Union with אלוהים
Love is as strong as death;
its jealousy unyielding as the grave.
Love’s flames are vehement flames of fire,
the very flame of Yah.
Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot sweep it away.
Intimacy with a Holy God
One woman’s journey of walking with a kind God Who burns with ardent flames of love.
God, My Beloved, My Friend
My Revelation on the Island of Patmos: Part 3d of 5
While being tormented the Bride reveals God’s alluring beauty and inspires hearts to fall in love with Him. (Song of Songs 5:10-16) This Shulamite continues to be an inspiration to me as I persevere through physical pain. May the kindest, Beloved God with transcendent beauty, the Friend of the weak, reveal His love and keep our hearts from growing cold during times of suffering.
Kind Speech
“His mouth is most sweet…” Song of Songs 5:16 “…חִכּוֹ, מַמְתַקִּים”
You are the nicest One I know. I am dark, yet, with grace upon Your lips You convey Your affections to me by calling me lovely. You are remarkably more beautiful and more appealing than the sons of men.
Tender words empower my heart to believe as You beckon me to Your throne of grace to behold Your face and torn body. My Love, Your extravagant kindness leads me to turn again and again and again to You.
You call me Your rose, the delight of Your soul, the joy set before You. My fragrance, my simple devotion is Your desired inheritance. In stillness I consider what You think of me.
Transcendent Beauty
“Yes, He is altogether lovely…” Song of Songs 5:16 “…וְכֻלּוֹ, מַחֲמַדִּים”
Zeal of my heart, Desire of the nations, Your wholehearted love…
