Love Lessons

God has a very interesting way of showing me His heart. '

These lessons are difficult but unforgettable.

I know as a human I can't possibly understand His love but he reveals it to me in layers.

I won't tell you all the details of each lesson but here are some things I have come to know personally about Him.

His love is relentless.
His love is unconditional.
Even when our eyes aren't on Him, we are still at the center of His heart.

His love for us never changes.
He made us for Him.
His simplest desire is for us to love Him in return.

When he rebukes the church at Ephesus saying,"You have lost your first love", He is trying to tell them that they are missing the whole point. God is love. Real love. The only true love that exists. He gave his ONLY son to show us how much he loves us. So often we leave our lover out in the cold. He painted the picture of Hosea and Gomer to show us how much he loves us yet we still miss the point. We still leave Him longing. Or worse, we don't give Him any of us.
