So here's my thoughts:
God is pursuing my heart.
Pursue: to eagerly follow, to chase.
God is chasing after my heart. He is relentlessly chasing after me in hopes that I will reciprocate his love. Just as another person would pursue me, God is pursuing me. He is calling me, telling me I'm beautiful, telling me that he likes me a lot (clearly an understatement), and that he wants to be with me always.
And with that relationship comes similar things that I would come with a relationship with another person.
So when I'm sitting in class not paying attention, I would be thinking on him.
I would call him and tell him everything I'm thinking.
I couldn't make it a day without hearing what is on his mind!
I would crave his presence and want to do what he asked of me simply because I love him.
I would serve him wholeheartedly.
I would get giddy just hearing his name.
I would be sharing his perfect love with those around me.
I would be so captivated by him that I couldn't help but tell everyone about how fabulous this love of my life is!
I can honestly say that I'm not there yet. At all.
But that's the great thing about him. He is always thinking on me. He is always anxiously waiting to hear my thoughts. He cannot go a day without talking to me. He craves having me near to him, and he blesses me simply because he loves me. He does all those things daily because he loves me!
And I find it really hard to believe that someone who loves me that much isn't getting all my attention! But alas, things cause me to take my eyes off of him.
School, media, etc.
Things that are not bad, just things.
They are all just things, small little things that cannot show me the kind of love he has for me.
Therefore, I am making it my goal to let him not only pursue my heart but to capture it! Once something has captured your heart, it consumes you, overwhelms you, and flows out of you. So if I let him capture me, I will be overflowing with his love.
And thinking about that makes me giddy!
Thoughtfully,
Abbey
