He spoke.
Not through His word.
Not through the lyrics of a song.
But in the simple quietness of my car….
He just spoke.
Now I have heard HIs voice before.
But this was different.
Instead of convicting me as a Father,
He was captivating me as a Lover.
He reminded me of Hosea.
Me being the adulterous wife.
Cheating on my husband just to find temporary satisfaction.
And yet, He didn’t give up on me.
Even while I was cheating, He came after me!
In his silence, He pursued me.
And in the quietness of my car, He caught my heart.
He found me in a quiet place.
And like the Isrealites, He spoke tenderly to me.
I could not fathom what was going on inside of me.
I just knew….
He wanted me.
All of me.
Not just my songs of praise.
Not just my daily prayers.
Not just my answer to His call.
No. He wanted my heart.
All of it.
So, He spoke.
“I love you! Do you get that?”
“YOU love me? Seriously?! You love ME? Holy crap. You love me.“
“Yes my beloved! And I want you! ALL of you. Let ME satisfy your every desire.”
His words grew louder and louder.
“I love you!”
Over and over and over again.
My heart was being overtaken by His love!
Never had I felt this way!
I didn’t know what else to do!
So I began to cry….
Tears streaming down my face, I was captivated by His heart!
I had finally found what I had been searching for all along.
I had found complete satisfaction.
I had found my love.
And I will forever be His beloved.
