Renewing Passion – Day 5
Then the LORD will create over all of Mount Zion and over those who assemble there a cloud of smoke by day and a glow of flaming fire by night; over all the glory will be a canopy. Isaiah 4:5
I long to see Your presence, God. To have it be so real to me, I can reach out my hand and touch Your face. Come near to me, Lord. Press Your face right up to mine. I want to be close to You. I want to have more of You. I just want to be with You.
The greatest desire of My heart is to hold each one of My children close. I want to love you in ways you cannot imagine. You have not even begun to experience My love in the ways I desire for you to receive it. You can’t contain it. My Spirit longs to ravage you with My love. My heart longs to set you on fire with the blaze of My Holy Spirit. There is no greater joy than to let My love consume you. To watch you move into greater fullness of My love. To watch the flames of My passion transform you. To feel the overflow of My love in you, as you invite more of My Spirit, as you receive more of Me. It is a joy to watch you weep and laugh with the overflowing of My heart in you.
I speak of depths you cannot fathom. Heights you cannot imagine. Yet My desires are simple. I long to have you gaze on My face; to have you reach for My face, as a small child, and pull Me close, and touch My heart with your love.
I could do that forever, Lord. Just reach for You, and never have enough of You. Always wanting more. Just to be in Your presence forever, and have You gaze on me with eyes of love. And to love You, and bless You, and just to be Yours, always. That desire is so great in me I can’t even express it.
Come closer. Don’t be afraid. There is no part of Me, nothing in Me at all that would ever hurt you. I am the fullness of good, and light, and perfectness, and faithful, unchanging, eternal love. I know the fullness of My love in you, and that’s where I’m leading you, every hour drawing closer to walking in more of that fullness. I am growing you in the image of Christ, leading you to where you can drink ever more deeply of My love. Transforming you with My love. So that you will walk and live and breathe as a revelation of My love. Come closer, and let Me change your heart. Let Me pour My love into you, and consume you, and overflow you, and lift you up, close to Me, where you can see My heart poured out for all of My children, and find new life in Me.
Lord, I want more of You. I say yes! I’m dizzy in Your presence, but captivated and can’t let go of You. Don’t want to let go of You. Draw me in. Change my heart. Lift me up to be beside You, always, to see what You are doing, to feel Your heart beating inside of me. Let me be consumed by Your love. I want this. I want You! Help me, Lord, to receive all of the love You have for me. Transform me into the image of Jesus, and let Your love be everything in me.
Walk beside Me, and hold My hand. I will lead you on the path I have set for you. It is a path that leads deeper into My heart, and with each breath, more of My love seeps into you. I have created you to receive the fullness of My love. Every hour, My darling child, you are growing in My love. Look up to Me, trust Me, and I will lift you up to see what I am doing. And you will be overwhelmed by the love you feel as My heart and My Spirit pour into you. Lean back, and rest in My arms. Let Me simply love you.
