Is the Honeymoon Over?
Over my forty plus years as a "Christian" this verse has been an extremely great source of comfort and encouragement. There have been times in my walk that I didn't think it were possible to love Jesus anymore than I did at the time and there have been times when I wondered if I ever really knew of loved him at all. Through the good times and the bad times I had this knowledge to comfort me. Jesus is faithful even when we are unfaithful. Jesus loves us and is a friend at all times. Of all the attributes of our God and Savior I believe that faithfulness is, for me, the greatest.
I have had five different fathers over the course of my life and went through four divorces as a child. Experts say that one divorce is possibly the most traumatic experience a child can go through. Think what four can do to foster dysfunction. Yet from the time I met and surrendered my life to Jesus Christ there has always been this confidence created within me because of this verse—Jesus remains faithful because He cannot deny Himself. Whether I am "on fire" or "cold as ice" I can rest secure in the truth of His word and not be tormented by the falsehood of my feelings! While the honeymoon may be over for now the marriage is strong and one day when mortality is clothed with immortality then the eternal honeymoon will begin. AMEN!
