Falling In Love All Over Again...

As I mentioned in my previous blog post, one of the biggest lessons I learned in 2009 was how it felt to love someone, but also how it felt to get your heart broken.

I feel as if this is one of the most important things I have learned recently.

Over the past two years, I definitely let my guard down . I started spending too much time with other people doing other things, and, although God was still in the back of my mind, I veered from His complete path. Plain and simple, I fell in love with other things in my life and didn't put what mattered the most first, my Jesus.

I finally realized this about two and a half months ago. My heart was completely broken and the only thing that I felt I had left was Jesus. End of story. Every free moment I had I was reading my Bible and praying, and to be honest, I hadn't done it in so long, I felt as if I was a brand new person. God revealed scripture after scripture to me, day after day. I searched endlessly, it seemed, for what went wrong and then I came to the realization that I was giving my love and devotion to other things, rather than Christ.

On October 21st, I fell deeply in love with my Savior all over again and I never want to fall out.
It's the absolute best feeling in the world. I don't know how to explain it otherwise.

"Don't love the world's ways. Don't love the world's goods. Love of the world squeezes out love for the Father. Practically everything that goes on in the world-wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, wanting to appear important-has nothing to do with the Father. It just isolates you from Him. The world and all its wanting, wanting, wanting is on the way out-but whoever does what God wants is set for eternity."
-1 John 2:15-17

"God remembered us when we were down, His love never quits. Rescued us from the trampling boot, His love never quits. Takes care of everyone in time of need. His love never quits. Thank God, who did it all! His love never quits!"
-Psalm 136:23-26
