First Love

People are so confident in claiming that they love God.

Is it that people just really love so less or people just don't understand what real love is?

Personally, I can't really claim that I love God. To speak of such love is bold. Imagine talking about your love for a powerful God who knows our hearts and sees everything we do. We can fool people, lie to them, and make them believe our words but God knows our hearts even before we utter our words.

I just wouldn't be able to claim that I love God, not only because I know that I can't fool Him but because I knew love this way, that when I love someone, I want to know more about him –and if I may, I want to know everything about him. When I love someone, I want to always be with him; I want to always talk with him.

When I love someone, I appreciate him that I celebrate him, praise him and compliment him. When I love someone, I put him first, I serve him, follow him and trust him.

And I knew that when I really love someone, I care less about my own happiness and care more of his own.

Knowing real love this way, I really think that I have this "imperfect" love for God; I can never love Him enough and I can never out-love Him.

I want to love Jesus more, and if there's one thing I've learned on how to do so, I learned to focus less on my love for Him and more on His love for me.

"Jesus, you are worthy of love all the more for you find us –undeserving– to be worthy."
