Love is unruly

Songs of Solomon 8:6-7 Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned 

Love is a very unruly emotion. It is often said that you can't help who you fall in love with. I believe that is why God desires to have our hearts before we might fall in love( Proverbs 23:26). God can help us add reason to our love. He can keep us from making decisions based solely on our loving feelings. Loving God first means you will do anything to please him. His opinions will matter to you the most. You will seek his advice when you need to make a dicision just so you won't have to feel like you have disapointed him later. God in his infinite knowledge knows what is best for you and his love for you is unwavering. He loves you so much he sent his son to die to prove it. Jesus loves you so much he laid his life down for you. His love is unconditional and can't be measured. So we should trust that he has our best interests at heart. When searching for a person to love and be loved by always consider Gods thoughts on the subject. He can save you a lot of heart ache latter. So many people had wished they had some inside information that would have told them what their relationship would have been like, a sort of time machine that would show them the future result of their dicision. God may not show you all the details but he definately will let you know to either go forward in a relationship or to put the brakes on, make a U turn and drive away as fast as you can. Don't question just follow his loving direction because no one knows better then he. Better to heed him now them cry out to him latter. Amen!
