SONG OF SONGS 3:4
Scarcely had I passed them,
when I found him whom my soul loves.
I held him, and would not let him go
until I brought him into my mother’s house,
and into the chamber of her that conceived me.
---- mine,
Leave the world behind. Leave all that troubles you and disturbs your soul behind. Come away into the silent secret recesses of your heart that place where I AM enthroned and no one has access to but I. This place that you reserve for your God alone and no other. But do not leave Me there alone. Come to Me frequently. I long to have you keep me company. Do not get so lost in the troubles, pleasures, and pastimes of the world, so absorbed in them that you forget that I AM waiting for you, longing for you, hoping that you will remember that I AM here alone. You call Me the Bridegroom of your soul, Spouse, Redeemer, Savior, and Friend, and yes, I AM all these things but what I desire above all is your company. So many in the world have forgotten Me, do not know Me, ignore Me, and are indifferent to Me. Do not be like those who remember Me only when they seek favors and turn away from Me once they receive what they have pleaded for, fasted and prayed for, shed copious tears to receive but having received what they so ardently desired they return to the world, to their old ways, and forget Me until the next time they need a favor. Do not be like them, ---- my own. Stay with Me. Delight in Me. Ask and you will receive all even to the half of My Kingdom and remain in My as I desire to remain in yours.
