Deep in love with you..

Last week in church we sang the song "Deep in love with you" by Michale W. Smith.
I love that song. It has been stuck in my head all week. It has been playing in my mind over and over and over.
I'm deep in love with you, Abba Father
I'm deep in love with you, Lord
I'm deep in love with you precious Jesus
I'm deep in love with you Lord.

The more that I have reflected on that the more it bothers me, though.

I started thinking. I am deeply in love with my precious wife. More and more everyday. I am deeply in love with her. I want to spend all my time with her. We talk all the time about someday being able to work together so that we don't have to be separated. I want to do the things that she wants to do, I want to give her gifts, I want to love what she loves, and I love the people that she loves. I want nothing more than for her to be happy and satisfied.

I don't feel that way about God. At least it does not play out that way in my actions, thoughts and words. I say that I do and I sing all the songs and tell God that I love him in my prayers. If I am really honest I have had a pretty half hearted love for God. I don't like that.

God, help me to stop comparing myself to everyone around me and use Jesus as the measure of my life and my love for you. Help me to fall deep in love with you and may my life reflect it.
