I had a friend, soulmate, that I honestly admired more than anyone, who was taken home to her Beloved. She always said that Jesus was her lover.

While this seemed strange to me at the time, I now can see a glimpse of what she meant.

Jesus is your man.

He is your hero.

He wrote you love letters for days long to read.

He gives you grace like you’ve never experienced.

He always hears you.

He always understands you, better than you understand yourself.

He is ever-present.

He literally drained his blood and endured unimaginable pain, humiliation and persecution for you.

He took the bullet.

For his love for you.

This is the deepest and truest type of love.

He sacrificed his comfort and rule.

For another he loved.

You.

This isn’t a myth.

It is recorded in history with numerous eye witnesses.

This is truth at its core.

Yet no human can ever fulfill this.

For those that are married, this does not mean that you should compare or that your spouse does not love you, but they should resemble this, more importantly, so should you.

If you’re single, know, that He can meet all your needs and more, if you will let Him.

He is the example.

Love is sacrifice.

Love is transparency.

Love is humble.

Love is overwhelming, when recognized.

Love is action.

Love doesn’t live in the world of words.

Love is only experienced and then felt.

End of story.
