Remember when you first fell in
love and everyone said, “Oh, they’ll get over it.”
I am afraid that’s the way our
love for God is, so many believers have gotten over it.
The following is taken from “The
Gospel Herald.”
A gentleman who was a professed
Christian was taken seriously ill. He
became troubled about the little love he felt in his heart for God, and spoke
of his experience to a friend. This is
how the friend answered him: “When I go
home from here, I expect to take my baby on my knee, look into her sweet eyes,
listen to her charming prattle, and, tired as I am, her presence will rest me;
for I love that child with unutterable tenderness. But she loves me little. If my heart were breaking it would not
disturb her sleep. If my body were
racked with pain, it would not interrupt her play. If I were dead, she would forget me in a few
days. Besides this, she has never
brought me a penny, but was a constant expense to me. I am not rich, but there is not money enough
in the world to buy my baby. How is
it? Does she love me, or do I love
her? Do I withhold my love until I know
she loves me? Am I waiting for her to do
something worthy of my love before extending it?”
What to do:
✞ Always remember that God wants you to love Him, but He loves you, no matter what!
