Seeing, Hearing, Living

[Mary B]

I love Him. I love Him. I love Him. We are more than sheep of His
pasture. We are more than servants. More than friends. We are even
more than His children. He is our Beloved and we are His Bride. Now.
Not later. We are already His Bride. Does that not rock your world? He
sees us as beautiful. All glorious within. He is not hung up on our
imperfections. He is totally head-over-heels in love with us. We were
made for Him to love and to love Him. He's not badgering me to shape
up or ship out. He's wooing me to drop all else and come away with
Him. When He finished making me, He said, "It is VERY good. That's in
YOUR Bible in Genesis. When He finished the sixth day of creation. I
was made then. He saved me for a later date to be born, but that's
when He made me.

He is the very breath I take. So when I sing, or play pipes, flute,
shofar, whatever, I breathe Him out over all near me. I carry Him - I
am a vessel carrying precious oil - the oil of the Holy Spirit. I have
lots of holes in me where it leaks out whenever I move. The pictures I
see in my mind - they are from Him. I am learning to draw what I see.
It is not easy - that is not a craft I have indulged in much. But it's
in my mind, and wants to be seen, so I try. And then embroider it.

We reveal Him with our very lives. That is precious. Lord, may my
light - the light that You are within me - shine bright. We need each
other, You and I. Together, we reveal You to the world that You would
redeem. Oh, open eyes to see, ears to hear, noses to breathe and
smell, all senses to know You, Beloved. Your love rains down on us
continually. Let us be thankful for that always!!!!
