Okay, so lemme start out by saying that, this post will not be about relationships from a Christian point of view. And to tell you the truth, I don't really know where I'll be going with this piece.. But I've digressed.
Christianity is purely a matter of handling the affairs of your heart and acting upon that. Never heard it put that way? Lemme explain. People generally think of Christianity as that religion where you stop having real fun to do what they say God says which is actually boring and not at all what you really want to do. But it's not at all that. Not even close. I would like to clearly state that I am not of the belief of forcing people to become Christians or forcing them into churches. I strongly believe that Christianity is a matter of understanding just how much God loves us so we can in turn offer him our lives - our entire lives- as "repayment" for everything he did for us out of love. Christianity is about falling in love with Jesus, thus "Affairs of the heart".
Falling in love with Jesus is not less intense than falling in love with your boyfriend/girlfriend. As a matter of fact it's way more intense. Loving God - not his many attributes- is such an overwhelming feeling; it feels like you're being totally drowned in affection... the more you fall in love with him is the more he gives you reasons to love him. The cycle of reciprocated love with God is the greatest feeling in life, I promise.
The issue is, as humans, (it is my opinion that)we are incapable of fully loving as God loves. So, God loves us through absolutely everything we do. e v e r y t h i n g. But we don't do the same. And so we sin. And break our God's heart. Our Saviour. Our friend. Our only true love. And He in turn loves us even harder so we may come back to him and seek forgiveness. But the cycle then starts over and He must endure the pain of our sin and betrayal again. and again. and again. We continuously break our Master's heart just for Him to mend it and piece us back together again and continue loving us with his unconditional love.
And all He asks of us is that we come to know Him; come to love Him. He asks that we give Him all that we have ... He asks that we fully surrender what little we have so he can bestow on us the bountiful blessings he has stored up for us. God is calling us to a personal relationship where He can be our father and our friend. He asks us to surrender our hearts and our will to Him because He knows that the result will be nothing but greatness. He seeks us out and requests that we obey Him so that he can transform our lives and blow our minds.
Will you give in? Will you give Him authority over the affairs of your heart?
