Riches and Intimacy

September. I always think that this is the month that holds summer in its hand, yet reaches out with the other towards Fall.

I think that is how we should be...holding what we are and what we know of Jesus our heavenly  lover, yet reaching out for more of what He has for us....riches and intimacy beyond our wildest dreams. All of us should be in that transitional place where we enjoy His presence yet long for more. Isn't that exciting? To know there is always more, a going deeper, a seeking after more of His love and a broadening of our horizons...that our tent pegs will be enlarged.

I love that....to know The Lord is never stationary, He is always moving in our lives, longing to bring us into a closer embrace with Him. I so long for a deeper closeness, that today even this very minute there is more I can experience of Him whose name is like perfume poured out. (Song of Songs 1: 3)

Love.

How I love you my Lord,
Like a singing bird I long
For your touch, to free me
To dance, run, sing for you.

Set my spirit free my Lord,
To run with You and see
Your wonders fresh this day
Through your eyes of love

Touch my heart my Lord,
Make it more like Yours
That we may sing together
Both in perfect harmony.
