When you’re dating someone, in those very first initial stages, it feels amazing.
You’re getting the attention you want, he’s hanging onto your every word and getting to know him is exciting and new.
It’s so much FUN! You feel like you’re soaring above the clouds. Like for the first time in your life, you’ve found someone who gets you, who truly understands you, who truly cares about you like no one ever has before.
It’s an incredible experience.
But as time goes on, for most couples after you’ve been married a few years, that spark, that fires, seems to fade away.
It’s life and routine.
Many women feel it’s like picking up after kids, changing dirty diapers, feeling frustrated because your husband left for work…AGAIN…without taking out the trash.
The butterflies are gone. No nervous knots. It just becomes more and more mundane over time.
This is not at ALL what God intends marriage to be like, but so many women I talk to feel like this.
What if you could fall in love with someone and ALWAYS be on cloud 9?!?!
What if you could always have that amazing feeling of soaring above the clouds and it never ends?
That’s what falling in love with Jesus is like!!!!!!!!!!
There’s no mundane or average here! There’s no coming down from the clouds because He’s PERPETUALLY PERFECT!
He will never disappoint you, always listen to you, and if He says He’s going to do something, you can bank on it.
You never need a break from him because he’s always loving you exactly how YOU need to be loved, ALL…the…time!
You never need to worry about your husband not meeting all your needs (as a human, no one can!) because God is there, covering all the gaps.
Husband too busy or tired to spend time with you? Go to God! He’s always “on”, always accessible, ALWAYS there for you to spend time with. He never fails. His love for you is perfect.
And since He INVENTED love, let’s take a look at what HE says love is, in these 30 Bible verses about love. Then, spend some time asking Him to show you, experientially, what HIS love is like.
Draw close to Him, every day, and you will be filled with THE most amazing love and joy you’ve ever experienced in your whole entire life!
Wanna be loved? Go to the Source of love…God!
