Week Three

Hello, Devoted Girls. I’m over half way through the book. Amazing things are happening as I have opened my heart to my Pursuer. I told a friend the other day, if I’d known when Jesus walks back through your wounds with you it doesn’t hurt as bad as the first time, I would have done it years ago. I think many of us have memories continuing to flash across our minds and we’re rebuking the enemy instead of realizing God is whispering, “Can I come in and heal this?” I’m excited about recognizing the ways He’s been talking to me and drawing me. I’m hearing Him speak to me throughout the day, because the things that have caused His voice to be distorted for so long are being removed.

There’s a movie where the star talks about how the man of her dreams will know her. He’ll know she always wants extra dressing and how to create the ‘perfect bite’. I can still see her (because I have it on DVD) placing each perfectly sized piece of lettuce, carrot, radish, celery, olive (or whatever) on her fork to make the ‘perfect bite’. When ‘he’ comes he tells how fascinating he finds her and how he loves the way she meticulously creates the ‘perfect bite’. This is a glimpse into God’s perspective of us. We fascinate Him. He appreciates everything about us, especially the things no one else notices. He is enamored with us-inflamed with love and captivated by our uniqueness. May you open your heart to Him today and allow Him to heal your deepest places. He is waiting for you.
