The Love of Your Life!

"Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for He hath said, "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee" (Hebrews 13:5 KJV)."


I spent so many years seeking the love of my life that I am amazed I could not see my Prince Charming was waiting for me with open heart and open arms from before I was even born! But I was stubborn, and rebellious, and bound and determined to find the perfect man for me. My Prince never gave up on me, however. Through the abandonment of my earthly father and then of two dear husbands, my Prince never turned away.


How easily He could have decided not to take the leftovers of other men. Instead, when I at last stumbled, fell, and broke into a million pieces, guess who welcomed me with mercy that endures forever? Jesus. I will never have the words to describe how my heart shattered at the loss of the men I have loved most on this earth, but then nor will I ever be able to put human words to the magnificence of the love of my life - the one I sought all along and could not see stood right before me, waiting.


Though I had spoken His name before, prayed in His name, talked about Him, even studied Him, I did not ever truly let Him into the depths of my heart until I was too broken to look any further than right before my very eyes. He is the one who will never leave, and the one who will never forsake me. Today, as He should have been all along, He is my first love. He is my forever love. And He is waiting at the door to your heart. 


Please, dear princess, do not just say the words you believe in Jesus. Open your heart, no matter how broken it might be, or how full it might be with a beautiful life. No matter the condition of your heart, open the door and beckon Him in. He calls. He wants to be your first love, the love of your life!
