So we went to see...can you possibly guess?..."Dear John." Same as every other adolescent girl in America tonight. It was a sappy love story--and to make it incredibly more emotionally detrimental--Channing Tatum played a soldier that goes off to war, and leaves his beautiful fair maiden back in the States.
I am a lover of love. I love romance, and am already planning my wedding...don't worry, my wedding for someday :). Watching that movie made me long to be pursued and wanted by a guy. Hence the fact that I am SO not ready to be in a relationship of the sort.
Yet as I sit here and write I can't help but wonder if it is possible that the longing I feel is holy. That it is spiritual. That it is longing to be completely filled, and completely loved, and completely whole in the Lord. Because to be quite honest, no guy will ever complete me. No man will ever be make me content. No man will EVER chase after me with as jealous a passion as Jesus does.
As Valentines Day approaches, I pray that all of you begin to grasp the beautiful truth of how wide and long and deep the love of Christ is.
Be blessed this weekend.
