"Unforgettable"

"For your love is sweeter than wine." (S.O.S. 1:2b) NLT

  From time to time we might get a little caught up in this world, whether it be because of work or for pleasure; but much like the case of the prodigal son, when we come to our senses, we remember where it is that we need to be. It's good to be loved; and when the One that loves you is the One that made you, what greater love could a broken thing ever have!
  That is exactly the point, just in case you might have missed it; we are more than a thing! God knows us inside and out; He knows our rising up, our laying down; He knows every single thought we think, which is pretty scary, if you stop and think about it. But that is exactly why His love is sweeter than wine; because those that use wine for intoxication, they do so in order to feel better, and usually, it is to feel better about themselves.
  But God loves us despite ourselves! He will not give up on us, no matter what, because His love endures above all measure and despite anything we might ever feel or think we feel; even when we might not even feel anything at all! I can only hope and pray that I never forget that, because it seems more and more, that some of us have.
  This is about something that is undeniable and that the world can never give us. Once you have tasted what God has to offer, you can not, should not, ever go back to being dead and lonely. If that is the case, then there is only one answer to explain your situation: You have left your First Love! Which is a little hard to understand what that might mean, unless you remember when He changed your life. It was that first love that matter more than life itself; the kind of love you just couldn't get enough of and wished it would never end...

"Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more of his wonderful grace? Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it? Or have you forgotten that when we were joined with Christ Jesus in baptism, we joined him in his death? For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives." (Romans 6:1-4) NLT
