Beloved

Beloved, it is not wrong to want to be constantly desired. For all of your life I have been relentlessly pursuing you day by day and I have sat with you as you pushed me further and further away. Can you not see that, My love? I long for that gaze. I long for those moments where you close your eyes to the distractions and just see Me. I long for those moments where you dance with no-one but Me. I long for your attention. Every second I am calling you closer. That aching in your heart to be loved completely and for someone to delight in you constantly is there for a reason - it’s there because I placed it there. I created you with that desire, knowing that I was the only One who could ever satisfy it. I cannot get enough of You. I never tire of our time together. I want you and have wanted you so much that I left My glory, My throne - My everything - to walk upon this earth and make it possible for you and I to dance. That intimacy, My child, cost Me everything.

I know you want to hear My voice. I know you want to hear Me clearer than you hear him and I know it’s hard when your mind’s all cluttered like this. I know you want to feel My arms around you like you feel his arms around you and I know it’s hard when your mind’s all cluttered like this. I know you want Me to be more…tangible. But there is something in your soul that feels that I am home. I know that You feel this. There is something in your heart that feels at peace when you stop fighting My love for you. There is a part of you that recognises Me far better than you will ever recognise him - because, beloved, I made you that way. I am your Shepherd, My love, and I hear your voice and I know you hear Mine.

You are not pathetic or overly needy, My beloved. Not when you turn to Me with that need and run into My arms. You could never exhaust Me. I never want space from you. I want you completely. You are not too much for me. You are never too intense for me. I desire every single piece of Your heart. Dance with Me, beloved. Just be still, and know that I am the Lord. Be still, My bride, and know that I am the Lord.

“It’s like, it doesn’t honor God to pretend like everything is OK. That’s the beauty of Jesus that so many people miss. The beauty is that he died on the cross for our sins, but also that he existed the way we exist. He understands what it’s like to lose a friend. He’s not unfamiliar with those emotions. He’s not unfamiliar with the difficulty of human life. To me that’s what makes Jesus as God beautiful. He totally understands. He went out of his way to prove to us that he understands our situation. So when he has something to say, it’s not coming from this high and lofty standpoint. It’s coming from this person who understands intricately the perils of human existence.” —John Mark McMillan (via savemefromyself)
