My Love

I hear the Lord say:  (10.21.22) 

Know any time you are saying “I love you,” I am saying it right back. I long to feel your affection turned towards me. My affection is always turned towards you. I’m deeply in love with you, not just infatuated. It’s a real, mature love that sees all that’s wrong but doesn’t get tripped up by flaws. My love for you is stronger than your imperfections. My love is so consumed by what you do right, not by what you think you do wrong. My love throws your “wrongs” into the sea of forgetfulness. My love is steadfast and unwavering. My love is stronger than the chords of death and the grave. My love transforms your heart from broken and hurting to whole and well. My love fills you with hope and life and love and peace and joy and confidence to see you through to the other side. 

My love makes you want to change and better yourself. The love in my gaze helps you see yourself rightly for the first time. My love washes away all the lies and labels that you used to live under. My love purifies and positions you to rule with me in Christ-like humility and authority. 

My love is chasing you down. You just need to stop long enough and let it envelope you like a hug from a dear friend. My love is like the sun rising every morning. It’s always there filling your days with beauty and warmth, but sometimes goes unnoticed. 

Turn your gaze towards me and let it linger there. Let my love shape you. I’m the potter, You’re the clay. It’s time you surrendered to the craftsman’s hands. There is so much I’ve placed inside you that you haven’t discovered yet. It will only be in seeking me that you will truly begin to recognize yourself rightly and see my purposes for your life that were planned before you were even born. 

I restore vision to my bride in this place of intimacy. If you want to see things through your spiritual eyes like Elisha you need to come close and dwell in my heart. Through receiving from me and me alone will you receive revelation into hidden things you do not know. I want you to know these things but it’s up to you to seek me. I want relationship with you. Without relationship- your works are dead. Come. Draw near and allow me to fill you once again. Your well is dry. Come drink from my rivers of living-water. When you abide in me, I won’t ever leave you thirsty. I will fill you to overflowing. Stay in the stream of my Spirit and let yourself be filled to overflowing and let me flow out of you onto everyone around you. 

What you pray in the secret place will come out in the open. I will reward you openly. It all begins in ME. I’m the source of life. Don’t feed people old, musty, stale bread. Come to me for fresh manna daily. 

I want you FIRST! Just as a baker wakes earlier to make fresh bread, You must follow my son’s example and wake early ministering to me first. In doing so you will have fresh bread ready for those in need. It’s not your first priority to minister to others, but to ME. I must have preeminence. Without me as the head, things begin to get clogged up. 

The ministry you do after spending time with me is overflow. First get drunk in my Spirit, then love those around you in my love.  Tarry with me till you see them all through my eyes of love. This is how you will enter the “ease of my Spirit.” There really is an “easy button” in life. It’s only found living in my Spirit. It’s letting my Spirit reign over your soul and mind. Where my Spirit is Lord, there is freedom. I long to walk with you in the cool of the day. In the “Spirit” of the day.”
