I was barely a teenager when I met him many years ago, but I could tell from the first that he loved me. He was so gentle and kind, and there wasn’t a trace of weakness in his character. He invited me to come with him, and I couldn’t resist. I put my trust in him as we started down life’s together.
Daffodils were in full bloom, and freckled multi-colored irises stretched toward the sun. Lush green grass was a carpet for the hare, and birds delighted in the springtime splendor of the redbud and crape myrtle.
I fell in love with him that day. My heart, my soul, my all I gave him, and I have never regretted that surrender. He’s done more for me than I ever thought anyone would. His love has inspired me to accomplish more than I ever thought I could.
How do I love Him?
I could never count the ways.
He is the length and breadth
And depth and height of my life.
He is everything to me
And ever shall be.
He is mine…and I am His…
Forever…and ever…and evermore.
His name is JESUS.
