I remember sitting in a room filled with hundreds of others my age, adults sprinkled throughout the seats around us. My face down, doodling to help me attempt to focus on what was going on. Sometimes the doodling helps, sometimes it's my escape. At that moment, deep into my escape of some elaborate thought racing through my mind-- my concentration was pierced.
"God is wanting to romance you."
More than my concentration broke.
My eyes jerked from the page to the man on stage.
My heart froze in that moment.
Did he really just say what I've been waiting for for so long?
For a girl that struggled (as so many of us do) with the desire to be loved, someone was already loving me. He wanted more than my vague interest, He wanted to be my hearts' desire. He wanted my every thought, every breathe, everything to beat in sync with His romancing of me.
My friend, Lauren (fondly referred to as E-Lauren), reminded me of some encouragement I had once left for her.
"The LORD is near to the brokenhearted..." ~Psalm 34:18
It definitely helps to mend the heart to be reminded that He is near and desperately wanting to romance us.
I hope you have the chance today to break away from whatever you may have become consumed with to realize, Someone is waiting to romance you.
simply,
ME
