"It's really cool you want to be passionately in love
with Jesus as much as you can, but please don't
beat yourself up about this. Be prepared for the
seasons when you'll barely hang onto God with an
intellectual thread, and other seasons where you'll
be so head-over-heals for Jesus that you're getting
tattoos of Him on your rib cage. Be ready to be
honest in your dry valleys, and ready to rejoice
on the mountain top. Enjoy both seasons, because
both help you grow and both have significance in
our lives. The winter and fall teach you to grow
deep roots into God even though you don't feel Him,
and the summer and spring are those powerful
weeks of blooming fruits and plentiful harvest that
will have you laughing and weeping at the same
time. Soon you'll see: loving Jesus is not even
really up to you, because He's the One who woos,
who draws, who beckons, who calls. Loving Him is
the easy part; God loving you cost His Son. The
more you know that it's less about you, the more
free you will be to love God all the more.
