Let Us Lodge In The Villages

Song of Solomon 7:10-13: I am my Beloved’s, and His desire is towards me. Come, my Beloved, let us go forth to the field; let us lodge in the villages, let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine has budded. Whether the grape blossoms are open, and the pomegranates […]

Come My Beloved

Let Your Guard Down

You are the Bride of Christ; therefore, realize that our walk with the Lord is the sweetest when intimacy permeates every part of our relationship. ÿ  Communion with Christ is that which all that are sanctified earnestly breathe after; and the clearer discoveries He makes to them of His love the more earnestly do they […]

Don’t Settle For Less

Being drenched with His Faithful Husband love is your DESTINY! So don’t settle for anything less…seek until you find. Look with me at all the times God promised us He would be listening for us to call upon Him: ÿ  Jeremiah 29:13-14: You will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with […]

Life of Love

To Jesus, friendship is an expression of love – another way to demonstrate what cannot be defined. He says we are to live a life of this love! Matthew 22:37-40 tells us that love is what fulfills the law. If we love God and we love each other we are in full compliance with Christ’s […]

Draw Near To God

Song of Solomon 5:16: This is My Beloved and this is my Friend…. Friendship is a two way street. It requires reciprocity – a big word for give and take. What is the Lord giving you right now? What are you giving to Him? Isaiah 45:3: I will give you the treasures of darkness And […]

He Lays Down His Life
