, and begin carving time out of your daily
routine because you want them. You want their attention, you want their love, and
you want to know who they are and how they work.
You
sacrifice something here to show you care more for them than that, and you give
up something there because you want to know what will happen if you spend just
one more hour with them now.
You
share your secrets with them. You tell them the best parts, the worst parts.
Give
a little time every week, and you’ll find you want it more than just of Friday
or Saturday nights. Give them a little time every day, and you’ll wonder why
you thought that one thing was so important.
You
talk about the things you rather not, but kind of do – just to see if they’ll
still want you.
The
more you invest, the more you’ll love.
This
is what we were supposed to understand when we heard, “Where your treasure is,
your heart will be also.”
Somehow
we turned it into a currency of money instead of currency of time and intimacy.
Spend
all your money on a person, and that’s a cheap reason to stay.
Spend
all your time and secrets on a person, and that’s a heart you won’t be able to
leave.
Invest
your treasures in Jesus, and you heart will follow.
Few
of us love at first sight; we need beauty, passion, or interest to slowly reel
us in.
Stop
waiting for Jesus to be any of these things for you; He already has.
Beautiful
enough to design the mountains and rivers for your admiration, passionate
enough for you to die, and interested enough in you to sell off the whole world
for you.
He
wrote down His entire life story for you, a love letter thousands of pages long
– just so you would know Him and fall in love with Him.
He
fell in love with you before first sight.
And
He’s stopped at nothing – not even death – to show you how much He wants you.
He’s waiting for you to start falling in love back.
