I will rise now, and go
about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my
soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not. The watchmen that go about the
city found me: to whom I said, Saw ye
him whom my soul loveth? It was but a
little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held
him, and would not let him go………………………………… (Son 3:2-4
KJV)
Every time I see him my heart skips a beat, my palms begin
to sweat and the smile on my face is so bright it can light a stadium. I seldom
look into his eyes, not because I am shy but because the intensity of his
loving gaze seems more than my mind can contain. Could a man love a woman this
much? Many times when I am alone I wonder aloud, ‘can there be a greater love
than this?’
In all things however, it is our fellowship with one another
that I love the most. By fellowship I refer to time together spent talking,
walking, holding hands, feeding on the uniqueness of each other’s celestial and
terrestrial beauty, having intercourse or simply enjoying the tranquility in
silently gazing at nature’s beauty.
Please do not imagine that this relationship is all about me.
It is true that I cannot equivocally say that I love him like he loves me but I
keep trying. You see, it seems as if all
he needs from me is to have the right attitude to his love towards me. I see
him smile when I respond to his words and his touch. It is obvious his delight
emanates from my positive response to his love for me.
I look forward always to his speaking to me, talking with me
or instructions for me. I delight in the wisdom in his words and the now
expected positive result from heeding his instructions. Well, many of the
female specie would frown at my dependence on him and fascination with who he
is. But, day after day, week after week, month after month and year after year,
the more I depend on him the better my relationship with him becomes. The
interesting thing is; the benefits of our relationship supersedes the two of us,
it brings the best out of my relationship with others and more importantly I
feel whole in my body, soul and spirit.
This is my story; the story of a lover and the one he loves.
I know you want to know more about me but I don’t think you need to. Anyway,
let me at least intimate you with my name and the name of my lover.
My name is ‘Christian’ and my lover’s name is Jesus.
God is faithful (reliable,
trustworthy, and therefore ever true to His promise, and He can be depended
on); by Him you were called into companionship and participation with His Son,
Jesus Christ our Lord. (1Co 1:9 AMP)
God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the
fellowship [Greek; koinonia: participation, communion, fellowship, intercourse]
of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. (1Co 1:9 KJV)
