I knew the
moment I fell in love with Him.
…it wasn't
when my would-be husband kissed me for the first time, though my
heart fluttered with passion. With that
one kiss, I knew he was a gift from God.
…it wasn't in
the miracle of healing when my lover was diagnosed with Cardiomyopathy. Instead, my mind ached with an abrupt
awareness of how fleeting this life really is.
…it wasn't even
when we stood in the presence of God, family, and friends, declaring our love
for one another and becoming one with the promise of two simple, yet highly
valued words. I Do. It was my fairytale
dream come true.
The moment I
fell in love with Him was life changing beyond my wildest imagination.
…it wasn't
when my husband and I struggled through infertility, only to discover God works
in His perfect timing. When we least
expected it, we received the blessing of answered prayer with the births of
each of our daughters. Our hearts still overflow with joy and gratitude.
…it wasn't during
our three year job layoff, the short sale of our home, our resulting move
across country, or our overwhelming concerns over money. God was our compass, our shelter, and our
umbrella of peace during the storm.
…it wasn't
even when I looked in the mirror one morning not long ago to find a
transformed, beautiful work of art - His still unfinished masterpiece, molded
over the years - staring back at me. I'm
nearly unrecognizable, but in the most awesome way! His fingerprints are all over me.
No, I fell
in love with God the moment I felt His powerful presence in my life. In me! It was the moment I truly began a
relationship with Him. A heartfelt, emotional moment when I surrendered it all
to Him, for His glory.
It is a love
story of God and me. His mighty hands have held my heart through it all. In the
blessings and in the storms. In the lessons and in the rewards. In the joy and
in the sorrow.
There is no
greater love than His.
Don't you
know…
He loves YOU too!
