I can’t remember feeling love as real and as big as this. :bigeye:

All my life I was waiting, trying to find that person who I’ll have a happy ever after with. Yes, I am that kind of girl. I’ve been so in love so many times and I’ve been broken hearted probably as much. I was going through a pattern, going around in circles. I started wondering why I was given a heart like mine, I got so tired.. One day I decided to let it all go.

There was someone waiting all along, he’s always been there but I never really noticed. I couldn't understand how he can still stay after everything I put him through, how he can still give me so much after leaving him on the sidelines. So I asked him to make me understand, to do what it takes for me to get it, to make me love him.

He never stopped. So finally, I let him.
With him, I just know it’s forever. He’ll never cheat on me. He’ll never be too “busy” for me. He can never be far away from me. He always listens, I don’t have to worry about being wrong or looking stupid because he knows the very depths of me and he accepts me for my weaknesses and my imperfections. He loves me even during the times I’m being so hard on him or even those times I turned my back on him and did him wrong.


I’ll never have to worry about his intentions with me or what might be the real motive behind all the kindness and goodness, it is his very nature. He stays true to his words and never breaks his promises.

He’ll never be inconsistent or moody or complicated. When I don’t get it, he helps me understand. When it takes time for me to understand, he is always patient with me. When I’m having a hard time making decisions, he makes it easier for me and leads me into making the right one… And when I sometimes choose the wrong one, he doesn't take it against me. He gets to me and brings me back on track.

When I don’t feel like it, he’s still there, he never leaves yet he never forces himself to me. When I’m afraid he comforts me with his warm embrace and his loving words and gives me peace like no other. When I’m sad he is my joy. When I’m weary he is my strength. When I’m sick he is my healer. When people are against me he is for me.

He never walks out on me even when I walked out on him so many times. He doesn't bring up the past because he has already forgiven me. He never hurts me or pushes me away. He is my protection, my security, my shield. He’s the safest place I can ever be at. When I make a mistake he never tells me, “I told you so”.

He is the best provider, he knows what I need even before I say it.. And those things, deep within my heart that I want but don’t even know, even those he gives me delightfully. He listens to me so eagerly like it’s the first time, but when I can’t find and run out of words to say, I don’t have to say anything. I don’t have to constantly explain or defend myself to him. He knows me like no other and he totally gets me.

He leads me so lovingly. He is faithful even when I’m not. He always wants the best for me yet he never imposes. He cares for me like I’m a delicate creature but strengthens me like a mighty warrior.


He knows I need him, that my whole life depends on Him but he never abuses that. He assures me of his love everyday.

Everyday he amazes me, everyday he surprises me. EVERYDAY HE LOVES ME THE SAME.

And you know what? Even when he’s doing all that for me and more, he will never say “I did all these things for you, you have to do the same for me too.”

He knows I can’t with my own will and strength. It will never be enough, not even close to how much he’s been loving me and how he’d always love me.

You see, only He can love so perfectly. He will never ran out. The source of that love is unlimited because HE IS THE SOURCE.

Oh man! The king of all kings, Lord of all Lords, the best of the best, the standard of perfection, the ever present, all-powerful, all-knowing, ALMIGHTY GOD is my ULTIMATE LOVER! He’s been loving me even before my existence.

When I allowed him to love me that’s when everything changed. I encountered a different kind of love, not as the world know it and how I knew it. Now I can change my status and say I’m In A Lasting Relationship with the only one who’s permanent and everlasting. I am His and He is mine.

This love is impossible to give if you haven’t encountered it but when you do, you will never be the same again and you will live and love with a different standard, His.
So let’s not forget who first loved us and who will love us the same for all eternity, the one true love, the only happy ever after
.:flat4:

This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. (1 John 4:10 NLT)

If you ever get this far, thanks! Really just wanna share this to encourage whoever needs it :thumbsup:

Wait... so I have to COMPETE with Him?

That's it... I'm out

:lost:

:ahem: Hahaha! Nope, that should be your standard, our standard! Only God can love like that (and more!), only He can love perfectly... and as we strive to be more like Him, we should also strive to love like Him :cheer:

A pity that your personal Jesus and His love was so feeble that He had to wait for you to allow Him to love you.

My Jesus, the Christ I see triumphantly revealed in the Bible, gathered me to Himself in spite of my unwillingness.

I pity it too that He had to. That's why I understand of His faithfulness, I have experienced it first hand. In spite and despite of imperfect me, He never gave up on me. Just goes to show that His love endures forever.

He's been loving me even before He knit me in my mother's womb, nothing can ever stop Him from loving me, it just took me a while to accept and receive it-- doesn't mean it wasn't there. :)

You misunderstand. Jesus did not wait for you. He did not sit on the sidelines wondering and hoping if you would "accept" His love. He manifested a work of grace in your heart and redeemed you through His blood.

Thinking of and referring to Christ as a best friend or even lover in the temporal sense seems very crude to me. Such language in the Bible is always reserved for the church at large, never the individual.

I am fully aware of that :) "For it is by His grace we have been saved, not by works so that no one can boast." I'm just talking about a very personal relationship I have with Him. God is a personal God, we are all made uniquely by the Master's hands, fearfully and wonderfully. No two people are alike. Therefore, we have different personalities, preferences, characteristics that GOD knitted together for His purpose. He knows how to get to each and everyone of us, how to reveal Himself, how we will encounter Him and it's all in diff ways.Maybe you see Him in another personal way, but to me He reveals that He is truly the lover of my soul! He is! We, the church is His bride after all ;)

Thanks sis! Haha! Not everyone will agree to us. It's alright.. What we say or do, we say and do to ultimately please God and give Him all the glory! :thumbsup:

I know we're the bride of Christ, but this "Jesus is my heavenly boyfriend" thing wears me down sometimes.

Great post. :thumbsup:

He is all I need. When we pursue Him we just get closer and our relationship becomes oh so personal and intimate.... I've been learning to pray as talking to my best friend. It's pretty incredible to be on that level with the ONE who made it all and chose to die for ME???? :bigeye:
