I once heard about an old lady who prayed a simple prayer every morning. She said "Father, make me as holy as a forgiven sinner can be." That prayer, is the most beautiful prayer. That is what I want, that my actions and words would be love.
The song 'Garden' by needtobreath says "Let the words I say confess my love. Father, let my heart be after you."
Love is a little word that means so much to everyone, it is either tainted or highlighted by life. But God he IS love.
The thought of a holy romance keeps intruding my thoughts, I don't even understand what that is. At first I was critical of the phrase thinking it was another cliche' religious phrase that single people used... but now I think it sounds pretty good, being "in love" with Jesus.
hmmm. as my favorite character would say "tink tink tink".
mucho loves.
Have you read "The Sacred Romance" by John Eldredge? Being in love with Jesus, and realizing He's in love with you....there's nothing like it, Sadie. xoxoxo
