Loving Without Seeing

"You love him even though you've never seen him."
1 Peter 1: 8

I wonder how I can love someone I have never seen?  Usually, people fall in love because the other is physically attractive, at least initially.  But the love I have for Christ is possible because he first loved me, even when I was dead in my sins.  He died for me and took all my punishment upon his innocent self; for by his stripes I am healed.  What greater love is there?
Oh, Jesus, I don't have to see you to know you, to adore you.  You are as close as my very thoughts and I declare you to be the lover of my soul. I implicitly trust you until we meet face to face.
