I am so blessed by your post.... so beautiful is the heart of the Father... so beautiful is the heart of Jesus towards you and towards me.<br /><br />After reading that verse in Revelations, I reminded of the verse another verse in Matthew when Jesus said, "Many will say to Me in that day,<br />‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’<br />And then I will declare to them,<br />‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’<br /><br />I had always been so scared of that verse, until just a couple months ago, Abba brought me back to it again. I looked up that word "knew" and it is the same "know" as is used in reference to a husband and wife and their intimate relationship.<br /><br />I was floored! It's so right up the same alley as the verse in revelation to Ephesus... these people were "doing" all these things in the name of Jesus, but He says to them, "You missed the whole point... you never knew me.. we never had intimate relationship with each other."<br /><br />Beautiful letter... beautiful song... thankyou for sharing this. :)<br /><br />AmyAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17046924507335607146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749153883012123464.post-29895070110351393332010-02-26T21:40:37.143-06:002010-02-26T21:40:37.143-06:00Wow, Amy!

Luke 10:41-42, "But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but ONE THING is NECESSARY. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her."<br /><br />Let's go after that ONE THING with total abandon!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10815407223291687972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749153883012123464.post-50236244619972332702010-02-26T09:13:00.762-06:002010-02-26T09:13:00.762-06:00simply lovely....simply lovely....Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13481930991215306755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749153883012123464.post-20952415123059443552010-02-26T09:03:33.632-06:002010-02-26T09:03:33.632-06:00I really want to team up with you on this adventur...I really want to team up with you on this adventure.

I believe he is loving on his bride, calling her once again, and like in Song of solomon:<br /><br />Song of Solomon 5:3 <br /><br /> 3 I have taken off my robe— <br /> must I put it on again? <br /> I have washed my feet— <br /> must I soil them again?<br /><br />We have in a way, taken off our robes. We have forgotten our first love, other things have stood in the way of just running to the door to meet Jesus, dressed or not!!<br /><br />Be blessed in your times of intimacy with him. xRebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07872423274029492008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749153883012123464.post-47537571722971948042010-02-26T04:21:30.085-06:002010-02-26T04:21:30.085-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749153883012123464.post-53604952316262009702010-02-26T01:51:22.720-06:002010-02-26T01:51:22.720-06:00Beautiful - it's so true that as much as we lo...Beautiful - it's so true that as much as we love Him and long for Him, He longs for and loves us.PaisleyJadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497053121360068116noreply@blogger.com
