My Heart Burns

My heart burns with longing for the ones I have made. I made them like Me. They carry My image and hold My heart. I long for them as a father longs for his child. I did not make man to be My servant; I have angels that fulfil My bidding and serve My will. I made man for love. Out of the heart and unity of love, that exists within God, came this image of us. We birthed you into the earth, longing for you to yearn for Us, just as We yearn for you.

My heart burns with longing for My redeemed ones. They have said yes to My plan of redemption, and I have gladly and willingly paid the price for all their sins. Yet they are like foolish children squabbling at play. They are unaware of the dimension of love that I have called them to and destined them for. They are My queen. They carry a royal beauty, but they squabble over position and possessions. They play in the dirt, then try to rearrange their garments with muddy little hands. Oh, that they would hear the yearning of My heart. Oh, that they would simply stand in My provision of mercy and grace, and look towards the One, who longs for them. 

You do not need to earn My love – you already have it. You do not need to serve My kingdom and fulfil My plan – it will succeed with or without you. All I ask and all I long for, is the affection of the Bride I paid for. I will provide and I will care but only you can determine the affection of your heart. It is your choice, for I gave it to you. 

You have no idea how my heart is undone by one glimpse of your eyes. One look in My direction sets My heart aflame. I burn with love for you. Do not squander such love. Look to Me and be radiant in the love that I have for you.
