Step in Deeper – Hosea 2:14+

“If you could feel My presence in deep and powerful ways moment by moment, would you want that? Would you be willing to do what it takes to get there?

“Because I’m here. Right now. With you. And I love you. I’ve brought you into this desert season to meet with you, to restore your faith and hope, and to bind you to Myself.

“If you are willing to draw near to Me, you will find that intimacy you have been craving with Me. I will mend the gap, and speak into your heart and mind, breathing life, and hope, and joy. I will pour out My love on you in ways you have never known, and you will feel Me. For real. You’ll stop calling Me just “Master” like a servant looks to her King, and you will call Me “Husband,” like a bride who is passionately sealed to the One she loves with all her heart.

“Are you ready for that? Is it something you want? Or are you still afraid? Afraid you won’t be in control of things anymore. Afraid you’ll appear strange to others. Afraid of the persecution that comes to those who truly love Me, just as I also went through persecution, even unto death, because of My love for you.

“So, what will be your choice today? If you want infinitely more of Me, will you take the first step? Into your quiet time. Into My Word. Invite Me into your mind, into your thoughts throughout the day. Openly invite me into your every moment, and ask Me, “Jesus, what are You doing? I want to do that together with You. Empower me. Draw me close. Use me for Your glory. Now, this very moment. Even while I wash dishes. Even while I discipline and teach my children. Even as I work. Even while I relax for a moment. I want to rest in Your arms, go where You’re going, and do what You’re doing. Not because I’m all that. Because I’m not. But because I love You. And You are all I want.”

— to the bride of Christ, from the One Who has loved her since before time began
