The Lord your God is a jealous God. As my team began our first day of fasting in preparation for this World Race adventure, my Jesus reminded me that He is a jealous God. He is jealous for my time, my affection, my heart. I returned to Atlanta and resolved to spend more time with the Lord, more time basking in His love and glory, more time diving into His Word. I began to spend more time with Him, but I was still giving Him such a small portion of my time, such a tiny section on my heart. I worship a God who is a consuming fire and He is NOT satisfied with this small portion of my heart and time.
Sunday night I went to a prayer meeting with my Iran team and as we were praying the Lord gave three separate people different visions of me and the way the Lord is calling me unto Himself, calling me away from all distractions (even the community that I love), calling me to deeper intimacy with Him.
My Lover spoke and said to me, “Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, and come with Me.” (Song of Songs 2:10).
I am getting up and following the Lover of my soul. I am following the God who pursues my heart. I know this will mean leaving behind many things that I love for the One that I love more (not just by physically leaving for the Race, but even now). But I have waded in the waters of His love long enough. I want to dive deeply into the heart of God. I want an undivided heart given fully and only to Him.
