All my life I have heard that God is love, that He loves me, is jealous for me, etc. It has always been something that I believed but had no comprehension of, sure love is great...I love my family, they are awesome, but it isn't as if I have moments where I am absolutely desperate to be with them, where if I am not right there next to them that I might just shrivel up and die....
Love: the benevolent affection of God for His creatures, or the reverent affection due from them to God.
There it is, right there in the online dictionary for all to read, yet that does not even begin to describe His love! Here is another: to need or require; benefit greatly from. That is on my side. I need and require His love!
I Adore His love! He is jealous for us!! He love for us is so intense that He interrupts our conversation, our work, our sleep, and says come! Come, be with me!
Research time! Jealous comes from the Greek word for zeal. Zeal: fervor for a person, cause, or object; eager desire or endeavor; enthusiastic diligence; ardor.
Ahh!! I am zealous! I have found where I belong, right here, by His side!
I apologize in advance to anyone with whom I might be talking to, He has been interrupting my conversations and I cannot help but reply!
I hope that anyone reading this is encouraged! Ask for God to reveal His true love for you! Ask Him how much He loves you, He will tell you!

I am so glad you have that love for God! When you were little, I prayed that if I didn't do anything else right, that you would grow up to love Jesus! Even before you were born I prayed that prayer. God has answered that pray beyond my expectations and imagination.That is the best gift a parent could receive. I love you so much!
