The Pursuit

God does not let me go to far. He keeps coming after me. I turn and look at my life and realize it was all about his pursuit for my heart. I'm only 25 and I realize every part of my life has been about Him getting my attention. He was constantly saying my name, calling me home, calling me to his heart. His love remains even when I strayed.
How did I end up in the greatest love I have ever known?
How did I end up here when I said Yes to him?
I had no clue what I was getting myself into.
I may sound cheesy, but it truly does not make sense. I still can not do anything to save myself and he gives me the honor to say yes or no. I get to choose, but after his ruthless pursuit of my heart why would I not say yes? What would be the reason to withhold my love from the Father? From his son, Jesus? From the Holy Spirit, the very spirit of God living in me?
Call me a romantic, call me a heretic, call me whatever you want...but I know that Jesus is alive, that He is real, that He is fully God and fully man, that He loves me and YES, I love him.
So everything in life is part of the processional to the wedding day, the day He returns for me.
