Selah...
This is a little something I wrote...just because it's what was on my heart. Just to clear it up, if it is a little more ambiguous than I expected it to be, the italics are God talking to me, and the regular font is me. Enjoy
Tonight, my heart is heavy. From where this weight comes I don't know, but it runs along the banks of a peace that I cannot grasp, although it ventures close enough. My aimless journey has lead me by these shores many times, just enough to peer into the cool flowing water and see exactly what I've been seeking forever. Everything.
Selah echoes through my mind like the waning toll of a church bell reverberating off rocky hills. Captivating the mind with a sudden strike and fading ring, only to strike again Stop, and listen. Hear the song your heart wants to sing to me. Stop? Know peace? At what cost?
Everything. Lose yourself in me. Let your heart beat with brokenness. Let every step be lit by my word. Let the song of your heart be My song. You're looking for someone to love...love Me. I won't break your heart, I can't. I love you too much.
My passions aren't You, not enough. My still heart beats for another, for myself.
She will never satisfy you, she wasn't made to, not fully...
But...
Only when you rest in Me, knowing Me as your completion, will you know the fullness that the hearti of the one I created for you can bring. Only then can you truly appreciate the one you were created for. She's there, waiting for you, Nathan. Waiting for you to find Me, to trust Me. Don't worry, she's as anxious for you as you are for her. She's preparing, just as you are. I'm keeping her now, for you. Stop looking for her, look to Me.

That's awesome, Nathan! God is so good!
my first time over here- this post is precious!.. because His love and plan is precious.
it feels so good to LET our heart rejoice ~~song of fulfillment
i liked the bell description!
yes, He'll never forsake our heart. i liked reading this.. God has been helping me and holding my heart with how a friend of mine, that was close, is now very distant and doesn't respond. He completes and to live! i need to trust that He and others He'll put in my life is sufficient and will make for a blessed life looking back- even if it didn't include her. It's aching when I had pictured we'd be close for our many years ahead.
While writing part of this, I set my dinner plate on part of the keyboard and it began to type the number 4 over and over.. He's our best to hold 4(for)ever and ever and ever and ever...... He's sweet!!! Reminds me of a David Crowder song!
I noticed and stopped it, then copied and pasted it into Word and got the character count.. 796 number 4's haha
More fullness and appreciation in marriage-- yes! When we remember to rest our heart more on Him than our spouse, this avoids woundings, judgments.. and we can rejoice with the other more easily. And He's great at getting us ready beforehand.. and He's just a splendorous Friend for along our way. Bless you, Nathan!!
