I was listening to a song this morning by Phil Wickham titled I Will Always Love You. And as I listened to the beautifully laid down lyrics, I was struck by this idea of loving someone. And Phil's song is a return, a love returned because someone loved him first.
I have to admit that such a love is intimidating. Have I loved someone from the moment I met them? Have I known from that very moment that I would always love them?
I know without a doubt that when I first met my sister, I'm sure that love was found in my heart. An immediate "love at first sight" if you will. I knew that I would always love her, and try to love her to the best of my capability. I'm sure when I have a child of my own, that love will be definite and confidant.
I can't say I've met anyone yet of whom I've loved instantaneously. And then it got me thinking, how crazy is it that kind of love?!
To love someone with an immediate, unwavering, passionate type of love...I guess that's one of those burning mysteries God talks about...maybe I will never understand the full capability of such a love. I sure hope it's revealed to me one day...
What about you?! Is that love just baffling to you, or have you come across such a wonder?
Curious,
G
