My Bride, My Lovely
by Bonnie Freed Softly and sweetly I come to you. You are as lilies among the thorns. I walk among you, my lilies and I am caring for you as a lover cares for his bride. I no longer have to woo you as I did in the beginning, for we are now entwined as one. Our hearts beat together and that heartbeat we share will begin to manifest now. I am a lily among the thorns. I long for my creation to come forth. I grieve when I come to you and you know me not. When will you seek me, when will you reach out and touch me. I long for you to touch Me, My heart, My heartbeat. I come, but you know me not. I walk as a lily among the thorns, as a voice crying out in the wilderness. Beloved come, come. Let me wrap my arms of love around you and heal your wounds. You have many scars and wounds. But you do not want the healer. And some even love their wounds more than Me. Because I want to remove those things that hinder and bind, remove shackles and set the prisoners free. That is the LONGING of my heart -- as a mother for her unborn child. When your heart touches mine a flame is ignited. And that flame causes my heart to enlarge. And my heartbeat can be heard far and wide and people will be drawn to my heartbeat. And those that come will say "Have you seen Him? Have you seen my beloved? " They will know by your great love for Me that you have not turned away from me...and I love you! I was asleep but for a moment and you woke me. You stirred my very heart. My details I believe the thorns could be the unbeliever, but also the cares of this world in the heart of the believer. I saw Jesus one time at a business men's meeting. He was walking among the people during worship. He was trying to embrace some, and for others, he was washing their feet. And others he was trying to embrace - but they had no idea or sense that He was there. He just slowly walked among us, and my sense was He was so grieved people were too busy with the cares of this life to even notice or sense He was there.

But the Lord is referred to in scripture as the lily of the field, bright morning star Thorns: The cursed earth. I went to college at Pacific Lutheran University and focused on creative writing, Art and English. This is where I began to develop my voice in writing. Since that time, I've written various articles but have not published. http://writingforfunandprofit.wordpress.com/ Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
