Day 17: Expect Miracles

My lover is mine, and I am his,
Nightly he strolls in our garden,
Delighting in the flowers
Until dawn breathes its light and night slips away.
~Song of Solomon 2:16

From my heart as inspired by the Holy Spirit:

“My Lord”

There is beauty in the eyes of my Beloved.
There is salve in the tenderness of His call.
There is joy beyond measure in His presence.
He is my all in all.

My longing to be with Him grows deeper
With the dawn of each passing day.
My heart cries: Love, do not tarry
Close beside me I bid You to stay.

In that closeness our spirits engage
In conversation meant only for two.
His words so incredibly stirring
From His love so pure and true.

To breathe in the scent of His being
Enveloped inside His embrace.
An ecstasy no one can fathom
Is to meet Jesus, my Lord, face to face.

His response:
Believe in my word. Trust in my character.
Rest in my presence. Expect miracles!
