Need a Little Romance in Your Life?
I don’t know about you, but I love romance. I want to know each day that I’m valued and that even after years together I’m desired as much as I was in the beginning of the relationship. Yes, I want the Hollywood movie romance everyday! I treasure the the kind of days where I wake up and hear, “Good morning, Beautiful!!” and the day continues with little love notes, a kiss, and a mid-day message that simply says, “Hey Darling, I just wanted you to know that I still love you!” And what’s better than a bouquet of flowers? Yep, I’d take this kind of day everyday.
And today did not disappoint! It began with diamonds glittering in the sunshine and was immediately followed by the presentation of multiple bouquets of flowers. Around lunchtime I had a handwritten notes that said, “I love you! I love you more than life itself!” And immediately after work I received a warm embrace and a kiss that melted my heart and erased all the burdens of the day. Ultimately my day ended with a simple, “Good night, Darling!”
Though my husband can definitely hold his own in the romance department, the romantic day I just described was the day I spent with God! The glistening diamonds appeared in the form of a beautiful morning frost on the car catching my attention the moment I walked out the door! Tiny bouquets of flowers were peeking through my flowerbeds just waiting to be noticed! A text reminder of John 3:16 was waiting for me after lunch. My grandkids hugs and kisses melted my heart as they ran to greet me after work, and my day ended with a sunset painted just to tell me goodnight! Each and everyone of these tender acts of romance and kindness were initiated by God simply because he loves me!
Girlfriends, I want you to know that you too can have this kind of romance everyday, but you have open your eyes and your heart to receive it! You have to look for the hand of God and be aware that He is tenderly reaching out to you and wooing you into his love! The Bible is full of God’s promises and words of love to you! Will you take time to read it? His creativity expressed in nature is an endless bouquet of color to feast your eyes upon! Will you take time to enjoy it? And the people you encounter everyday are his physical touch of love and grace! Are you watching for his touch?
Yes, Dear One, you are valued. You are loved. You are being pursued. Will you take time today to enjoy His romantic acts of lavish love?
