I fell in love with him when I was still in high school and I was giddy over his his attention. But my love wasn't strong enough. When my friends made fun of how strong my feelings were, I caved and kept my love for him hidden. Yet he kept on patiently loving me.
As I grew older, my love began to grow cold. He pursued me relentlessly but I strayed. I gave my love and attention to others, but even though I was having fun, I was not happy. Then, it happened. After so many years, I found him again...as if he was ever lost! All those years, he was just there, waiting for me to turn around. He loved me before. He loves me still. He loves me with an everlasting love. He said, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you, Lollette, with unfailing kindness." Jeremiah 31:3c (NIV)
It has been 22 years since I publicly and proudly declared that I love Jesus and I'm His. And He gives me reasons everyday to fall in love with Him even more.
