Someone once asked me what does the expression "love untold" mean. I couldn't explain it very well at the time. Considering it now, it has the uderlying meaning of loving someone dearly but without them fully understanding exactly how much you do. So it made me think, what if a person lived their entire life not knowing the Lord loves them?
Oftentimes a person is hesitant to tell someone how they feel in fear of rejection or feelings being unrequited. However in this case we know God loves man, 'we' being those who have touched the Lord's love. I guess I come to realize we shouldn't be so afraid to tell others that God loves them. Even if the feeling wasn't mutual, wouldn't you still want to know? Even if your're weren't expecting it or not interested, wouldn't it better to know in case one day there was a change in heart? As the banner song goes, the goal of the gospel is that loving the Lord Jesus with our best love...
Lately I've also been pressed with the words proper understanding. Sometimes people try to fully analyze and figure things out before taking action. They need "proper understanding" or reassurance. It is important to be rational and soberminded. However there is also our instinct and intuition which we shouldn't completely ignore. A lesson to learn is not only listen and trust the leading of the Spirit, but also to obey. I remember reading from a ministry excerpt, if we are unwilling to obey, why should the Lord bother speaking and enlightening us on particular matters? Guess our whole being needs to be before Him.
