My beloved is mine and I am His
How I long for Your love, long for Your kiss
The knowledge of Your love for me
Is the truth that sets me free
Kisses from Heaven, from Father God to me
Beloved - a person who is dearly loved. Knowledge - awareness.
Love - a deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, arising from kinship, or a sense of underlying oneness;
an intense emotional attachment for a treasured object.
Free - to take away from a person anything uncomfortable, inconvenient, difficult, unwelcome, etc; able to act as one wants.
Beloved + Love + Knowledge of Love = Freedom.
Free because one is loved. The love of God liberates us from the shackles we place on ourselves and also by others.
Mistakes are forgiven. Weaknesses are accepted. Differences are overcome. Pain is released as healing is received. Shame wiped off. Hopes renewed.
The choice then rests with the beloved. Love given but not reciprocated returns to the giver void. Love received and returned nourishes the soul.
What God desires from us is relationship. What God desires amongst us is fellowship.
One cannot find or lose a religion because of one’s belief in God or the existence of a Greater Being.
I have known of a prodigal who left the father’s house in search of something else.
For years the father longed for the child to come home, for the child to know that he is loved, for the child to return to his family.
Finally the child decided to make his way home. And all the father said was, “It was right that we should make merry and be glad, for your brother was dead and is alive again, and was lost and is found. Luke 15:32 NKJV. How do we know we are loved? Go back and find out. Return to the source.
