I Have Fallen...Hard
Guest post submitted by Point_of_no_R3turn

I have met the most beautiful man. In all truthfulness, there is nothing particularly attractive about his physical traits. But everything about his character is lovely.
As my mind meanders back to the time we met, I am reminded that I had known him all my life. It wasn’t until later that I realized how wonderful he truly was. Before this revelation, he was just another person I was acquainted with, another one of those people who I heard a lot about and saw around, but didn’t really take much interest in. Now that I’m deeply in love with this man, I can’t fathom not noticing him. How could I have overlooked someone so perfect?
I spent a lot of years chasing after love that would never satisfy me. I didn’t really know what love was. I was broken and hurt by the “love” I saw in the world. Then he came along…
For a long time, after meeting this man, I was afraid to tell people about him. I was afraid of what they would think. Yeah, he’s the perfect man, but he’s not the norm. A lot of people didn’t understand why I loved him and I’m sure a lot of people still don’t. But now, none of that matters. I have complete confidence in him and his love for me. What the rest of the world thinks doesn’t matter.
What is so wonderful about this man? Well, let me tell you…
First of all, he’s great with kids. That’s something every woman looks for in a man, correct? He loves children and they are drawn to his sweet, kindheartedness. I can’t help but smile at the image of him holding the darling children in his arms, speaking kind words to them, and teasing them lovingly.
He is always gracious. I’ve messed up so many times and done so many things that I’m sure grieved him. I’ve spoken many harsh words to him and been ungrateful. Yet, he still loves me. When I’m angry, he speaks kind words to me. He never loses his patience. Even when I left for a time, he took me back without hesitation. His love is unconditional. He never hesitates to extend grace to me. How can I deserve someone like him? The truth is… I can’t. But, he is mine anyways.
I know without a shadow of a doubt, that he loves me enough to give up his life for me. He truly is unlike any man who ever walked this earth.
He’s the kind of guy that any mother would like for their daughter. His parents absolutely adore him and so do mine. In fact, he’s loved by many. He’s incredible, how could they not?
He always knows what to say. When I’m sad, he is my comfort. When I’m happy, he is happy along with me! When I have done something foolish, he gently corrects me. I hate correction, but I love him so much and he loves me so, I can’t help but take his words to heart. He is never at a loss for words.
Among other things, he is strong, compassionate, honorable, loving, faithful, and all around perfect. I wish I could put into words all the wonderful things that make up his character, but that would be impossible. It would take the rest of my life to write down all the things I love about him. My heart and mind are practically bursting, just thinking about him. I am utterly, undoubtedly, 100% in love.
P.S. His name… Jesus Christ.

This is my favorite Revelife post ever. I love it. Thank you so much for reminding me how lovable Jesus is. He's the best!
thats a cute post =]
its weird because i had the same experience w/ a real guy... i didnt notice him at first, and he was just okay looking, but he had an awesome personality. then i was afraid to let him know, and when i did he said he wasnt interested :(
You absolutely had me fooled all the way to the last line. This post was absolutely amazing and encouranging Thank-you.
@Pickwick12@xanga - Wow, thank you! And you're welcome! =) Jesus is pretty amazing!
@ICONIC_COUTURE@xanga - Thank you! And I'm sorry about what happened with that guy. Liking people is not always the most wonderful experience, is it? =\
@EmblemSuru@xanga - You're welcome! I'm glad it fooled you, lol, that was the point. =D
This post is breathtatking! Just like God's love. :)
@point_of_no_R3turn@xanga - You're welcome, and I really appreciate the reminder of how much Jesus loves me. It takes a lot of repeating to absorb it. I'm pretty dense and untrusting. But He's wonderful. I know what you mean about your heart and mind bursting when you think of Him.
Great post in reminding me how wonderful God's love is for us undeserving people! I was reminded of the book of Hosea actually when reading this post.
aw
You did an amazing job and I know without a shadow of a doubt that you are my sister in Christ.
@Biblerapture@xanga - Wow, thank you. That is a very nice compliment!
@nicolevw@xanga - Yeah, Hosea really shows how much God loves us, even though we can be complete idiots at times. Have you ever read Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers? That's a great book based on the story of Hosea.
@duckling8912@xanga - AMEN! =D
I thought that's where this story was going!
I agree!
I love Jesus.
@point_of_no_R3turn@xanga - yes I have read that book - it was so good I now own it!
!!!
I guess I've been sucked into the worldly way of looking at things - you using the word "love" automatically conjures up human romantic love.
*sigh*
Thanks for the reminder!
@AilinCorazon@xanga - LOL.. that's what i was thinking..
wow, what an amazing person. totally making this "fantasy mind" of many females thinking there are people out there to be worthy of marriage!
jesus -_- is my Homeboy man!
Great post...and great reminder of who Jesus is and how much He loves us.
It's easy to apply all kinds of wonderful traits to an imaginary friend.
ohmygosh! I really thought you were talking about a boyfriend.. haha. I loved the twist on this story. great post!
I will say nothing about religion; I'll just say that this post was beautifully written and that I'm very happy you shared it with us because I'm glad I had a chance to read it.
@bcom_Abby@xanga - Me too! <3
@icicle84@xanga - You're welcome. I think we all need to be reminded that Jesus is our first lover every once in a while. Human love is nice too though. =)
@IfonEarth@xanga - Thank you, your compliment is very much appreciated!
