"O my beloved, abide under the shelter of the lattice, for I have betrothed you to Myself, and though you are sometimes indifferent from Me, My love for you is at all times as a flame of fire. My longing for your love and affection is deep and constant.
Tarry not for an opportunity to have more time to be alone with Me. Take it, though you leave the tasks at hand. Nothing will suffer. Things are less importance than you think. Our time together is like a garden full of flowers, whereas the time you give to things is as a field of stubble.
I love you, and if you can always, as it were, feel My pulse beat, you will receive insight that will give you sustaining strength. I bore your sins and I wish to carry your burdens. You may take the gift of a light and merry heart, for My love dispels all fear and is a cure for every ill. Lay your head upon My breast, and loose yourself in Me. You will experience resurrection life and peace; the joy of the Lord will become your strength; and wells of salvation will be opened within you.
My promises are of no avail to you expect as you apply and appropriate them by faith. In your daily walk, you shall be victorious only to the degree that you trust Me. I can help you only as you ask. I will meet you at every point where you put action alongside your prayers. Only as you walk will the waters of adversity be parted before you. Overburdened as the world is with trouble and sickness, I need those who have proved My sufficiency in everyday, personal experience to lead the suffering to fountains of life. I need those who have found Me as burden-bearer to help bring deliverance to the oppressed.
Never begrudge time given to chronic complainers, but recognize in each encounter the opportunity to speak a word that may lead to their liberation. No case is too hard for Me. Never be taken by surprise when I use you to change a pattern. Do not judge a man by what he appears to be, but see him as what he can be if he gives himself unreservedly to Me."
~Jesus

This post was AMAZING!! I love how your close walk with the Lord shines through your post! You so often hear how you are to love God more than anyone else....including your spouse or future spouse! This post shows that you truly do! :)
One of my favorite Tenth Avenue North songs. "Death shall not part us, it is you I died for."
