Lover

It's been a long time since I have truly seen God as my lover. I have felt him as many things in my life, and mostly I have seen him as friend and comfort and strength. Until recently. The last few days He has been my Lover, the fullfiller of my soul, my true other half, a gracious and tender prince. A constant and Holy reminder that it is He who loves me, provides for me, cares for me deeply. He woos me in the night, draws my thoughts in the day, My Lord fills me. He is a gentleman, not pushing himself into my life; instead standing near, quietly, gently offering His salvation and life.

"The one thing I ask of the Lord—
the thing I seek most—
is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
delighting in the Lord’s perfections
and meditating in his Temple." Psalm 27:4
