The Affect of Love
As I approach my 4th wedding anniversary without my husband, who is in God’s presence, I marvel how the love that we shared during seven months of marriage can have such a profound change in my life. The short time that I knew him in proportion to how long he has been gone is great. But my life will never be the same.
As I compare this to the relationship I have with Jesus, my life has never been the same since I put Jesus number one in my life. Knowing Him intimately and trying to comprehend how much He really loves me motivates me to love, please and obey Him in any way I can.
“We love Him because He first loved us.” I John 4:19 NKJV
“To know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.” Ephesians 3:19 NKJV
“For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.”
II Corinthians 5:14,15 NKJV
