It was our last prayer meeting with our Serbian family and God spoke directly to my heart. Britni felt that we needed to worship and she played the song Divine Romance…
This song holds a special meaning to my life. When Korey and I broke up after five years I was driving through a snowstorm and feeling angry with God when the song began to play. I realized that God desperately wanted to romance me and that in His presence I would be completely satisfied. I clung to this song and played it whenever I felt lonely or discontent.
On the first night of the World Race the song again comforted my heart. I was sleeping on the floor of the AIM office building feeling overwhelmed and crazy for leaving everyone I loved behind for 11-months when the song began to play. I could hear God whispering in my ear, telling me that he would romance me and I would be fully satisfied.
When Britni played Divine Romance that night and we began dancing in that small Serbian apartment, I smiled to myself, how wonderful it was to be romanced by God. Here five women who have become my sisters and a group of wonderful Serbians who have taken me in as family surrounded me and we were rejoicing and dancing in the presence of God.
Even though I have been away from home and living out of my backpack for eight months now, I have been completely content simply in His presence, walking with him and rejoicing in His divine romance.
My prayer for everyone reading this is that they will experience this type of romance on a daily basis, how sad it would be to go a lifetime never experiencing God’s wonderful love for us.
