Close

Close

Just keep your distance. Back off. Step away. That’s close enough. Don’t move.

These are not my words.

I say…

Come a little closer. Come a little deeper. Come close. Feel my presence. Feel my touch. Experience my embrace. Just hold me, and be held by me. Up close and personal. Right up close. Intimate. Feel my embrace.

Feel the embrace of the one you love.

I know this is so emotional for you.

Touch by the one you love.

For I want you to experience my love up close.

A moment of wonder.

A lesson in wonder.

For you still cannot describe it.

Every time it is so different.

Is this not such a great mystery?

A wonder to behold.

A taste of heaven.

Beyond.

Yes beyond.

Beyond your imagination.

Beyond your thinking.

The feeling of love, to love and be loved.

For your love embraces you.

For my love embraces you.

Embrace my love.

Embrace my love and be free.

Unbounded, unbridled, uncontainable, reckless, abandoned, passionate, filled with my fullness, bursting forth with joy, unbridled, unbound, boundless, beyond the boundary, without limit, over the edge, beyond the edge, over the edge.

For your heart skips a beat, your breath returns to your lungs, your life is restored, your being is restored. For my love has come.

My love is here.

My love holds you.

My love has hold of you.

My love is poured out for you.

My love is always here for you.

It speaks to you and says “I am here”.

For I cannot walk away.

I will not leave you.

I cannot forsake you.

For it was for your sake.

I was forsaken for your sake.

I ripped open the barrier.

I tore it apart.

For the veil was torn.

Like the veil of your bride being lifted.

For that which was limited, that which stood in our way, was torn.

Matthew 27:51 Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split,

You see it now don’t you?

I can see it in your eyes now.

Such beauty on display, my glory on display, my joy smiling back at you, for my love looked back at you and smiled.

The removing of the veil was an invitation for you to come close.

“You may kiss the bride”

For my love kissed your love, and exploded all around.

My love on display.

For you are and always will be my love.

There is nothing that you can do that will separate us, that will cause us to separate.

There is nothing that can get in the way of my love.

Romans 8:35-39 Who shall ever separate us from Christ’s love? Shall suffering and affliction and tribulation? Or calamity and distress? Or persecution or hunger or destitution or peril or sword? Even as it is written, For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long; we are regarded and counted as sheep for the slaughter. Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us. For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor thing’s impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers, Nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

For I am always with you.

When I said “let’s go steady”, I really meant it.

You can rely on me.

I will always hold your hand.

When you are with me can anything tear us apart?

Stop your ears to hear the words of distance.

Say after me “STOP”.

For you can trust me to keep you afloat.

I walk upon that which rages against you.

I am not scared of the biggest wave, or the strongest lightning.

I laugh at your opposition.

Nothing causes me concern.

Here let me show you something…

A giant waterfall streaming over me pushing against me. Stream after stream. Wave upon wave. Yet I remain unmoved, and unaffected by it. A great washing. Awash with gift upon gift. Present after present falling into my lap.

This is what accelerated blessing looks like.

My gift pressed down upon you.

The pressing gift.

The pressing of the gift.

My gifts multiplied.

Wave upon wave.

Be not overwhelmed by it, just receive it.

For my gift is not washed away by the torrent.

Gifts upon gift, multiplied gifts, gift x gift, more gifts, shall pour into your lap.

For the best is yet to come, is coming, has come.

Can I come over?

Can I come over to your house?

For I long to be with you.

I long to hold you close.

I want you to feel my touch.

For my hand reaches out to you.

I long for your embrace.
