My love, the essence of this home is foundational in our love for each other. Each day we beat our brains out accomplishing huge list of things for just that cause. We don’t do them just “because we have to”, but because it is foundational to the whole family. Our parents didn’t do it for any different reasons, they just may not have been as fully aware of the why’s and how’s of it all. We know well the issues of the homes we grew up in…the strengths and weaknesses, everything as a whole.
My beloved, the essence of My Church is built in a foundation of love in Me and to each other. Don’t kill yourself in My Name for the cause! You don’t just obey because you “have to”, but because you love Me. This is a house built on the Rock! I love you in all your strengths and weaknesses and I brought you up in a way to train you to hear Me.
I remember the earliest days of courtship how we were both caught up in wonder…knowing He really was bringing us together. From the outside it may not have looked as obvious, but we knew pretty quickly what He was bringing together. It will soon be 25 years since that first Memorial Day weekend. I won’t call it all a breeze, but I will say it is all cherished as great experience!
I remember the early days of accepting Him. I wasn’t one in awe and wonder. Rather, I was just wondering! He did give me a desire to follow Him and learn His Word. It was almost 20 years later He taught me about relationship with Holy Spirit! It isn’t far from another 20 and I cherish the years and seasons.
I came home from a conference one year a changed man. Certainly has not been without a rollercoaster ride or two, but He keeps bringing back to a renewed sense of His Holy Spirit explosion from there. That experience reset love in me. I believe it was a melding of my first loves….salvation and baptism of Holy Spirit. A renewal and new anointing to boot! It further allows me to write, which is of course the very foundation of my gifts. He has been busy on my poor heart, removing clutter, unbelief, and (non)essential cargo. He is showing me there is no reason to be distraught, angry, despondent, depressed, or any of the rest!! I just have to walk in it. “I create my world and walk in it!” is a quote I relate to. He has been showing me that in spite of myself, I can walk in it!!
He is calling us to come together in a big way (and we have been) for the kids, our marriage, and supporters of each other’s destinies. My love…I love back and look at how it all just makes sense why He chose us as partners. We are called to be great loving counterbalances to each other. As He puts renewal to my first loves for Him, He also increases them for us!!
He is calling US to come together in big ways for the Body, our betrothal to Him, and to support each other’s destinies. My beloved, I love you back as I chose you to partner with Me!
He is my truest love. I see why He has placed us in Him and with each other. He calls us to love Him above all else. He created mankind to love Him, a balance that no one can counter.
