Less-Wild Lovers
Do you remember your first boyfriend? I would imagine you were crazy in love....and then a few weeks later not so much. It doesn't matter, though. The first love always has that "thing" about it. The same is true of God. When we first knew God...we were crazy in love. It was very new and exciting. At some point, we became satisfied with complacency. ...with Less-Wild Lovers.
Do you anesthetize your heart? Or are you indulgent? How do you deal with the Less-Wild Lover?
"At some point on our Christian journey, we all stand at the edge of those geographies where our heart has been satisfied with Less-Wild Lovers, whether they be those of competence and order or those of indulgence. If we listen to our heart again, perhaps for the first time in a while, it tells us how weary it is of the familiar and the indulgent."
Are you listening?
