Who is this coming out of the wilderness cleaving to her beloved?
Song of Solomon 8:5
You are the One my heart is after. Nothing. Nothing else matters. I have You. You are the treasure. I want to see, to lay hold of every promise. When I found Him whom my soul loves, I held onto Him and would not let Him go (Song of Solomon 3:4)
Forty years. Forty years of learning what not to do. Forty years of armory and training, picking up the wilderness weapons to now impart to you. Yet in all the struggle, the hardship, and the losses, I have learned the wilderness is not the circumstances, it is life without Christ.
It is in only finding Him that my wilderness comes to it’s completion. Life in Christ is fulfillment, wholeness…home. It feels like I’m standing on the threshold of the Promise Land right before entering in. Looking out into the abyss seeing all the wonder yet looking back into the wilderness seeing the great harvest of souls God is yearning for to bring them too out of the wilderness into His kingdom, into His family, into his heart ❤️
I made up my mind, I’m going back. Without my husband and my family, I’m just a stranger in a strange land. If I’m free, they should be too.
