I LOVE HIM

We were made to love Him. Our souls should crave Him. He must be the very essence of our longing. He is truly “to die” for, after all, He died for us. To love Him, is to know Him. To know Him, is to love Him. What further depth can we go than to His love? He is deeper than our thoughts, feelings and emotions. He truly creates the chase. He ebbs us out with His tantalizing words that draw us, that create deeper intrigue and interest. Oh to know Him, just to be with Him, to hear from Him, to be desired of Him; to think that God would desire me. When others reject me, He calls me. When I fail, He calls me. When I do well, He calls me. When He needs, me He calls me. We are WE! Together, we are. He loves me and I love Him. Together we love each other. Ooh to love Him, to be surrounded by Him, His very essence causes my heart to flutter, and my thoughts to dance. I am at peace when with Him. He alone satisfies. I am satisfied with Him alone. If no other relationship works, mine with Him, does. He creates certainty of it working. He has promised never to leave me nor forsake me. He has promised to be with me through the good and the bad. He won’t divorce me. If anything changes, it will be because I forsook Him, not that He forsook me. Awake, awake my soul, and love your God. He is at your door knocking. Surrender unto the passion and kindness and depth of grace that He offers to you. Why fight what you don’t understand, and you can’t get anywhere else. Come to Him! Lay at His feet, like a damsel crowned as Queen. We are His bride, adorned for Him. He is pleased to unite with us. In worship we share, we talk, we laugh and we learn, we listen, we grow stronger. I love to talk to Him, and He loves to talk with me. Sometimes we open our mouths, sometimes we don’t, but always we understand. What mountain top, what a field with blades arrayed in rainbows, He alone offers this. Love on the mountain and love in the field. He increases my courage. I love Him. I adore Him, I honor Him. He is mine, and I am His. Together we create a solemn and sacred vow of trust that challenges me to be faithful, when I feel like it not. He is my mentor, and my peer. He is whom I aspire toward, and my teacher. He creates in me a desire to become, ever more like Him. At all costs, I strive, and continue on. When I am deep out of breath, I crawl on to victory, for it is already won. He simply came back to run with me; to be with me when I cross the finish line. He has already overcome, so that I may overcome, but He came back to run with me reminding me if His holy name, Immanuel “God with us”. What a treat to be held by the Master. To know He loves and He cares. He loves, and I love, we love! Today, I love Him, more than any other material, physical or spiritual essence, I love Him. No doubt in my mind I love Him, and He loves me. You know how I know? I told Him this morning, and He told me as well. And when I’m acting out in fear or flesh, He still tells me, He loves me. Create in me a clean heart oh God, and renew a right spirit within me. Awake, awake my soul, and love your God.

Loving you always, my Father,
