When God created man He created him a spiritual person, God breathed into him the breath of life and man became a living soul.

The man was to govern his life and conduct his affairs according to his spiritual life. But when he fell his spirit died and man and woman is born into this world to this very day spiritually dead, slain in trespasses and sin, this is why God seems remote to us even non-existent. He lives now not according to spiritual principles but according to his soulish nature where of course his emotions are seated.

Somebody recently was discussing with me the subject of "falling in love" I'm sure most of you know what that is all about, "what could be wrong with falling in love??" Look let's be honest, for every nice story of people falling in love there are 10, 000 horror stories of failed romances and broken hearts, if that were not so Hollywood and Bollywood and the music industry would be out of business since yesterday.

Falling in love in it's initial stages at least might be a very nice experience but just look at the heartache, the suicides and murders committed, the utter loneliness of someone whose spouse of many years has "fallen in love" with a younger person. Nice is not always good.

When we are born again our spirits are made alive again within us, we are re-created once more in God's image and we have the ability once more for our spirits to take control of our lives and govern our decisions. We are no longer at the mercy of the whims and infatuations of our soulish nature or the wayward desires of our fleshly bodies.

Our bodies will die and are dying because of sin but our souls wherein is our life is saved although these are still subject to the pull and temptations of the world.

Because we love God, we love His word, the same word which first brought us the message of this new life we have, God is no longer afar off and remote He is very near even in our hearts to live and to die with Him. It is this love, this joy of fellowship with Him which will keep us following His word.

I may not understand always why He says a thing is wrong, that is not my first consideration, He may show it He may not but I am always sure that He knows best. Nice is not always good. The original question about "falling in love" or infatuation, which is what it really is, was concerning homosexual love, what? my friend was asking, could possibly be wrong with two people falling in love? My purpose in sharing Christ is not to judge anyone, even if it were possible for me to legislate and command that everyone should live according to His way I would not wish to do so for it is a matter of personal choice, but I will bear witness to Him in the hope that others will come to Him and find what I have found, that His teachings [sometimes hard to follow] bring deep inner peace and joy.

May YOU come this very hour to Him and recieve the true love-life He has for you.
