First Love

Have you ever been in love? I mean that true, head-over heels, can’t live without that other person in love. Do you remember the first time you ever felt that feeling. The feeling that you have when you see that person, the feeling in your stomach that is like someone let loose a hundred butterflies and they are fluttering around in there. Your heart starts beating so hard that you think it’s going to fly right out of your chest. You start to sweat, and your breathing changes. Ahhhh, first love.

Now do you remember when you first fell in love with God? Knowing that you can’t live without Him. Your heart beat so fast it felt like it was beating out of your chest. Your stomach all in knots (in a good way); sounds familiar.

As we get older and we are with the same person we first fell head-over-heels in love with that feeling isn’t the same over the years as it was. The same with our walk with Jesus. We kind of get used to having Jesus with us. We take Him for granted just like we do our other “first love”. We need to allow Him to take us back to that first moment when we fell in love with Him. The bible says that He is new every morning. If that is true then shouldn’t we get to know the “New Lord” everyday? Shouldn’t we allow ourselves to open our hearts to Him in a new way? Let’s allow ourselves to fall in love with Jesus anew. Allow Him to fill you with a new, fresh, and exciting love that you have never experienced before. He IS new every morning and I want to experience His new and refreshing love for me.
