Yup, I'm at my favorite topic again;) about my love life with my greatest LOVE of all. Ever so often when I sort of go into a rut and feel my spiritual energies drained its usually a signal that I'm not feeding myself enough on my spiritual food. And as for God His presence is always open for us to run into. Can you imagine that must be how God waits for us every moment to be with Him, consciously and deliberately making and creating space for Him in our hustle and bustle. He is never in a hurry but time move with Him not against or over Him for He is the Lord and Master of time, space and everything that exist!As I read Matthew 14-15 what struck me most was the fact that Jesus, the very essence and representation of the Invisible One, showed God in action. In His personal life and ministry He was compassion on legs. In His human limitedness, He could only 'touched' those that came after Him yet He had time for everyone. And even in the little drama between Him and the Canaanite woman showed that He had and made time for those not belonging to the so called "lost sheeps of Israel"...what extreme love and kindness! As I 'see' Jesus in the language of The Message I see this great yet compassionate God, the One who is so driven by His love for His creatures, mankind which He tirelessly pursue. I see God who is so full of compassionate love even when He's rejected over and over again. My heart is tender, the first words I whispered to my Beloved this morning was ... 'I love You dearly and deeply NOT because of all the blessings You have given me and will continue to give me generously BUT because You are so worthy to be loved and worshipped. I love You more than any love possible for another human being because You alone deserve that LOVE!' I think 'being in love' with God is the ultimate purpose of my very existence. This year will be the 25th anniversary of my spiritual journey, walking alongside the One who had tirelessly pursued me until the day He captured my heart and set it ablazed with His love, come May 15, the day I fell so deeply in love with the One who loves me so dearly and deeply. It has not been an easy journey yet our love has withstood the test of time. His love is perfect but it was and is my love that is being perfected and yet in the long process of this journey of love I have learned and is still learning how to love the way He love, not only towards Him (though the love I have for Him is exclusive) but also my fellow human beings:). After all that's what His love is all about...flowing out, reaching out, bringing healing and wellness with it.
