by Bruce Pointer:
Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone, to have a deep relationship with another, to be loved thoroughly & exclusively, but God to a Christian says, no not until you are satisfied & fulfilled & content totally & unreservedly in Me, content to have an intensely personal & unique relationship with Me alone. I love you, my child, & until you discover that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found, you will not be capable of the perfect human relationship that I have planned for you. You will never be united with another until you are united with Me - exclusive of anything or anyone else, exclusive of any other desireds or longings. I want you to stop planning, stop wishing, and allow Me to give you the most thrilling plan existing - one that you cannot imagine. I want you to have the best! Please allow Me to bring it to you. You just keep watching Me, expecting the greatest things.Keep the satisfaction, know that I AM. Keep learning & listening to the things I tell you, and you must wait. Don't be anxious & don't worry. Don't look around at the things that others have gotten or that I have given them. Don't look at the things you think you want. Just keep on looking off & away up to Me or you'll miss what I have to show you. And then, when you are ready, I will surprise you with a love far more wonderful than you would ever dream of. You see, until you are ready and the one I have for you is ready, you have to wait. I am working this very minute to have both of you ready athe the same time. And until you are both satisfied exclusively with the life I have prepared for you through Me, you won't be able to experience with the life I have prepared for you through Me, you won't be able to experience the love that exemplifies your relationship with Me, and to enjoy materially & concretely the everlasting union of beauty & perfection & love that I offer you with Myself. I love you utterly : I am God Almighty. Believe & Be Satisfied!
SO refreshing. He needs to be our first love. After all, He loved us first and His love for us is completely unconditional and it knows no limits!
This is definitely one of my favorite quotes! Thanks for the reminder! :]
ReplyDeleteThis makes me tear up because I now know how true it is. I went through a lot of relationships without being fully satisfied in God, and He was calling me to love Him completely the whole time. Once I finally let go of what I thought I needed in a guy, and trusted what the Lord KNEW, he brought my husband into my life. I am forever grateful for that grace and wish it upon everyone else because it is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMuch love,

I love this!! It took me a little while to realize this...and I kept wondering why I wasn't totally fulfilled.
