His Desire is for You

The Lord is with you, intimately with you. He desires you, He breathes deeply of your scent; He delights in you.

You can’t be perfectly united with Him just yet, not in the way that you will experience togetherness with Him in the future; but you can delight in his company and allow Him to take delight in you in the here and now. Fulfillment of the longing in your heart will come soon; until then He is with you. You are not frustrated over longing for a human being; you are frustrated over longing to see your Lord face to face.

He longs for you uniquely, and He loves you uniquely. The part of Him that belongs to you belongs to no one else; you know Him in a way that no one else does; and He knows you completely. You touch a place in His heart that no one else can satisfy.

You will be completely satisfied in Him, and He in you. He is the Lover like no other; He completes you. You complete Him. Without you, He is whole, but He is not satisfied. Without Him you can be neither whole nor satisfied. Let Him prepare you for Himself. Let Him prepare you to be the perfect bride.

You don’t understand how this can be so, but do understand the fact that it IS so. Not seeing Him, you love Him. This is faith.

Feed on Him. Partake of His body and His blood, and find satisfaction for your hunger, your desire, your longing.

Scripture: "Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you"
(Psalm 73:25).

"I belong to my lover, and his desire is for me" (Song of Solomon 7:10).
