I Am Having An Affair With Jesus!

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

If you say you love Jesus do you love him in this way? Are you patient for him to answer your prayers, or demand an immediate answer? Do accept his desire for your life or do you demand your own way? Are you irritable or resentful when you don’t get your way? Do you rejoice in truth and avoid sin? Do you bear the trials and tribulations that are placed in your life with the understanding that he gives us these things in order to strengthen us? Do you find hope in Jesus love even in the bleakest of times?

When you are having an AFFAIR OF THE HEART with Jesus you have faith in him! You have hope for the future things he has in mind for you! And you find his love in all things and love him even when it is hardest!

If you are not having a love affair with him you need to!

Make your faith more like a love affair!

Love Jesus, just begin to love him! Tell him you love him repetitively, over and over and over, wear him out with this! When you have no other words, tell him you love him! When you see the sunshine tell him you love him. In the midst of the storm tell him you love him! When you see signs of him in little things around you tell him you love him! When you squirrels at play or frogs in harmony tell him you love him! When you gaze upon birds in flight or clouds over head, when you gaze upon the stars tell Jesus you love him! Acknowledge your love for him constantly!

The more you acknowledge your love for Jesus the easier it will be to find him in all things.

The greatest thing about having an AFFAIR OF THE HEART with Jesus is he is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow!!!!

You are meant to know him personally and have this Jesus, you are meant to share life with him and live his life. His personality should fill your life!

Your very purpose for existing comes down to three things:

1. Love Jesus with all that is in you!

2. Share yourself with him, much in the way that two lovers share themselves with each other!

3. Allow his life to fill yours!
