Rekindle

This is my story, this is my song....

I have a new love in my life, actually he's not new...he's been around for quite sometime. I put him aside, put him on the back burner thinking that life without him in it was somehow better, somehow less complicated. 

Fortunately for me, he loves me enough to take me back, to forgive me, to bless me, to protect me. He loves me for my greatest strengths and biggest weaknesses. He loves me enough to keep me accountable for my actions, my mistakes, my faults and allows me the chance to learn from them, to make me stronger.  He's made me a new person, transformed me, and lives in my heart. He's put trials in my life, only to support me, wipe away my tears and open my eyes. Through it he encourages me, he makes me a better person from it in the end. He humbles me, fulfills me, keeps his promises to me. He takes away my anxieties, my confusion, wants me to have the most abundant and joyful life.  He knows all my needs and meets them. He's spontaneous, he's generous, he's honest. He's always been faithful to me, even when I haven't been faithful to him. He keeps me away from temptation, from lust and protects my heart. He knows everything about me, and promises to love me forever.

Why would anyone give him up?

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

Philippians 4:13
