How Do You Tell Someone That You Love Them?

You look at him with adoration. You listen to him. You talk to him. Yes, you communicate often. You read his love notes. You return love notes. You dwell on these love notes. You daydream about this person and your time with him. You wonder what the future will bring with him in your life. And, when the relationship becomes difficult, you remain committed because you love him and believe he loves you.

Change the “him” to her if you like.

Or, capitalize the “him” and what do you get? GOD

Read each sentence above again. It all fits, doesn’t it?

If you believe in the God of Creation and his power and might, you will adore him. When we pray, we talk to him. Listening is a part of prayer. Be still and know that I am God. Love notes? Had your Bible out lately? It’s all in there. The love He has for His people. How He brought the Israelites out of captivity into the Promised Land so that one day a Savior would be born from this line of people--His Son, who would pay the ultimate price so that all could have eternal life with the One who loves them. Oh, what a future that will be! And, while we’re waiting for this life-everlasting in a heavenly kingdom, there will be difficulties. It’s a life-on-earth thing. However, we remain faithful, trusting, committed, confident in the love He has for us. Yes, sometimes, it comes down to total commitment.

 

How do you tell someone that you love them? Start with God. It gets pretty easy after that-- to love even an earthling.
