Love of my life

The season of Advent this year has been more meaningful to me than any other. For the first time I actually realize what a blessing it is to have Christ come down for us in the form of a man and to save us from sin and death. And now I realize that serving Him involves a lot more than what I did previously. I realize that I need to love Him as much as He loves me, and I came to that realization through a mini-heart break.

So the thing is that I had known this guy for over 5 years and we'd been friends since then and sometime around last year we tried being more than friends (didn't work out too beautifully) but we decided to still be friends after that. Problem was in my head he was still a LOT more than just a friend (I know, shoot me now). Then he just fell off the radar for quite some time, no calls, no texts, nothing. I was worried as any other friend would be because he could have been hurt or something, but if he wasn't hurt and was just ignoring me,then that would just be a whole different story. Turns out it was the latter. I was pretty hurt by that. I mean here is someone whom I give my time and affection and this is exactly what I get in return.

But I thank God for the ways in which he uses people. In that time of his absence, (the first two weeks of Advent), lots of things were already going on for preparation (Amazing Gospel readings, talks etc). I can't remember at what time it hit me, but it dawned on me that I had a love that would never go away, a love that lasts forever, a love that can never be questioned. And yet I searched for love elsewhere? (At that point i felt dumb). And I surrendered everything I had to Jesus and I made up my mind that he would be my first love and any other guy would have to settle for second place.

So this Advent season has really been an eye-opener that Jesus Christ really and truly loves us, and wants to be with us as the center of our lives if we let him in. So as we prepare for his coming, let us invite him unreservedly to be the center of everything that we do, let us love Him and go to Him in prayer and thanksgiving!

Ephesians 3:17-19
Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
