IT IS ALL ABOUT JESUS - Song of Songs 3:1 & 2

"All night long on my bed I looked for the One my heart loves; I looked for Him but did not find Him. I will get up now and go about the city, throught its streets and squares; I will search for the One my heart loves."

Precious people of God, God has a message for us all today. As I began to pray in the prayer language and seek the leading of the Lord, He drew me to this passage of Scripture. He filled my heart with the urgency for His Bride to seek Him and really meet with Him. I felt His heart's grief as He calls to His bride to come and find joy in His presence, the pure and perfect joy of Heaven, but few seek Him for the sheer glory and awesome beauty of who He is. Even many of those faithful ones who call on His name, come to Him with a list and an agenda. The King of the universe, the Lord of Glory is calling to us today - He says "Come. Come to Me. Your rest is in My presence. Your peace is from being as one with Me. Your joy is when you understand the beating of My heart. It is only then that you will know the completeness of fulfilment in Me. It is only then that you will know complete faith, complete trust that I will overcome all the difficulties and challenges you face. Your enemy the Accuser has tried to destroy you but if you draw near to Me, my presence will be your victory, for in repentance and rest is your salvation. I am your Lord who teaches you what is best for you. I will direct you in the way you should go. If only you had paid attention to my commands and sought my face, your peace would have been like a river, your righteousness like the waves of the sea. But come to Me. As you seek Me you will see that every need you ever had is met in Me. Every prayer you ever prayed is complete in Me. I am the Everlasting, the beginning and the end - your wholeness and your victory is in Me. Seek me and you will find me as you seek me with all of your heart....."

What can we learn from the young lady in today's Scripture from the Song of Songs?

1) All night she sought the one she loved. She waited for him. David wrote in Psalm 42, verses 1 & 2: "As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? This was the longing in the heart of the bride who waited for her bridegroom and her lover. Her heart was thirsty; her very being was consumed with the loving longing to be with him. Nothing else could satisfy her; no one else could take his place. She knew the purest pleasure there was in His presence, and that is what her aching heart cried out for. This is the heart that Jesus seeks as His eyes wander to and fro across the world. He seeks the heart that is sold out for Him. A bride who loves Him more than any other. A bride who will say: "Yes, I am ready to pick up my cross and follow You to the ends of the earth. Whatever You ask of me, I lay down at Your feet - my very life is as of nothing to me if I cannot feel your embrace....
