When me and my wife were single and dating, we spend all of our time together. We dreaded not being around each other. Every opportunity we could be together we were together. On the outside looking in on our relationship people could not understand why we were always together and they felt it was unhealthy. No one and nothing could keep us away from each other.
When we really meet Jesus for ourselves and receive His love into our hearts. We don’t want to be apart from Him. Our lives are centered on being in His presence and anything that is a hindrance is dropped from our lives. We are no longer bound to how others do things. Our care is to be in the presence of the One we love. People will look at your relationship with God like “it does not take all that” but when you are in love you do things that you would not normally do. Most of us do not naturally find joy in the midst of a storm but with Jesus His love strengthens us to receive joy in spite of our natural circumstances. Nothing can separate us from the love of Christ. No matter what others might think He is the most important aspect of our life and we are blessed to have a relationship with Him. Let us desire to love God more than this world, let us love God more than our relationships, let us love God more than anything else. He alone is worthy of our hearts.
"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Nay in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:35, 37-39 Wow!!! what an amazing scripture. God bless you.
