Remembering Your First Love!

It was on a tropical island beach in the Marshall Islands when I found my first love.  I was walking down the white sandy beach when her beauty first caught my eye.  Her eyes were dark, like a deep rich cocoa color, a body with curves like I had never seen before, and her color was a rich golden brown.   The closer I got, the more entranced I became to her beauty.  Before I knew it, I was running in slow motion in her direction.  The ocean breeze was blowing threw my hair and the sound of love was in the air.  It was like a romance movie seen.  

Finally, I made it to where she lay so beautifully in the sand.  I stopped and starred into her dark cocoa eyes and she starred back into mine.  It was love at first site, I knew she was all that I wanted and needed.  I knew in my heart she wanted to be mine.  

I reached out and embraced her with my hands, not a single word was spoken as I lifted her up.  I think we twirled around several times, dancing to the beat of my heart.  The twirling stopped, silence remained, but our hearts were speaking to one another.  "I love you, I need you, I want you, will you be mine."

I was certain this love was real. I could feel it from deep into my heart.  As my eyes starred into hers,  I heard a gentle whisper in my ear "Kiss, kiss, kiss."  I puckered up my lips and went in for that first kiss.  With my eyes closed as if I were receiving my first true love kiss, my lips met her....."OOOOOOUCH!!!!!! 

I ran to my mom crying with her still attached to my tongue, she would not let go.  with a very thick tongue I mumbled and these muffled tones,  "Mom!!!, mom!!!, she bit me, she bit me and wont let go."  You see I met my first love when I was about 4, she was a hermit crab.  Kissing was not her thing.

Seriously though, do you remember your first love?  I do, I remember seeing my wife for the very first time.  I remember where she was standing, what she was wearing and who I was with.  I remember it with such clarity that it seems like yesterday.  

There is even a greater love that I will never forget.  Christ Jesus.  Do you have this love? if so, are you like so many others who have forgotten?  It is by our thoughts, actions, and deeds that reveal if you have forgotten His love.  How are you living your life to prove you have His love? What choices are you making that show His love?  what are you doing that proves your love?  or have you forgotten and your life no longer resembles God's sacrificial love?

Me and my First Love!

Romans 10:32 

Remember those earlier days after you had received the light, when you endured in a great conflict full of suffering.

Revelations 2:4 

Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first. 

May my life be the proof and evidence of His love!
