A Beautiful Mess

You have ravished my heart, my sister, my bride. You have ravished my heart with one of your eyes, With one chain of your neck. How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much better is your love than wine! The fragrance of your perfumes than all manner of spices! Song 4:9 WEB
It is refreshing to see people who are truly in love. When a person first falls in love, they can see nothing but good in the other person. How beautiful, how perfect, oh how smart they are, and if someone tries to warn them about how bad this person really is, they completely ignore it. 'You are wrong! That is impossible!' They may even hit you...
God loves you this way all the time. He does not see your all of your faults and shortcomings. If someone tried to tell Him your how messed up you really are, He does not hear it. He gave His only begotten Son to take away your sins, who washed you with His own blood. We only have to ask for His forgiveness.
Paul wrote 'For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.' (Romans 8:38'39).
If you turn your back and walk away, He would be heartbroken, but He loves you enough to let you go free. You are a beautiful mess to the Lord and He loves every bit of you and nothing that you do is going to change that. His arms are always open.

Thank you Pastor Dion for another wonderful devotional. How amazing to know that God loves us warts and all. Isn't it amazing? I love the verse in Zephaniah 3.17 Where He rejoices over you with singing. You have to love someone a lot to sing over them with joy...Thank you Lord for your wonderful love. Amen
Wow!! A beautiful mess is great when words of love like this come from Jesus. And always at right time..thanks. I felt this was Him speaking at the right moment. I struggle at times thinking in prayer who can I tell about Jesus? Who is close to being harvested? In our neighborhood we sit on corner and have met many as well as conversations with them. I know at an appointed time is when it is to be. I look but feel Abit discourged. This book of Songs is beautiful when someone quotes from it. Sound silly now but have had a difficult time in all past yrs as now to read it. It walks on some unfortunate past territory that I choose to forget or want not to remember. So, I appreciate Dion you using versed like this time for I can receive it. Haveyou ever been in a moment of the love of Jesus where His love is do overwhelming? I feel my heart will burst! Caught. And if I stay too long in the moment it is do physically full that I will pop!! Well I might sound a bit strange for some...but it does happen. To move out of that moment I get up and walk around or something. Blessings to you and Sylvia! PS ..I like her feed back ....I have no close women of God just aquaintences.
