I fell in love with this handsome college guy one Easter morning. I met him and wanted to know him through and through. I wanted to talk to him, stay with him, never leave him. It was all rather shocking to me. I had never experienced anything like that before… so I married him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only other One who did something similar to me was God -when I was really young. I had heard about Him, but I didn\u2019t get the full story until years later. Either way, that same insatiable appetite was undeniable: to know Him more, see Him, somehow get closer to Him.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A child has no real agenda. They aren\u2019t trying to get something from you, they just love, to love. This is why I think Jesus called His followers little children<\/em>. They only wanted to be near Him. To know Him. To love Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love t<\/em><\/strong>he LORD God with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind and all your strength and then love others as you love (care f<\/em>or) yourselves.<\/em><\/strong> Luke 10:27

It\u2019s a natural flow. Being with God and learning about Him makes me love Him more. Trusting Him and allowing Him to love me, only draws us closer together. I can\u2019t help but then, love God\u2019s other children<\/em> who share this same joy and desire.. for more souls to know this amazing love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank You Jesus, for pursing me and for showing me a love that made me fall in love with You. For a child-like curiosity You are still fulfilling. And a desire for simple faith, I love You for Who You are and all You\u2019ve done. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
