New Revelations :)

I was reading something from AW Tozer and he said something that really captivated my attention. He said,

"It's a strange and beautiful eccentricity of the free God that He has allowed His heart to be emotionally identified with men. Self-sufficient as He is, He wants our love and will not be satisified until He gets it. Free as He is, He has let His heart be bound to us forever."

I love this so much because we are emotional beings who long for relationships. Sometimes i think i was blessed with more emotions that others :) ha God designed us that way so that He could fill our every desire. It amazes me that He wants my love. He is so self-sufficient and never in need, yet He wants me. He chose me. I have to let this marinate in my heart to really believe what this means. If i really understood my Father's relentless heart then things would be so different. He is showing me this week of His constant pursuit after me. He is constantly drawing me and calling me and wooing me. So many times i don't even seem to realize it. But then other times, it is the smallest things that get my attention. The scenery is beautiful here at camp and as i looked outside today, it seemed like even the trees looked more beautiful than usual. It reminded me of what an intricate Daddy I have that made so many special things just for us. Jesus is on a mission to captivate His Bride before His return. My heart has to remain focused. I have to be in union with Him and be emotionally connected with my Beloved. I feel so much urgency today to reach out for more. I pray this summer i will be able to stay in a hungry place at all times so that complacency will not be anywhere in sight.

It's time to let go and pour ALL my love out, just like in the story of Mary at Bethany. She saved her perfume as a dowry for her husband which entitled her future and her dreams. She realized what it was all about. She poured her dreams, her future, and her life on the feet of Jesus. What a sweet frangrace! I am tired of holding back a jar of my love and my dreams. It is time to pour it all out of Jesus feet and allow Him to take me to a sweeter place of intimacy. I must let go of all I've been holding onto in order for me to go deeper with Him.
