Being in Love with the One Who Created Love

You can always tell when someone is in love...their smile, their laugh, everything about them gives evidence that they are absolutely excited and in love. Well, I've been thinking about the concept of being in love with God, the One Who created love and Who is love. It's so incredible to think that He loves us SO much that we cannot even begin to comprehend what God's love really is and means because we are finite and He is infinite. And He wants us to love like He loves and love Him more than anything. That totally makes sense because He loves us more than anything and knows everything--EVERYTHING--about us and still chooses to love us and sent His Son to die for us. But yet sometimes, or rather, oftentimes, after salvation and the excitement of the loved for the Lover who died for us and rose again to give us eternal life, we forget what that love looks like and that excitement and that fully surrendered life to Him for His glory. Where's the excitement? Our excitement needs to look just like we are in love with Him. To say: "Hey! Look! This is my Savior!! MY GOD!! He created everything and He loves me!!! See? That's my God right there! Don't you want to know Him, too? He'll change your life and make it better than anything you could even begin to imagine! His love is better than life!!!" Just some thoughts for everyone, though this is very short, but the greatest commandment according to Jesus is this from Matthew 22:37-40: ". . .Thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang the law and prophets."
