I’ve always been a bit of a romantic. I loved romance stories from the time I was born I think. From Cinderella, my favorite as a child, to Pride and Prejudice, my absolute favorite now.
I love happy endings so Romeo and Juliet was never on my list of top 10 favorites. I have, however, learned to appreciate all the classics more as I’ve grown older.
I loved them all; the dashingly handsome prince, sweeping the princess off her feet and carrying her off to happily ever after.
The beautifully resplendent knight on a white horse galloping in to save the day – and the girl.
The rich titled man who falls in love with the maid or the store clerk and dares to break convention to marry beneath his station.
Long-lost lovers reunited after a separation brought on by misunderstanding.
High school sweethearts who marry young and love each other deeply and unconditionally for more than 60 years.
The man and woman who have been together for 80 years, hands clasped, pass on to eternity within minutes of each other.
Every human being that ever walks this earth is born with a desire to love and be loved. Babies who are loved thrive and grow and return that love before they can even talk. True love can soften the hardest heart and change the most resolute person.
God gave me family and friends to love and to love me in return. I met and married my handsome prince. He loves me, cares for me, laughs with me, talks to me, provides for me, and I am so thankful. I have been truly blessed.
God has blessed me in this mortal life – and has far surpassed any human expectations I may have in the immortal life to come. He has prepared me a home in heaven for when my life here is over. And he is coming back for me – ON A WHITE HORSE!
For every romantic heart out there – the King of Kings will come for you too – on a white horse – if you know Him and love Him.
Do you know the King of Kings? Has He been asked to live in your heart? Do you live your life for Him so when He arrives on that white horse He finds you waiting?
‘Then I saw heaven opened, and a white horse was standing there. Its rider was named Faithful and True, for He judges fairly and wages a righteous war. His eyes were like flames of fire, and on His head were many crowns. A name was written on him that no one understood except Himself. He wore a robe dipped in blood, and His title was the Word of God. The armies of heaven, dressed in the finest of pure white linen, followed Him on white horses. ‘ -Revelation 19:11-14
I pray you have a very Blessed Sunday.
Truly the best love story of all! He gave His life for me.
Even so come Lord Jesus!
🙂 Amen! Come quickly Lord!
What a wonderful post, Jill. There will be some people that just “don’t get it” but I do and I am proud of you for standing up for your beliefs. It is hard to witness sometimes and I admire how open you are about your faith. How wonderful to be loved here on Earth by a loving mate in such a way- xo Diana
Thanks Diana! M
Thanks Jill, you have the most beautiful Sunday posts. I’m a sucker for Pride and Prejudice (my favorite too) but nothing beats a Father who would give his only Son to die in our place. True love, indeed. Have a wonderful Sunday blogging friend. 🙂

So true Debbie! I love to watch that movie but nothing can ever top our Lord!
Lovely post and what a WONDERFUL day that will be…so happy he’ll be coming for me too!
Blessings,
Cindy
Yay! Glad your names written there too! 🙂
Beautiful post. I once wrote somewhere on my blog back when it was just for my sisters to read, a post about white horse riders who saved the day for us in times of trouble, but I love your take with its comparison to the White Horse Rider of Revelations.

Thanks Liz!
Great blog Jill. P&P is 9ne of my favorite movies too. I was raised Methodist and have always believed. Thank you for being such a great witness for Him to all of your readers!
Thanks Nic! I’m ready for a relaxing afternoon with Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy sometime soon!
Beautiful. When our world is saturated with romance and gives us false expectations, God swoops in with the greatest love story ever. Nancy Leigh DeMoss has been talking about this on her radio show lately.
🙂 Greatest love story of all indeed! Praise His Name!
How beautifully written. Oh for all people to know Him!
