Love Letter For You

There is something about putting your feelings for someone in words.  Words are powerful and written words are concrete.  Words have the power to create, to edify, to justify.  I have a friend who writes amazing Poetry/Prose/Spoken Word/Music.  A few days ago, he posted a piece about beauty that was inspired by a former coworker.  It was breathtaking.  I remember saying...Wow, I want to be the muse that inspires someone to feel that way... to put their feelings for, towards or about me in words.  That, I think, would be in the top 5 of my ultimate gifts list. (LOL).  As I meditated on this, God spoke to my Spirit...in that small still voice that has become so loud....He assured me that he is preparing one who will love me, see me and treat me as he does.  He told me in the meantime, to continue to bask in the glory of his love.  You see, we throw that word around so loosely. Some of us have come to accept the watered down, materialistic, superficial definition that society has presented... Real love whether Agape or Eros, should mirror God's love for us.  As I continued to listen, I was reassured that "earthly love" was being prepared for me and those words would come.  Then, I was reminded that a love letter has been written to me.  One that would help me to measure the weight of that to come.  It is the type of letter that you fold after reading and tuck in a safe place, knowing that you will come back to it again and again.  Incidentally, this letter has your name on it as well. God sees you searching... he said ..... go ahead...unfold .....read my love letter for you.
