Recapture the Romance
Where to even start? The Lord is so good, so beautiful, so sweet, so rich, so...words fail me. Deep are the places of the Lord, sovereign are His ways, Holy is His presence. Who are we that we get to commune with the God of the Universe? Who are we that we should share in His son's inheritance. Grace. Mercy. Only by these are we even fit to be in relationship with the Creator, who is the uncreated one. Do you know that it actually says in Revelation that in the end, "God will dwell with man, and he will live them. They will be His people and God himself will be with them and be their God." And what about the mystery the incredible experience of having the Holy Spirit who is God dwelling within us right now? Whoaaaa!! Glory Lord! That very fact blows me away, and yet it took me 25 years to take the time to ponder this fact and have it really sink in. God. Is. Inside. Me. And yet as a people we fail to commit like a wayward wife who says yes to the commitment of a marriage and in her heart has no intention to be faithful and have one husband. The marriage is only a guarantee that someone will be there in the end, and the promise that he will forgive and take her back over and over again. PEOPLE THIS IS HOW WE TREAT GOD! WAKE UP! COMMIT NOW WITH CONVICTION!
Recapture the romance of The Lover of our souls. Love him, pour your heart into him, bathe Him in your perfume of worship, cover Him with the kisses of your affection. Don't hold back waiting for another, there is none other. He's the one you've been looking for, waiting for, longing after. He is the satisfier. Give him all of you. Love Him with Reckless abandon. All he asks is that you love Him.
Revel now in the inheritance that could be yours:
I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you. The riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

Good reminder. It's a blessing to read of your conviction. I need to dwell on it more. The first thing it made me think about is how Christians - specifically me - forget about what power there is available to us. If I let Him live in and through me, awesome things can happen. Ex: I've picked at/bitten my nails since I was a little kid; what if I applied God's power and discipline to that? But the patience and endurance and wisdom that is so much greater can also be bestowed on us...
Then there's dwelling in that sense/knowledge of full, perfect love. We should feel like we're on cloud 9 more often. Hope and beauty woven together.
Grace and Mercy. You're so right on that statement.
Thanks for your thoughts and words.
P.S. Love the new background!
