"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.
