My lover

Lately I have been thinking more and more about the fact that Christ is the true lover of my soul. How amazing is it to wake up every morning thinking about how He soothes my soul, sings to me songs of romance, quickens my hearts with His tenderness, holds me and kisses the pain away when I cannot bear it, and gives me such rich presents that I cannot even think of repaying. Think of the prettiest sunset, the sweetest words of a friend, the most generous act of a person, the smell of rain after a thunderstorm, the loveliest flower, the best meal, the most passionate song, etc. Insert whatever you want, but the meaning is still there. Those, my friend, are the gifts that your Lover gives to you. Your Father, your Savior, your Lover, your very Bestfriend, your Judge, your Provider, your Maker, your Hope, your Healer, your King, your Servant, your Wisdom, your Peace, your Redemption, and your All in All. Whenever I read through the book Song of Songs, I can just imagine God sitting down, pen in hand, to write His beloved (me!) this love letter. I can imagine Him sitting outside my window singing it to me late at night. I can imagine Him thinking up the most romantic and sweetest ideas like a little butterfly landing on my shoulder as I'm watering my garden first thing in the morning. And maybe this all just sounds absolutely insane...the ravings of a lunatic...but I mean all of this. Lately I have fallen head over heals with my Lord and I'll tell you, it is ...haha I totally blanked out because...you know those times when you want to describe something but there are no words in English or any other language to truly convey the feelings that apply to the thing you're describing? ...that's what I feel. It is amazing...awesome...breathtaking...captivating...those come *no* where close to explaining the feelings I have for this new found Lover of my soul. I am listening to a song right now, and I am actually crying...I never thought I'd do this let alone tell anyone, but here I am posting this. I am led to tell you this because crying has been know to happen when one is moved so emotionally that they cannot help but express it in any other way. And I know...I don't know how...but God sent that song to me, today, right now...so I could possibly convey to you just a portion of this great and majestic feeling. Any of you who really know me would know that although I can be dramatic I am rarely super emotional...especially to tears...but God showed me that my role as a young woman is to be emotional...He is there and He will comfort me when it is unnecessary to be emotional, but this...this is a good emotional. I thank God for each of you reading this. May He bless and instruct every move of yours from this moment on. I pray for each of you.
