Fall In Love With Christ

This past Saturday evening, my family and I was at the church we was to be ministering at the following morning, when walking by a door I noticed a small homemade sign written by a young child. It was very humble to look at, but spoke words of great spiritual truth. There was no elaborate words to catch the mind of the carnal mans interest, but just five small words that will shack the life of a spiritual man. “What was these words,” you ask? They was simply this, “Fall in love with Jesus.”


What powerful words of life! As I seen this humble sign, which read these humble, but powerful words, my mind traveled back in time, to a day early last year. I had met a young lady many years before, but she was telling me her goodbyes for the year, for she was leaving the state in which we was ministering in, and heading to a all girls school. I had known she was going for misbehavior of some kind, and was going to be gone far from home, for over a year. I remember how I wanted to leave her one last thought, as she stood before me and my family saying goodbye. I asked God to please give me something to speak to her. Something that, if she would remember, and apply to her life, would change her forever. I seen that she wanted to do right, but she loved the world of flesh and sin all to much. She had not truly been born again, and the total forsaking the world was not in her plans. She just thought she had to get away from some of the high pressure of a public school, but I knew she must be born again. I asked her if she was saved, and it was a automatic yes, so I dealt with her on those terms and conditions. And the words that God spoke through me was these very words, “If you are saved, you need to get your eyes off of everything in this world around you, and look at nothing but Christ. The only key for your life is this, to fall absolutely in love with Christ. Let Him be your everything.” I remember as she looked at me almost seemingly confused, but I knew that I had made her think. Christ wasn’t her everything, and she wasn’t living life in love with Christ, but rather for herself. She took my phone number, and text me when she got to her destination, and the last words I spoke to her was a prayer, and these same words repeated. She did not heed the words I gave her, and when I seen her last she was almost in the shape she was before she left for the easier school. But it don’t have to be that way, she just chose it that way by loving other things over Christ.

Beloved, we must fall totally in love with Christ. He must literally be our absolute everything. Dear soul, is Christ your second thought? Or is He your Every Thought? Beloved, He must be your Everything. You must learn to fall totally in love with Him, so that all else of this life has no hold on you any longer.
