Love Story

She is confused, but he see's through her confusion. Her hair is a mess, but he see's her potential for beauty. She is rejected by false lovers who only really love themselves, but he loves her unconditionally with a true interest in her. She is poor, but he has wealth untold. She comes from a family that has a bad reputation, his reputation is flawless. She is feeble and sickly, his health and strength know no equal. She is ignorant and unlearned, he is a teacher. She lives in a poor neighborhood, he has houses and lands and good servants who love him.

She, is you and He, is the Lord Jesus! He has proposed to you, you will accept his proposal and because he first loved you, you will love him with all your heart, soul, mind and strength.

Joh 15:9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

Re 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Song 5:2 I slept, but my heart was awake. Hark! my beloved is knocking. "Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my perfect one; for my head is wet with dew, my locks with the drops of the night."
3 I had put off my garment, how could I put it on? I had bathed my feet, how could I soil them?
4 My beloved put his hand to the latch, and my heart was thrilled within me.
5 I arose to open to my beloved, and my hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with liquid myrrh, upon the handles of the bolt.
6 I opened to my beloved...

In this account, she heard him knocking but she waited too long. Her hesitation caused her to miss a blessing. I encourage you to listen diligently and be ready to open your soul to Him whenever He knocks. Receive Him unconditionally, surrender to His will. Know Him. He is your lover.
