because when you're wildly in love with someone, it changes everything

When you're in a relationship with someone, you strive to know everything about them. You get to know their likes and their dislikes, what makes them happy and what upsets them. You make time to be with them, even if it's only for a few minutes. You get to know who they are on the deepest level possible. The thing is, you don't just get to know this person because you have to, but because you love them. Getting to know every little thing about them is something you enjoy, something you take pleasure in doing. Knowing who you're in a relationship with is so important. I know that sounds obvious and somewhat silly, but it's true. We should be continually discovering new things about the person we love and wanting to grow closer in our relationship with them.

We often make sacrifices for the one we love. We go out of our way to make this person happy because they're worth it. They're first thing you think about when you wake up and the last thing on your mind when you fall asleep. They're the person you want to talk to when you're having a rough day. They're the first person you want to tell when something exciting has happened. Talking to them is your favorite part of your day. When you're away from each other, you miss them and all you can think about is being with them. You are so crazy about this person and everyone knows it- you just can't stop talking about them. You slowly open your heart to this person and allow them into every area of your life, every part of your heart, even the places that are sensitive to you. Trust and communication becomes the foundation of your relationship. You fall in love with your best friend and you can't get enough of them.

This is what our relationship with Jesus should look like. This constant need to be with Him every second of every day, constantly craving intimacy with Him. We should be pursing Him daily; getting to know His heart and His desires- falling so in love with Him to the point where nothing else on this earth matters. An infatuation, a obsession. We radiate joy because we're so in love. People want want we have. He is the first thing on our mind when we wake up and the last thing on our mind when we fall asleep- this never ending thirst for more and more and more of Jesus- because when you're wildly in love with someone, it changes everything.

But you need to be all in or all out because no one wants to be in a relationship with someone who is only giving half their heart.
