how deep is your love?

God has written the Romance not only on our hearts but all over the world around us. What we need is for Him to open up ears that we might recognize His voice calling to us, see his hand wooing us in the beauty that quickens our hearts.



Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you
Stronger than any mountain cathedral
Truer than any tree ever grew
Deeper than any forest primeral
I am in love with you
-Dan Forgelberg, "Longer"

What were the things that romanced your heart as a little girl?
Was it horses in a field? Was it the fragrance in the air after a rain? Was is a favourite book like Sweet Valley? The first snowfall of winter (oops...doesnt apply to us does it?) Those were all whispers from your Lover, notes sent to awaken your hearts longings. And as were journey into a ture intimacy with God as women, he often brings those things back into our lives, to remind us he was there, to heal and restore things that we're lost and stolen.
