I read so many posts and they are full of wonderful information, great little nuggets of wisdom. But I feel that many are lacking the passionate perspective of a Lover with His beloved. When lovers come together in an intimate, passionate embrace, they are not worried about whether there is a spot on their dress, or whether their face is cleanly shaven. They are not worried whether their lover will see the dimples in their behind, or the roundness of their gut. No, they are caught up in the embrace of love, feeling accepted, safe, desirable, desired, powerful, open, trusting, confident, and fearless.
Why are we, the bride, of Christ, so insecure? Why are we so obsessive about our spiritual flaws? Why are we so afraid of our Lover’s rejection? Does not it say in the Song of Solomon, “You are all fair my love, there is no flaw in you.” This is how our Beloved sees us. He says, “You have ravished my heart.” or (paraphrased) “Turn your eyes away from me for your glance makes me tremble.”
Our glance makes our Lord tremble. Do you think of Our Lord loving you so much that He trembles? Do you see how His Heart is struck with darts of love by merely looking in your eyes?
How many of us, when Jesus wants to admire our beauty, hide our faces in shame? How many of us pierce His heart by our lack of trust and by hiding our wounds?
This is the kind of love that inspires! This kind of love cannot be learned in a book, this kind of love can only be experienced. The soul who experiences this kind of love from our Lord will rise to the highest states of holiness in an instant. Never mind rules, never mind “cautions,” throw caution to the wind and surrender to Him.
Does your Beloved, when He has a burdened heart, share His sorrows with you? Do you compassionate His broken heart so much that you feel it with Him?
This is what we are called to, not reiterating the statements of the relationship Jesus has with another soul, but the statements of OUR love and relationship with the Lord. What passionate statement of your own will you share to throw water on the fire in my heart that burns to make Jesus loved?
