If you were to ask me if I loved God, I would honestly reply, "Yes."
If you were to ask me if I was in love with God, I would honestly reply, "No."
I know God sent His only son to die for His people, and I am truly grateful and in awe by it. I love Him for what He did, but I feel like it stops at deep appreciation. Many Christians I meet all talk about how they are so in love with God and how wonderful God's love is. I have felt that love, and I love Him back...but I feel like I'm not IN love. It's like a mutual relationship that you see in families; two siblings who are close, but not best-friend close. It's like they know the other is flesh and blood and they love them for being family, that's all.
I don't really have a question per-Se, but I feel kinda lost. I guess I was hoping someone would have some kind of advice, and not the usual "Read your Bible, pray everyday, etc." advice....something deeper than that.
