If I were to ask you to make a list of things you do, say, and act like when you are in love, it might look something like this:
• You’re happy
• You talk about him all the time
• He’s always on your mind
• You talk to him all the time
• You find out what makes him happy
• You spend time with him
• You show him off to your friends
• You quote him
• You make him a priority in your life
• You make plans for your future together
• People think you’re crazy
• You would do anything for him
• You start to act/think like him (Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery)
Does the same list apply if we are in love with Jesus?

Jesus knew His life was but a vapor—a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes (James 4:14). Yet He made the most of every opportunity (Eph. 5:16) and remembered His purpose while on earth. His time was not his own. He was merely a steward of what God had given Him.
What is a steward? The steward is not the owner, but he represents the owner—in caring for the owner’s possessions, speaking for him, serving him, etc.
Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen. (1 Pet. 4:10-11)
