Falling in Love

Do you remember when you fell in love?   I do.  I remember it like it was yesterday.  I remember wanting to spend hours and hours with my love.  I remember that burning NEED to be with my love.  I remember how I would do whatever my love wanted.  I remember wanting to spend hours and hours reading the words of love written by my love.
Do you remember when it happened to you?
I was in church on Sunday when that feeling hit me all over again.  That need to just BE WITH my love. 
We all need that.  We all need to feel that love every day.  We need to know that it is not a feeling that has to wane or subside over the course of time.
Am I talking about my husband right now?  Yes and no.  I do remember all those feelings about Keith.  I still feel them much of the time.  He is the one person on earth that I desire with all my heart.  I am PASSIONATE about him.
But in church on Sunday, it was God I was thinking about.  I was thinking about when I fell in love with Him.  When I started to understand the depths of His love for me and my heart began to open up to Him.  I was thinking about the passion I had for getting into His word, for talking with Him, for talking about Him.  I was ON FIRE for Him. 
Do not get me wrong, I still love God with all my heart and soul.  But just as many people fall into routine ho-hum in human romance, I have fallen into a ho-hum with my divine romance.
God's passion for me has not changed, I have just started taking Him for granted.  I know that He will be there so I run through my crazy days just depending on that.
I am so grateful for that little prick on Sunday.  I want my passion for God to be a FIRE IN MY SOUL!  I want Him to know I do not just take for granted all that has been given through His Son!
