How Can a Man Fall in Love With Someone He Had Never Seen?

Dear reader,

It boggles my mind to find this unexplainable feeling in my heart. I cannot sit and try to comprehend the possibilities for a man to actually fall in love with Someone that he had never seen face to face?

I am a visual person, who loves to see things in different views to completely understand it and perhaps fall in love with it. Through this boggled mind, I felt as if the word “love” is a rhetorical word in its own nutshell. Those four-letter word somehow can touch a human's heart in a way that is unimaginable, which often becomes a source of joy to a recipient or the one who is giving it away.

Is it possible for a son to love his father? Is it logical for a daughter to love her doll? Can it be understood for a man to love a woman? These are just some of the feelings that dwell within that four-letter flowery word of love. Poems stood around it, business empires staggered because of it, nation is born from it, and due to love hatred crumbles. But how is it possible to love someone that you’ve never seen before?

Long ago, perhaps about a couple of years in the past, I’ve gotten to know a special someone who is undeniably the most humbling and God loving individual. At first, she was just another “friend” that I’ve met in the matrix of World Wide Web. Yes, I said it, “matrix,” an environment that is illogically formed and impossible for me to comprehend. Yet, after knowing this individual, with the heart that she holds, and the humbling goal that she is trying to attain, and even though I have not seen her face to face, there ignited in me this complex feeling that I tried many times to defuse. Is it love?

After getting to know Jesus, I’ve gotten to see the immense love of this Individual that I still am longing to delve upon and whom I am trying to wrap my mind in.

I read His biography, tried to picture myself in His position, tried to understand why a Deity would come and die for His creatures that is worth less than an angel, and to see the true love that He possesses revealed through His action and His death on the cross. It’s mind boggling!

I then ask myself, how can God love someone that He had never seen?

How is it possible that the plan of salvation that was created thousands of years ago have been planned for you and I today? How is it possible that a sinful being, born about two millenniums after His death, would be loved by a Son of God? Had He seen me in His complex mind as He hung on that cross? Did He visualize my deterred state as His body was thorn, whipped, and beaten? Is it possible that as I sin today, He had already seen it as He stumbled while carrying the burdensome cross on His beaten and blood littered body toward the hill of Golgotha? Is it true that because of His love toward you and I, placed Him, an unblemished sacrifice, to die on that cross for our sins? Could it be love?

I read and read His story, and at first I do not see it. I mean a Devine being, who sent His begotten Son to be 100% human to die for someone such as I. How could it be possible? Can a man fall in love with God whom he had never seen face to face? How can a man fall in love with Someone he had never seen?

It suddenly hit me that men sees with their eyes, while God sees with His heart. It suddenly struck me that love does not come from the eyes, but it comes straight from the heart.

Could it be that I’ve seen what I have not really seen?

Love is a wonderful mystery to me. It’s not just a four-letter, awe-struck, "girlish" kind of word, but it’s a word that means so much more than just that. It’s an unexplained feeling that exists for a reason.

It is love that placed our orbit in its celestial space. It is love that has kept me alive. It is love that mends my broken heart. It is love that broke me down to tears to know that the Someone I’ve never seen, have died for my sins.

How can a man fall in love with Someone he had never seen?

Easy, keep your eyes shut and let your heart do the seeing.

Now, you may ask, how about that “she” you were referring to earlier in the so called matrix of the World Wide Web. All I can tell you is this, God knows my future. I don’t. All I have to do is to work for Him with all of my heart and lean not upon my own understanding, and He’ll provide the rest.

You may not understand what I've wrote, but I hope you can understand one thing; it does not take two eyes to see true love.

May God bless you all.

Much Love,

Assdhy.
