Wow! To fall in love... there just isn’t anything like
it, is there? Everything becomes new and exciting.
Being in love makes you love everybody and everything!
There are first loves, puppy loves, true loves, long
distance loves... (add your favorites here).
Sorry to disappoint some of you but this is not an
online love story. :( This is the story of my true
love. I actually had known him for awhile
and
even loved him but then I just kind of lost interest.
He told me recently that he never stopped loving me
even when I would have nothing to do with him
(isn’t that special! I mean,
really, how much more can you expect from love?)
Anyway, we had been together for years. I loved him
and he loved me. I’m not really sure when or even how,
but I slowly began to lose interest in our relationship
and him. I’d make excuses to not see him,I wasn’t
accepting his calls and I hardly ever tried to contact
him. Every now and then I would remember how it used
to be and I would yearn for those times again....
those quiet times, those intimate moments, the times when
I didn’t know what to say and he would just be
there for me. He was always comforting, protective and
caring and he always knew just what to say and just
what to do no matter how hopeless I felt.
So, when I felt alone and remembered how good it used
to be, I would call him and stop by his house. I enjoyed
the time we spent together but it just wasn’t the
same, you know? So much had happened and I wondered
if it was true what people say... “you can’t go back.”
I tried a few times to make it work but it seemed to
take alot of effort on my part and I guess I wasn’t
willing to put that much energy into trying to make the
relationship work again. Besides, I figured if he
wanted to make it work, it wouldn’t require so much effort.
So I settled for being friends. We would still get
together occasionally and sometimes it even felt like
we were rebuilding what we used to have and that there was
a chance it could work, but then alot of time
would pass when we didn’t get together and I didn’t call
and the distance settled in again.
Then, a week before Valentine’s Day, I was at a weekend
gathering with friends and he had been invited.
It was a little awkward at first, I
had forgotten
how to talk to him, it seemed we didn’t have alot in
common, but just seeing him again, rekindled something
within me. I realized what I had given up. I missed
his friendship, his guidance, his love. I
missed the way we used to laugh together, cry
together and share our hearts with one another. I missed just
being near him, I missed hearing his voice and feeling
his arms around me.
I decided right then that I was going to start
spending time with him. I would call him and
visit him and have him over to my house. I knew that
I had disappointed him, that I had broken his heart...
but when I watched him that weekend and when he looked
at me and the way he said my name, I knew that he
still cared, that he still loved me! It was incredible.
I couldn’t imagine how his love had not grown cold.
I didn’t understand how he could still care after I had
deserted him. But he did! I was falling fast...
that kind of love is pretty hard to resist... and even if
I could, why would I WANT to?
After that weekend, we spoke daily. He was always
there when I called. It was like he was just
waiting for me. And it was the highlight of my day,
I couldn’t wait to leave work because I knew that
I would be seeing him. We got together with friends
a couple nights that week and they couldn’t believe
how excited we were! They knew something was going on (how
do you hide this much joy?) My co-workers knew someone
new was in my life. My outlook on life changed, my
outlook at my job changed, I viewed life with more vigor
than I ever had before.
In just days, our love was greater than it had ever
been. He never criticized me for the things that had
happened, he never reminds me of the way I treated him,
HE SIMPLY LOVES ME!
And he loves me unconditionally. I can’t tell you
how perfect his love is for me, words just can’t explain
it. You would really have to meet him and get to know him
to understand the way I feel. I know if you knew him you
would feel the same way about him as I do! He’s
everything I need him to be... he’s everthing I ever
wanted and more. He’s passionate, caring, understanding,
forgiving (I know this for certain!), he knows what
I’m thinking, when I’m hurting, when I need
a friend, when I just need to be held. He encourages
me, strengthens me, takes pride in me and always
stands by me. He gently corrects me when I let my
emotions and feelings take over. He lets me talk!! And
he listens!!! (I’m telling you ladies, he’s perfect!)
I can tell him anything, and he never treats me as
if what I have to say is unimportant. He’s always
interested in how I feel and how my day went. I am
so fortunate that I found him again. And so glad
that he doesn’t hold a grudge, that he was able to see
past all the bad things about me to the heart and
potential that was hidden inside. I am thrilled that
he is back in my life and I am determined never to let
him go again. I want to appreciate him and
never take him for granted. I want to give him the same love
that he gave me.
I pray that each of you
will know it too.
Oh, if you get a chance, it would be great if you
could call him. I know he would love to hear from you :)
His door is always open too, he’s a real people person.
If you can’t go to him, he’ll come to you... isn’t he wonderful?!
His name is Jesus... Call him.
He’s been waiting for you.
