HOLY TROUBLE

CALLS OF THE BRIDE  O Lover, I come I come out from the veil upon this earth and I seek Your Love I seek You as though You are hidden as though You are away these many years I seek You Do You see me arise and come to look for You? Do You notice that I have only eyes for You? Do You know that the injustice that I encounter here is as nothing if I can just catch a glimpse of Your Face? When will You come to me, my Love? When will Your shadow fall upon the ground next to mine? I watch for You I wait . . . but I will wait forever, for I know You cometh I know ~ in time, You will come and hold me close and never let me go I love You, my Friend, my Love, my Life I love You . . .  ~ You say to arise and to look to look for You I look in the places where they speak Your Name but I find You not I look in the places where they teach of You and preach in Your Name but You are not there Where are You, my Love? Where are You upon this earth that I may come and dwell with You? I seek You as though You are buried treasure I search for You in the daytime hours and in the night when all is silent but my thoughts and yearning for You I call out for You and Your Presence is here with me Is it wrong to want more? Is it truly wrong to want Your Touch and to hear Your Voice? We await You, my Friend, my Love, my Life Those of us who know You well await that day when we will touch You and hear Your Voice Come now, my Love and let us walk in the cool of the evening and talk of things for which You wish to share I will listen I will listen to every word and I will consume You if possible with my love for You my devotion unto all that You are Have I told you this hour that I love You? I do, You know I do . . .  ~ ~ Where does this love come from? Where did it arise from? I sought You as a child I sought You  because of what I had heard of You I heard, as a child, of a Savior who died upon a cross for me I sought You even as a young child but I did not truly find You until I hung on the same cross I could not know Your love for me until I had loved how You did I love You! I don’t fully understand how You could die for someone such as myself but I know that it was love that took You there I have hung on the cross, too I have known the despair and the loneliness I have known the absence of the Father I have known Your own thoughts as You hung I hung with You, my Friend and now I know You as I never could have without the sacrifice of myself Where does this love this passion for You come from? It comes from  walking where You walked and feeling what You felt It comes from having Your tears mingled  with mine It comes from lying before You in surrender and knowing that You will take up this defeated life and bring forth gold Pure gold from all the suffering If the remainder of the road is the same if it requires suffering to know You to truly know You then bring it on, my Friend For I must know You to Your total depths I will pursue You  until I am fully Yours I love You my Friend, my Love, my Savior If there is any part of me that is not Yours this day please claim it unto Yourself for Your Redemption You are Mine and I am Yours  I rest in You Please rest in me, my Love  ~ ~ ~ Good morning, my Love I feel Your Presence already upon me You talk in hushed tones until I am fully awake I know Your Voice I know Your Touch through Your Spirit How can I sleep when I would  rather be with You? Do You miss me as I sleep? I miss You ~ I surely do Why must I be so human? Someday Your Bride will fully be where You are and there will be no cause for sleeping no need to truly rest Just singing and dancing and loving I’ve had tastes of that when You have taken me to be with You but it is so hard to return  Good morning, my Friend May I honor You this day with all that I am? Do You feel the sunlight caressing the earth? That’s how I feel when You are near A warmth that goes to my very soul May we hold hands and hearts throughout this day May You truly know that You are loved every one of my waking hours I love You, my King You are my Joy ~ my GREATEST JOY! Have a wonderful day, my Friend  ~ ~ ~ ~ O my Lord, I am in great travail today  Bring forth Your Holy work across this earth this day Bring it forth, my Friend Bring it forth . . .   ***** "THIS IS THE DAY OF YOUR JOY MY BRIDE! THIS IS TRULY THE DAY OF YOUR VICTORY!"    Trouble on...
