Two love birds sitting on a fence One ask, "do you love me?" and the other says, "course I do". It not how many times someone says I love you. Should be: does their action represent love. People are quick to fall in love. Never considering the long term relationship or long term entanglements or the wonderful long term relation that can come from just quick fast falling in love or the quiet soft breeze gently wooing of the heart. Perhaps a long term courtship spurred with a gentle caress on the dates while holding hands, the waiting, the preposal, the ring and then the walk down the aisle a man and woman share the first kiss that binds the marriage agreement that leads to hopefully a lifetime of love and kisses through out the marriages.
God is love the first time a person taste his love is through the compassion of a believer or his word. One may not even be a believer but the first knowledge of God's love begins to penetrate the heart. God begins to woo us with his love through his Word and knowledge of who he is and his Son is.. God using this earth as a dating field. Meaning a place to know him and His Son before we decide to accept his one time marriage proposal with his Son, becoming part of his bride. A spiritual bride, the church who he will take home to be with him to live with him in glory.
