Romanced by The King

He whisks me away to moonlit walks, makes me giddy when He whispers His Presence, fills me with longing. He desperately seeks the truth of me. My tears, my lies, my hopes. Though enemies make sport of my naivety and my imperfections suffocate, He loves me beyond reason.  My weakness and vulnerability somehow allures Him.

I wake up and go to sleep longing for more of Him. Time is no object as He lovingly hears every word I am willing to share.

His Hand formed the earth and everything in it, yet deems my heart and my hand worthy of His grasp. He holds me closer than plausible. Somewhere in the midst of me trying to be good enough, His embrace assures me that I don’t have to try so hard.

We look through pictures together and smile at the memories of friends, the sufferings of service, the adoration of long held affection. We sing together. Dream together. Just sit and be with one another.

My God is Love. He made it, perfected it, and bestowed it upon a sinner named me. What sorrow can overtake me? What obstacle can overwhelm me? What lie can otherwise define me? When I am being romanced by the King.

I will never be worthy of His Love, but I long to dwell in it forever. Allow it to change me, to motivate me, to push the boundaries of me. 

He is the love of my life. There is no point pretending otherwise. Nothing else has ever made me feel this way, think this way, go this way, believe this way, love this way. He is the only thing that feels like home.

His love brings the promise of purpose, and the purest depths of pleasure. 

There is no place that His love wouldn’t send me, no place where it hasn’t gone before me, no place where it isn’t waiting for me, no place where it won’t go with me. Love is the journey and the destination. The reason and the treasure. 

His constant pursuit reminds me of the time we first met. His innovation finds new ways to reveal Himself and His Affection to me. There is nothing like my God. Nothing like the joy of salvation, a faith that can move mountains, miracles of mercy, unconditional forgiveness, mysterious uncertainties, everlasting hope, unabashed beauty.

There is nothing like being romanced by The King!
