An Infinite Romance: inferior love just won't do




Infinite: never-ending, everlasting , limitless, no boundaries, immeasurable. I was talking with a couple of friends a few days ago and the two words "infinite romance" came up while we were talking. I began to think about what that entailed. I have experienced a father telling me that he loved me, but have yet to experience the substance of relationship behind his words. I have experienced the love of my immediate family, but there are days that I do not even see or hear from them. I have experienced individuals in the Church tell me that they love me but then struggle to fellowship with me. I have never been seriously "in" love with anyone before; so I ask the question "can any love compare to the love that I am experiencing now with Christ Jesus through His grace?". I have never cared about about a person to the point where I felt incomplete without them, but I need God daily. People have told me that it is better to "have loved" than to "have not" loved at all. Every rendezvous that I have had with Jesus has never been disappointing. I have been on numerous dates where I wish I could have been somewhere else with someone else. I have never heard God tell me that he was too tired or too busy for me. When you have experienced inferior love and the shortcomings that come with inferior love there should be a desire in you that wants more. It is a shame to be at the point where you feel that you only deserve an inferior love. I am living proof that once you submit your lifestyle to God that His love will satisfy you. Until you have experienced this infinite romance you have never experienced a superior love which only comes through Jesus. I dedicate this blog post to my two dear friends; you know who you are.

Deacon, you have said it all; God gives you unconditional LOVE! Nothing like it and I don't know if someone could ever LOVE you the way God LOVES US; yes we will love each other, but will I lay down my life for you, can I give you everyting you NEED, can I fulfill that longing one might have... I honestly say NO!

This is so awesome! Truly "Can't Nobody Do Me Like Jesus!" This was truly an inspiration!

I really like this post Scott. I agree with everyones comments for God is Love. God's love shows us mercy from day to day. God's love never leaves us or forsakes us. No one can fill that void like Jesus!

I also touch and agree. There is nothing like God's unfailing, unconditional Love. As Christians it is important for us to also mirror the Agape Love that God has for us to others. Continue to Bless Us with your Blogs. God is doing amazing things in you.

So much truth in this! There is absolutely nothing that can compare to the love of Jesus! Think about it, the main relationship that lays the foundation for all others is the one we build with God. When all others fell, his will definitely stand the test of time.
