Rising up in the midst of STILLNESS with PAPA

Scripture


Songs of Songs 2:10-14


The Man

10-14 Get up, my dear friend,
fair and beautiful lover—come to me!
Look around you: Winter is over;
the winter rains are over, gone!
Spring flowers are in blossom all over.
The whole world's a choir—and singing!
Spring warblers are filling the forest
with sweet arpeggios.
Lilacs are exuberantly purple and perfumed,
and cherry trees fragrant with blossoms.
Oh, get up, dear friend,
my fair and beautiful lover—come to me!
Come, my shy and modest dove—
leave your seclusion, come out in the open.
Let me see your face,
let me hear your voice.
For your voice is soothing
and your face is ravishing.



Psalm 63:2-4

2-4 So here I am in the place of worship, eyes open,
drinking in your strength and glory.
In your generous love I am really living at last!
My lips brim praises like fountains.
I bless you every time I take a breath;
My arms wave like banners of praise to you.

Observation
God is calling his beloved to come out from her hiding place and soar with him. I can see Gods' love for me, his daughter here.
I want to be out of this "uncertainty", to be close to my Father like before. The feeling of hopelessness and uncertainty is so real but God has not called me to that, but for a greater purpose.

God adores his children. He adores me and He wants the best for me. This I must always remember. I must not let his death be in vain.

Application
Today, this has reminded me of how important I am to the Lord. I must not throw away the "death" that Christ has paid for me.
Such peace in mind.

Prayer
Dear Lord, yes, I remember. I will focus unto you and not the things/circumstances around me. Please continue to shower your love and grace upon me so that I can do the same for others. :)

Loving you,
Doremi
