Falling in Love: When you first fall in love you’re excited, energized and eager to tell the world about how awesome your new mate is! You sing their praises to anyone who will listen. But over time, the excitement wears down. You start taking them for granted, and with all the hustle and bustle of life, distance comes between you, and you expect them to just understand when you no longer make them number one in your life. Then you wonder why your relationship just isn’t as exciting and wonderful as it used to be and question what could have possibly gone wrong? This scenario is the same for new Christians who fall in love with Jesus. They are so exuberant in their new found faith that they share Jesus with everyone they meet. But as life gets busy and they slack off on their alone time with God . . . their love relationship with Him suffers. Before they even realize it, they no longer read their Bible, or even pray. The number one ingredient absolutely necessary to maintain any love relationship . . . is communication! And your relationship with God is no different. The minute you stop communicating with your heavenly Father, you will start drifting away. Just like Peter, who walked on water–the minute he took his eyes of Christ, he began to sink! Nurture your love relationship with Jesus by falling in love with Him every day–through prayer and studying His Holy Word. Text: Deuteronomy 6:5, Psalm 37:5, Matthew 6:33, Romans 8:28
