How's your love life?

my first new wk away from regimentation. Still cant get my computer to work. Or more like I just gave up on tat fella. So I was pestered by someone to type somethin since i'm not reli doin anythin. and i intended to wake up at 6 today and exercise, but i guess the bed was reli comfortable. anyway i'll make up with salsa at 7.30 later. hahas.

anyway interestin title aye? How's your love life? its a valid qn too.

I can ask it in many different ways yet, the first thing i noe tat would come most of ya, love life? You mean between me and a significant other? Me and THE ONE. Wells if you think it that way, ok good. Coz ur interested in my earthly matters. But watabt my other love life? With the Significant One? Have you ever wondered if its fine?

ANd I pose this qn not only to myself but to others as well. How's your love life with God? Do you even have one in the first place? And if this thing abt a love life with God unsettles u or confuses you, and ur thinking wat in the world am I talking abt, How can this God who is so holy and mighty be so personal?

The answer is simple, because He is. Because He wants to. He's reaching out. Has always been reaching out. Frm the first man till now, It was never reli abt us but Him.

The relationships we have are mirrors of the beauty of the relationship we can have with a King, Saviour, Lord and friend.

Am I just sayin this out of my own words? Hmmm, wells the Bible does say somethin abt a Love relationship with Him. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

If He didn't first love us we wont be able to Love Him. It's His love that compels us to this relationship. This love life. But to love Him? What's tat suppose to mean?

John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

Keeping His commandments. Obedience. TOugh right? Coz we know we're not faithful to this love life. We are adulterers in our own ways. Because our old flesh seems to over power the spirit in us. But is tat always so? Is it not that because of the cross He has overcome death? And that the shackles of sin which we were once bound were broken because of His death on the cross? So is it valid to say such things? No. If we keep on sayin I'm weak I'm weak, its like telling Jesus our Lord and saviour, I dun believe you are my strength to overcome my difficulties in life.

He showed the example of a love relationship with His father. Obedience to the pt of death on the cross. He died for us. It showed the ultimate act of Love that our Father in heaven has done. Ur life, ur salvation is more impt than His son.

So how is ur love life? What hinders that from flourishing? How are u abiding in His love if u dun keep his commandments? If u dun abide in Him?

We always wanna be tat perfect person for tat someone who is on earth, who just like you and I will one day die, but are we trustin in Him to make us that perfect person for Him who is the same yesterday today and forever?

I'm not sayin my love life is perfect. I'm not sayin I hv the answers.

How do we know how to keep such a relationship if we dun read His love letter, dun talk to Him, dun think of Him, dun spend time with Him. We can set time with those ppl on earth but God? whom we shd give our all, we devote maybe just a sunday or a saturday?

So how's your love life? I'm thinkin of tat too. How is my love life, because just as it said in
matt 6:33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.' This relationship demands our priority, it demands our first as everythin else is secondary and over time will be added unto you. And if u are not in this relationship or want to have it, just ask. He has always been wanting to Love you. And it doesn't end by just accepting in word, its a life long process of melting u in His furnace to become the lover who'll enjoy Him forever...

So HOw's your love life? I'm working on it!
