“Beloved. If you look for all those treasures in flesh and blood, your hands will come up empty. That’s why I am here, blocking your way with thornbushes and walling you in. You lusted for so long after things that wouldn’t fulfill you. And if you truly want to know what breaks my heart, it’s that: my people seeking love from things and other people that can’t fill them up. That’s why I invited her to drink my living water, Beloved. Because the water she had been taught would quench her thirst is only temporary. I held what was eternal and wanted her to have this as well.
This is why you let me come in and injure you. This is why you let me speak into your life and change your direction. This is why you let me pour out my love on you. It hurts me when you doubt. Who do you think created romance? A beautiful emotion, yet one that steals the worship of hearts from my grasp. It can be
a
plastic pearl, my love.”

“If you knew the gift of God and who it was that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” -John 4:10
“I tell you this not to frustrate you, but instead to remind you that I carry time in the palm of my hand and it is never too late. I hate that this knowledge was robbed of you at such a young age. Sometimes the things you create are the ones that break your heart the most. The world is such to me. Although I love it dearly, its lies and deceitfulness cause me more sorrow than you could ever know. I love you Beloved and I want your joy to be complete. I want you to experience the depths of beauty and passion that no man could match in lyric and verse. You have no clue how much my heart swells for you! When you hear my voice Beloved, tilt your head and listen. I am coming for you and nothing,
nothing, can stop me.”
