hi raul
i am certain you will be married.
when your heart is quickened by that love for your future wife < i'm not a prophet but i have a hunch
, ask yourself how that happened.
the man & woman love illustration was just meant to say maybe when you meet your wife, you will wonder where that love in your heart came from. you will know you certainly didn't summon up such love from inside yourself - maybe she had an attraction that you found irresistible? i know you will tell her this. and she'll tell you the same.
this is not to say you lose your self-control and become a robot with no volition (although it might seem like it at times
). simply that everything that came before she was revealed now means little in comparison. and as human beings, between us we do not even have a
perfect love. where does love come from?
we have an object of our love. but it is something in them or coming from them which stirs something in us, don't you think?
what if the one we love actually loved us first, with a perfect love - what if we are amazed that they even noticed us, let alone lavished all their love on us - and that even though we love them with everything in us, it still seems something unable to be expressed in words? where does love like this come from? i do not know - it just appears.
John 3:8
The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."
Romans 5:5
This hope will not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
anyways....no need to reply...and this isn't personal.
just pondering.
