Romans and Relationships

It had been an awesome night. September 20th, Friday night. We were together again. He spoke to me. He reminded me of how much he loves me. I believe there's nobody else capable of the love he has been giving me. How lucky I am to be chosen by him!

If only I could express in writing the overflowing joy I had at that moment. Before that special night ended I offered to sing for him. I sang whole heartedly... then tears fell down my cheeks... The kind of tears asking for forgiveness; for all those times I unintentionally neglect him, for not spending quality time with him, for committing things that hurts him deep.

How could I do that to him? He doesn’t deserve to get just a fraction of my time. With him I feel contented, loved, respected, happy and taken care of. He trusts every decision I make. He never leaves my side. He forgives me …all the time. And yet, I take him for granted. I realize I am not appreciative enough for his perfect love.

I wept while trying to mutter the words of the song. I felt miserable as I become aware of how insensitive and unappreciative about his feelings. I mistreated him and his perfect love. The moment I felt composed, I asked him for forgiveness. I offered my love to him yet again. Seeing that I meant every word, I was almost instantly forgiven.

I will guard my ways from now on. I shall make sure that this will be a start of a healthier relationship.

If you want to reflect on Jesus’ perfect love too, it would be best to read on these verses:
Romans 1-12 God's perfect love

Romans 8:38-39 God's love
Romans 6:23 God's grace
Romans 8:1-2 God's forgiveness
Romans 8:31-32 God's provision
Romans 8:28 God's good purpose
