lovers.

one woman in the Bible i often draw back to and find truth within - is the woman at the well. her desperation. her heartache. her reaction to Christ love.

today in church the pastor made another interesting parallel to the same story. talking about how we are a generation with too many lovers. too many loves in our lives - just like the woman at the well who had had five husbands and was not even married to the man she was currently with.

loves.
people. time. events. they can all become our loves before and over Christ.
but Christ wants to be the only lover of our hearts.
He is jealous to embrace all of who we are.
for we are His.

truth was found in the words, 'it's not about you desiring Him - it's more about you recognizing Christ desperate cry over you - His deep desire to have all of you - and allowing yourself to be loved by Him. for He is in love with you.'

and in those words - i found freedom.
freedom from disappointment.
freedom from rejection.
freedom from pain and hurt.
freedom from guilt.

freedom found by losing myself in finding Him.
