I was reading through some of my older blogs...(yep)...and was cracking myself up at my analysis of DeAnna, the last bachelorette on NBC's "The Bachelorette".
I mentioned that she wasn't completely wack for choosing the guys who went above and beyond to prove their love for her. She was always bent towards the one who did something extra special. Who gave an action to demonstrate his love. Now the character of the one displaying the affection.....hard to say if DeAnna valued that. But she did value the outward expression.
This got me thinking about the greatest of all demonstrations of love: Jesus paying our eternal debt through His death on the cross. Offering us abundant life if we just believe and receive His beautiful gift of salvation. LIFE. Abundant. For FREE. Because of His sacrifice. His payment of our debt. His defending US. An outward, obvious, undeniable display of love and affection for His people.
His way of going above and beyond to show His love for His bride-it tops them all. :)
HE IS THE ULTIMATE ROMANTIC!
He seeks hearts.
He pursues lives.
He heals brokenness and redeems the sinner.
He beckons the wanderer.
He loves times infinity. :)
He is always available.
He listens to our every word.
He restores.
He comforts.
He actually does know what I'm thinking. :)
He is my portion: what I need, when I need it.
He will never stop loving me.
He sings, rejoices, dances over me.
He knows all of my days.
