What Do You Think?

I hear him say: 

Come sit at my feet and listen carefully. This is for you. I’m drawing you in. I’m inviting you to come climb into my heart and explore its  depths. I’m asking you to come make yourself at home. 

See this spot here in my heart? It’s perfectly molded just for you. No one else can fill this place in my heart but you. No one  else can take your place. Come make yourself at home in my love. 

I don’t just want lip service. You say you know me but it’s just the tip of the iceberg. I want you to KNOW me. Really experience a deep relationship with me on a personal level. I’m Emmanuel. I came to dwell with you. I want YOUR heart fully. I call it “unadulterated  love.”

I don’t just want to be a passing thought. I want you to come home to stay. I’m not a one-night stand. It’s a lifelong commitment you’ve made to me. I’m not to be one of many lovers. 

“And in that day, declares the Lord, you will call me ‘My Husband,’ and no longer will you call me ‘My Baal.’”

‭‭Hosea‬ ‭2:16‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Your relationship with me shouldn’t begin in heaven. It’s to grow deeper day by day as you let me love you. It’s not to be lukewarm but intimate and passionate. 

Your days of adultery are over. I’m calling you my pure and spotless bride. My faithful and true lover. There isn’t room for others in our marriage bed. I desire your whole heart. My name is Jealous, I am a jealous God. 

“And I will betroth you to me forever. I will betroth you to me in righteousness and in justice, in steadfast love and in mercy. I will betroth you to me in faithfulness. And you shall know the Lord.”

‭‭Hosea‬ ‭2:19-20‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“Fasten me upon your heart as a seal of fire forevermore. This living, consuming flame will seal you as my prisoner of love. My passion is stronger than the chains of death and the grave, all consuming as the very flashes of fire from the burning heart of God. Place this fierce, unrelenting fire over your entire being. Rivers of pain and persecution will never extinguish this flame. Endless floods will be unable to quench this raging fire that burns within you. Everything will be consumed. It will stop at nothing as you yield everything to this furious fire until it won’t even seem to you like a sacrifice anymore.”
