In love with the Master

Falling in love with Jesus.
I'm reading this book by Dee Brestin and Kathy Troccoli called "Falling in love with Jesus"
It's an amazing book. It talks about how God wants to love you more than anything itself, and if you put Him first, and focus on Him, He will become your bridegroom. Put Him before the bills, before the boys, and focus. You will fall more in love with him, than with anything else. Here's a little exerpt:

Once we have trusted Jesus with the wounds of our life, we have begun nour move toward mature love. This is not perfectlove, but a strong and steady love. Nor does this meant hat life will now be easy. Instead, we will continue to have trouble. Jesus promised no that life would be easy but that He would be with us. He said: In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! Ihave overcome the world. (John 16:33b)
How has He overcome the world if we still struggle with disease, failed relationships, and our own sin nature? I (Kathy) made the choice to give my life to Jesus in 1978. And I'll often say: Has life been rosy? Has it been smoothy sailing ahead?
But those aren't the right questions. The right questions are
Has God been sovereign? Has He been a Keeper of His Word? Has He been trustworthy? Has He been faithful? "Yes! Yes!" Always, a resounding "Yes."
We often ask:
Why are my circumstances so difficult?
We should ask:
Is God in my circumstances?
Is He capable of giving me peace, hope, and perspective?
Again, of course, "Yes." He is our Prince who comes through. Paul put it like this:
We are handicapped on all side, but we are never frustrated; we are puzzled, but never in despair. We are persecuted, but we never have to stand it alone; we may be knocked down but we are never knocked out! Every day we experience something of the death of Jesus, so that we may also know the power of the life of Jesus in these bodies of ours... We know sorrow, yet our joy is inextinguishable. (2Corinthians 4:8-11; 6:10a)
Paul reached the stage of invincible love. How did he get there? He was absolutely convinced that the One to whom he had committed himself was able to do what He had promised.

Hey, I just want to encourage you guys to fall deeper in love with the Creator. Take the plunge. It's a blast!
Love you all!
