You know...I still have homework to do before class at 9 tomorrow...but I can't bring myself to do it. I feel paralyzed in most senses of the word as I sit here seemingly confined to my chair, not because I'm being forced to but rather because it comes by choice. I'm captured...gripped...by a love that surpasses all understanding. I can't even open my mouth because I am left without words, without any desire to speak at the moment. The Lord says "Taste and see that I am good," and but just a morsel on my tongue tonight leaves me beyond wonder and imagination...for I am not left to imagine what things are to be, but that I now know...the richest of the rich and the purest of the pure, the Only that comes from the Lord. Could it be that He loves me this much? This question I have dared to ask and have since found the answer...He does. Out of His infinite character and love He wishes to bestow and bestow He does. It's easy to look to the external things and how He will use the things He does, but as I heard very clearly tonight, it's about me and Him. It's about me allowing Him to woo me and show me that He not only does things for His glory but that I may know Him intimately, not just as the God who does this great thing, but as the One who loves me beyond compare...and I couldn't hold back the tears tonight as I realized this great thing.
He is surely faithful. His promises certainly endure. He loves me with an everlasting love. And what He said He would bring about, that He will do, and that He is...!
