It’s my wedding anniversary! Whoop! Whoop! 11 years down, 4 kids later and forever to go! Look at us now!
Typically around anniversaries I find myself asking my spouse, “Why did you want to marry me?” Or, “When did you know I was the “one?”
This year though, I found myself asking a new question. I asked, “Do you still love me?” I told him, “I know you love me, but after all this time are you “still in love with me?”
Do you ever ask God if he is still in love with you? Have you stopped and considered whether your heavenly father still loves you in spite of the years, the weight gain, the bad choices and sometimes even contrary attitudes? Is God still in love with you?
Love by definition is an intense feeling of deep affection. It carries the connotation of fondness, endearment and intimacy. Love can take on a form of a noun (person, place or thing) and also a verb (action or activity). No matter what country, nationality or dialect you speak, love is universal and can be understood by all!
I John 4:8,19 reads “God is love” and “We love him, because he first loved us.”
You see in asking my spouse if he is still in love with me, I'm in short asking does he still love himself.
If God is love it would be pretty hard for him to deny love to anyone. No different from an athlete who does not want to be athletic. How can you deny who you are?
Like God, my husband chose to love me. He decided to have feelings of deep affection for me, which led to him taking the step to propose and marry me. God also chose to love you. He proposed Jesus to you so you could receive his love and be married to Him.
God is love. He can never deny himself. He will never deny you.
Is He “still in love?” “ABSOLUTELY!” “Are you?”
