Since the advent of the silver screen and television we have been inundated by a way of looking at love. It is portrayed as a must have terrific feeling, a total absorption in the other person, an expectation that this will be returned. It is in fact about worshipping another human being. In today's era it is also a sensation that we are told we can look for again with another partner if the feelings fade. Indeed these feelings are strong and compelling. But there is something fundamentally wrong here. In all this, worship is taking place and it is directed at the wrong person. In the Bible we read that God requires us to worship Him only. That is what we were made for. When we worship God and of course, Jesus is God, we worship someone who is perfect and will always love us and never let us done. Human beings always let us done at some level. If you have two human beings who love God, together they can lead a life where they are depending on God and not each other. Of course there is love and interdependence between husband and wife, but we need to depend on God ultimately and worship and serve Him. It can be a huge strain to have your husband or wife depending utterly on you. I am not setting myself up as an expert, after all I have been married twice and divorced twice. In the past I have searched for that elusive wonderful relationship that others search for. Now I know that loving Jesus is the answer. I love Him because He first loved me. He is perfect and knows exactly what I need and will never let me down. I wish that you may know Him too.
