His provision alone would never be enough, it’s His
love..it’s the way He romances us with a kind word spoken through a stranger,
in the soft rain that falls, and the warm breeze that tousles your hair. It’s
in the way that He longs to know your heart, the way He could sit for hours
with you and never grow tired of hearing you. It’s in the way he pursues you
always, never relenting, never growing tired of speaking those words over you.
His heart is for you, its wrapped up in and around you. He longs for you, He
wants you, with everything He is…and you have no choice but to respond with the
same love, and together you are set on fire, and it is the most glorious
meeting of two souls you will ever knonw…yours and the one who created you.
It’s His love that brings us to Him again and again and again.
We come fully alive in the love that pursues without rest,
in the heart that longs and pants for yours, in the fire that sets between you.
It is a blazing torch that guides you home in the dark, it is the warmth when
you are cold and afraid, it is the glow that brings life to your cheeks.
A
woman pursued comes alive, just as a woman who isn’t being pursued withers and
wilts. And this heart is the heart of God for his people. And this is the heart
of God for us onto himself. That we would go on pursueing one another in this
way.
It takes a heart, a whole heart…you cannot give only half or
only a piece, it will require everything. But a man or a woman in love never
thinks of the price, only of what it will feel like to hold your heart so close
to theirs. No woman wants scraps and left over pieces, instead we want to be special…special enough that someone would
go that extra mile…special enough that you would write us just to say you missed
us and were thinking of our smile, even if we’ve only been apart for five
minutes. And this is the heart of God, he wants to not only be a passing thought
throughout the day, he wants us to be captivated by Him.
Lord forgive me for the ways that I haven’t pursued you. You
are the heart of the man, the pursuer, the leader, the provider. You romance me
and draw me out and make me come alive in your love…but you are also the heart
of a woman, I can look at the longings of my heart and find that they reside in
your heart too. They reflect the way you desire to be loved, to be seen as
captivating. You long for me to pour out my affections for you because they are
too great to contain, you desire for me to be so head over heels in love with
you that I can’t sleep or breath without you. You long for my passion, my
heart, my devotion, my care, my romance...just like I do. And I know the pain
you feel when I neglect to show you this love Jesus. Let me sing of your love
each morning and speak it tenderly to you each night. Let me shower you in
affection, because I am captivated by you Lord, I do love you with everything I
am.
I will pursue you. I will surrender it all to you, my whole
heart.
Thank you Jesus.
