Have you ever experienced true love?

Love in its simplest form: opening doors, thinking ahead of your needs, gently correcting your faults, comforting, present, and holding you in high esteem. Love so easy, you wonder how you got lucky. Sometimes, in doubt of your good fortune, your heart pants in wonder, and you ponder like King David—what did I do to deserve this kind of love?

Have you experienced true love?

Love in its grandest form: sacrificial in every sense of the word—letting life and will go for you. Taking your place, paying prices they never owed, bearing a new name to identify as you. It's almost like giving your kidney, but even then, you had one more to live on. But they gave their hearts, even when you were unsure.

Have you experienced true love?

One that let's you fly yet brings you into oneness with your lover.

Love that never tires of hearing your voice and keeps knocking till you let them in. Have you experienced first-hand love—original, pure, reckless, and empowering? One you never had to question. Love without a shadow of turning. Zero doubts. Zero questions. Zero fears. Love consistent with the reliable character of your lover. Love, solid enough; you only had to lean in.

Have you tasted LOVE, dear because this and more has Christ shown you—over and over. He chases after and keeps knocking. Longing for that first encounter, for when He was your only love.

Jesus Loves You

Do not even doubt for a second that true love exists, because it does, and Jesus is full of it. He showers you with it daily. He chose you and hasn't changed his mind.

Don't leave love unrequited.

Love Forward. Love Well. Love the Father, for He first loved you!

Happy Valentine's Day!
