One of my favorite songs………………………………….
O when I first fell in love with Jesus I gave Him all of my heart And I thought I couldn’t love Him more Than I did right from the start But when I look back at the mountains And valleys where I have been Then it makes me know that I love Him so Much more than I did then
CHORUS I keep falling in love with Him Falling in love with Him Over and over again (2x)
It gets sweeter and sweeter as the days go by O what a love between the Lord and I I keep falling in love with Him Over and over again There is a hand I can hold on to Through each valley and each trial And there’s a shoulder I can lean upon When I face another mile And there’s a love I can depend upon It’s fresh and new each day And with love my heart is overflowing That is why I say……
In February 1995 I met a man that made my heart skip a beat. His sister and I just got home from shall I say girl time and he was babysitting her children. That night we stayed up almost all night just talking about our lives and kids. Morning came and I had to go to work. All that day I couldn’t help but to think about him every second. Seeing him care for his sister’s kids, and being a total gentleman to me that evening carrying a conversation that I wished would have never ended. Such a nice guy. I so wanted to get to know him better but you know us girls….just can’t call…LOL
Well later that day he called and said “Darlene, would you like to bring your daughter over and watch some television with me, maybe a movie or something.” Of course I said yes right after I started breathing again. From that day on we spent so much time together and began to know each other very well.
About nine months later I heard them words that every woman longs to hear…..”I love you.”
As I was thinking about this today something I realized that this is the very reason so many Christians aren’t truly in love with Jesus. THEY DON’T SPEND MUCH TIME WITH HIM!!!!!
I myself was guilty of this, I attended church, paid my tithes, prayed every day, left my stereo on k-love, read my bible, and let people know about him but yet……there seemed to be something missing……. I seemed empty, I seemed alone, I seemed anxious, I seemed exhausted………
My realization……..even though I was going through the motions I was not truly engaging in a meaningful relationship. Hard words to write, but true. When I was dating my, now husband, I carried conversations upon hours, and not one day went by that I never spent time with him intentionally to know him better. And not only that I listened to him…….. I heard his heart!!!!
So in 2016 I am going to fall in love all over again with Jesus!!!!! Wholeheartedly…..completely, head over heels in love with the King of Kings!!!!!
Thank you Lord for opening my eyes, I pray everyone evaluate their lives, their walk with you and use 2016 as a new beginning to fall head over heels in love with the lover of their souls. In Jesus holy name, Amen!!!
