Ok, wow! so, i've not been on here in a while. I will, however, try to keep up again. and thanks john for letting me know i was behind.
So, i've gotten to see that GOD Really Loves us! for real! that's not some cliche or nice saying, or something i hope is real. I know it! and i will prove it with Scripture!
" 1 How beautiful you are, my darling!
Oh, how beautiful!
Your eyes behind your veil are doves.
Your hair is like a flock of goats descending from Mount Gilead.
2 Your teeth are like a flock of sheep just shorn,
coming up from the washing.
Each has its twin;
not one of them is alone.
3 Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon'
your mouth is lovely.
Your temples behind your veil
are like the halves of a pomegranate.
4 Your neck is like the tower of David,
built with elegance;
on it hang a thousand shields,
all of them shields of warriors.
5 Your two breasts are like two fawns,
like twin fawns of a gazelle
that browse among the lilies.
6 Until the day breaks and the shadows flee,
I will go to the mountain of myrrh
and to the hill of incense.
7 All beautiful you are, my darling;
there is no flaw in you.
8 Come with me from Lebanon, my bride,
come with me from Lebanon.
Descend from the crest of Amana,
from the top of Senir, the summit of Hermon,
from the lions' dens
and the mountain haunts of the leopards.
9 You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride;
you have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes,
with one jewel of your necklace.
10 How delightful is your love, my sister, my bride!
How much more pleasing is your love than wine,
and the fragrance of your perfume than any spice!
11 Your lips drop sweetness as the honeycomb, my bride;
milk and honey are under your tongue.
The fragrance of your garments is like that of Lebanon.
12 You are a garden locked up, my sister, my bride;
you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain.
13 Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates
with choice fruits,
with henna and nard,
14 nard and saffron,
calamus and cinnamon,
with every kind of incense tree,
with myrrh and aloes
and all the finest spices.
15 You are a garden fountain,
a well of flowing water
streaming down from Lebanon.
How intense is that!!!! HE Loves us so much, that is what HE thinks toward us! Take another look at verse 9!
"You have stolen my heart
with one glance of your eyes,"
One translation says "You have ravished my heart
with one glance of your eyes,"
And HE even goes on to say, that HE sees NO Spot on us! Nothing unclean! HE Loves us! Get that in your mind, that is something that will help with EVERYTHING in life!!!!!!!

Another thing The LORD has brought to my attention is how i read The BIBLE!
Like in Isaiah 1 GOD says, "Take your evil deeds out of my sight!" i don't think that GOD is saying this fully out of frustration and anger, i also deeply believe that HE is saying this out of a hurt heart. what if we read it like a lover who has put everything on the table, and is crying for you to come back? try to read it that way. because GOD Will bring correction, but HE doesn't want to. Like when my parents told me that it was going to hurt them more to punish me when i was younger, "this is going to hurt me more than it is going to hurt you" and this is true! HE would rather be with you, and HE knows what it will take to get you to that place. HE also knows what is best and will bring you through what you most go through, but HE WILL NEVER EVER EVER EVER Leave you!!! Psalm 23:4 The reason i will fear no evil when i am in my darkest places, is because YOU ARE WITH ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and i am not saying this out of a place where i used to be a long time ago, i am still, yes, even in this day, learning to lean on HIM and to trust HIM. It's not fun, but i can already see where it is helping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So that's the best! What if a child turned around and told their parents that they understood why they were being punished and thanked them!? NOT EVERY HARD THING YOU GO THROUGH IS PUNISHMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT think that! sometimes we do, but the analogy is to put things in perspective for you. Have a great day. :)

i love song of solomon. if nothing else, we need to find a way to wrap our minds around the love Jesus has for us and to find our identities in the love of Christ. first, in the way that He loves us and second, in the way that we love Him
