When we hear about first love, it cross on our mind that its about someone that in the past or recently we love. Is it our boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife. Well, it isn't wrong. But what i trying to say here is my LOVE, JESUS CHRIST.
My whole life since i'm in kindergarten, the perception about love is really got blinded by the world. It is not that we cannot love other with different sex, in this case i do can love a man and claim him to become my boyfriend. But LOVE is have a really deeper meaning than showing our attention, our romance, our love with gift etc.
If you want, try to take a time to think, to evaluate, what LOVE really is. According to the Bible, LOVE is the biggest one among Faith and Hope (1 Corinthians 13 verse 13). While in King James version using the word Charity. Okay, not trying to make you all confuse. But charity, for me, is doin something nice with genuine, pure, sincere heart to everyone around us no matter how bad they done to us. It same with LOVE.
When we love someone, right away we will try so hard to know what is he/her favourite food or movies or books, etc. We will collect all the information from other about the person. What we forget here is to take a wisdom so we can use the break before we go into deep.
Maybe some of you already read 'I kissed dating GOODBYE' and 'Boy meets Girl' by Joshua Harris (not trying to promote the books). Those are good books. I love when i read the first book. There i can finally understand. To love someone, we have to be patient, not make the person become our center of life, we have to be more wise with our feeling. For love is more than a feeling. It's a commitment.
From here i have been thinking alot. When i said 'i love YOU, JESUS CHRIST', is it my pure attention? Am i be honest with my feeling? Or i just depend on what i'm feeling? Am i trust HIM all time? Cause love need also a trust from us.
I do love GOD. When first time i surrender my life to follow Him, everything is okay. Even i do sometimes done some sin. But slowly but sure it changes. I become more patient. I become gentle. I become concern with other. When i falling in love for the first time with Him, i will spending many of my time to talk with Him.
And now. . . . It already 11st years. Many things happened. A few time GOD like asking me to go back to my first love. But it is different now. Cause now, the first love meaning here up to the new level. Which is more time with HIM, in the middle of my activities. More patient, for we will meet other that have so different character. More honest. More love. More wise in, asking GOD before, taking a decission. Forgive more.
For HE want us to take next level of Faith, Hope and Love in Him, to become His beautiful bride.
Halelujah. . . .
Amen.
