My Beloved

“Listen! My Beloved! Behold He is coming, climbing on mountains, leaping on the hills! My Beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag.”
He is coming for me. There is joy in His steps. His steps are so light because He is filled with such love for me.
“Behold, He is standing behind our wall. He is looking through the windows, He is peering through the lattice.”
The wall I built. He is looking through. He is looking through to see the real me. I so desire someone to see the real me and still love me. That’s Him. My Beloved. (I saw a small window in a wall and He was peering in at me.) I asked Him if He would still love me the same if He could see all of me. The real me. And this is what He said:
“Arise My darling, My beautiful one and come along.”
When I looked, my wall was only three feet high. He was taking it down as I asked. Except, I was still afraid to stand up. When I saw this and heard Him say, “Arise My love, My beautiful one and come along” I took a chance and arose. Then I was reminded of the words of King David who must have been through the same thing, because he wrote,
“For by Thee I have run through a troop; by my God I leaped over a wall.”
So I will run through the troop of nay-sayers and thoughts of condemnation and rejection and fear, and I, by my God, with His hand holding tight to mine, will leap over this wall and will, as He says, “Come along.”
For it was for freedom that Christ set me free. And I must keep standing, standing firm, and not be subject again to the yoke of slavery.
For as I heard Him say to me,
“Behold, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone (the torrential, overwhelming rain is over and the flooding is gone). The flowers have already appeared in the land (so let’s enjoy them together you and I). The time has arrived for singing, and the voice of turtledoves has been heard in our land. The fig tree has ripened its figs, the vines in blossom have given forth their fragrance. Arise My darling, My beautiful one and come along.”
This was written with my hand but through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit one morning while I was attending a dance conference. This word comes from the Song of Solomon chapter 2 beginning in verse 8. This was so real to me. When I began writing this there was so much love and so much joy in what I saw and heard.
Jesus is My Beloved. He is the one that is calling to me and to you. He wants us to come along. Not to stand still so that we grow stagnant and lose hope, but to come along and enjoy the things that He has prepared for each and every one of us.
When I said “I so desire for someone to see the real me and still love me”, that part is so true in my life. This was something new to me, something that I did not recognize until the Holy Spirit revealed it to me. I had been hiding for so long that no one really knew the real me… not even me.
What I want you to get from this is that you, dear one, are loved. You are dearly loved by the Creator of the universe, by YOUR Creator. He not only created everything that you see, but He also created you, and He loves you so passionately. The other thing that I want you to get from this is that He is safe. There is no need to fear. I have found this to be true in my own life. I have had do step out from behind my own self-built walls to let myself be seen by the light, and when I did, I was safe. I was not harmed or shamed in any way. There was only love, and peace. I am still working on staying out from behind some of these walls that I built. They still stand only 3 feet tall, but I have to stay out from behind them even though they are familiar, because they are far from my Beloved who desires to love me and to be my safety.
Will you let Him love you today, and rest in His love? The name of the Lord is a strong tower. The righteous runs into it and is SAFE.
