Remember this song?
Easily, the
title of this song is something we would all like to say to that special
someone who loves us… romantically. We all love to be loved. We all need other
kinds of love as well. But consider this: To whom in your life can and would you honestly say,
apart from romance, “I love how you love me”?
The notion of love has been so hijacked that we hardly/reluctantly think
‘it’s love’ apart from romance. What a
narrow perspective. Like you, I’ve been guilty of it as well.
If your answer
to this question is, “No one.”,
consider this: Whom can you practice loving, apart from romance, to the point
where that person might one day say to you, “I love how you love me”, or
something equivalent? Got the picture? Now find that person
and get to work. Consider starting with Jesus, then find another, and another…
~~~
No one but
Jesus loves us more, better and longer.
Living closer to
Him, our love grows stronger.
“I love how You love me!”
But here's a
novel idea, the truth about the matter:
He longs to
sing to you, and overcome the
clatter,
And in His singing,
all your fears completely shatter.
“(Your name), I love you. I love how
you believe,
How you cling to Me, and from My Word receive.
I love how you love Me!”
But if your
lifestyle is currently such
That you can’t hear
Him singing so much,
‘I love how you love Me!’
He's sent this
note to you to say, through me,
“Cheer up, there’s still time and opportunity.
I want to love how you love Me!
“If you embrace Me with all your heart, mind and
life force,
A mutually satisfying love we’ll have, of course!
Oh how I want to love how you love Me!”
