I think about you all the time.
When I wakeI am already thinking about you.
When I sleep
you are my last conscious thought.
I replay the times we have together,
and I am there with you again,
in the midst of glorious life.
I repeat the words you have spoken to me,
and my mind embraces them afresh,
with joy and gratitude
that you are in my life.
I feel so safe when I am with you,
as if no darkness could touch me,
or anything go wrong with my day.
I find myself talking about you to others,
and catch myself smiling in the mirror.
My heart is full of you.
There is little space for other things.
Things that once seemed so important,
are sidelined and forgotten.
My heart is yours forever.
My Lord and Saviour.
May I never lose my first love for you.
Some of these words are used when we describe falling in love with another human. Human first love seems to wane after some time to be replaced with other emotions. I remember how passionate I was to begin with about sharing the good news of receiving salvation through Jesus with others, even if they thought me strange or didn't want to listen. I hope my first love for God has deepened over the years rather than subtly fading to familiarity or complacency.
