For the Love of You. . .

Is your heart breaking?  Do you feel all used up sometimes, lonely, wanting to feel alive again?

Because of Him I’m alive. It’s because of His sacred heart within me beating, that makes me feel so alive every day, even in the bad, and lonely times.

Some people have a casual relationship with Jesus. They see him when they want, and call on Him when they want. They praise Him in the good times, and get mad at Him in the bad times. That’s not love, that’s love with conditions. That’s got to break His heart, especially when He loves us under any condition.  Casual, conditional relationships, usually do break someone’s heart.

It’s like when growing up, in those dating game years and someone’s heart always got broken because one cared more than the other. Someone told you how much they loved you, and you believed them with your whole heart, and gave a part of yourself away. That really hurts! I think a lot of us have experienced that horrible feeling at least one time in our life. Some of us experience that even now in our own marriages.  There is only ONE who cares for you more than anyone in your life. I am giving my whole self, my whole heart, to the only ONE who won’t break it, My King of Kings!!!! My only Prince charming, who charms me, and gives me lovers goose bumps EVERY DAY.  I won’t just have a casual relationship with the only One who can be, and is, my everything - JESUS!!!

In today’s generation, it seems like casual sex is no big deal. I try to teach the younger generation, and some even older, that are still chasing after dead end relationships, that there’s only one worth chasing after. But if we would just stay still long enough, we would realize He’s been there the whole time waiting for us to notice Him. He is trying to get your attention, even in your lonely marriage. Look to Him, and don’t take your eyes off Him to how someone else is treating you. There with Him, and only in Him, you will find acceptance, and be loved unconditionally.

"Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much." (Luke 7: 47).  When you experience God’s love and forgiveness, He will make you feel so alive and accepted; captivating you by who He is, and how He moves. What other love can take your brokenness and turn it into innocence? Like she says in the song, "I watched you carve streets of gold, from the sand and gravel." He will become the only road on that big highway you’ve been traveling that you will want to take. He is the only road that leads to glory.

I pray He becomes your deepest longing, and you see Him everywhere, and in everything. Then everything you do, will be for the love of Jesus.  The book of Matthew tells us: "seek ye first the kingdom of God. . . and all these things shall be added unto you." (Matthew 6: 33).  Life starts to make sense when we get the order right.

Be that sky on fire.

Grace and peace to you
