My first love is Jesus Christ. Sometimes, I forget that. But He's the one who holds my heart. He carried me through the tough times, and He pursued me until I was His. I could never thank Him enough for that. My love story started with Christ. It began at that moment I could never forget. It was that moment of complete and total surrender. Falling on my knees in awe of a God who would forgive my faults, mistakes and still love every part of me. I am in love. I am in love with my first love, Jesus Christ. He is and will always be my forever love.
No one can satisfy me like He does. No one can touch my heart like He has. No one. This morning I needed this reminder. One of my favorite songs is Divine Romance by Phil Wickham. I love those lyrics. "In Your Presence, I'm completely satisfied. For you, I sing, I dance. I rejoice in this Divine Romance." That says it all. He displayed true love on the cross over 2000 years ago for me. Little 'ol me. He showed me a love that no man could ever show me. For as long as I live, I will have my first love by my side. He's been there from the very beginning, and He's been there every step of the way... I cannot imagine life without Him.
One of my favorite verses is Proverbs 4:23 which says "Guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life." Jesus is the guard keeper of my heart. I gave that job to Him a while ago, and He hasn't let me down since. My prayer is that He keeps guarding my heart.... because it's been broken before, and I pray that was the last time. Jesus healed my heart over and over, and I trust that He will do as long as I need Him to do so. My heart is too precious to Him. Right now, God is holding the key to my heart. He's holding it safe. Safe in His hands.
For the past couple of days, I've been remembering my first love, Jesus. I'm re-realizing how important that is, too :)
