Divine Husband

I gave you everything.
Everything you ever wanted.
And you turned around, for that?

I provided for you,
I protected you,
I held you close,
I wiped your tears,
I cried beside you,
lifted you up,
danced with you,
sat in the gutter with you in my arms.

I held you,
I gave you life, love, protection, truth
I told you you were beautiful,
told you id never leave you,
promised eternity to you.

I spoiled you each morning,
every evening,
and held you through the nights.

We had it all.

And there wasn't any need for sleep
because our dreams were reality.

I would have shattered physics to give you a rainbow,
crushed mountains to shower you in diamonds
or dried up the oceans and make you a waterfall.

But you left me for that?
For nothing?
For someone that doesn't love you.

You turned your head and left me at home
waiting for you,
wondering if you ever really loved me.

And now there's only one thing I have strength enough to say to you:

"Please don't ever forget that I'm still here...
...and I'm still in love with you."

This was posted on my Pastor's blog this week, and it really spoke to my heart. How often do we try to replace Jesus, our DIVINE Spouse, with worldly relationships that always end up breaking our hearts? I love how Jesus never stops pursuing us.

Today, as I long to have a hopeful heart about a relationship with a man I care so deeply about, I pray that if we are meant to be, Christ will be at the center of our relationship first and foremost.
