A girl on a quest for God. She is seeking, she is searching. She longs for Him to hold her close. To whisper into her ears. She feels she has to wait. Wait out this barren season. Wait until she is out of the wilderness. She doesn't know He is right there. He is always present. She sees herself as weak. She believes she doesn't have the strength to press on. God is always with her. He will help her at break of day. He longs to be gracious to her. He rises to show her compassion. He sees into the depth of her heart and He likes it. He enjoys it. He sees strength where she sees weakness. Where she has lost hope He sees beauty. He presses deep inside of her, even deeper than she thinks He can go. He does. He is right beside her. So near, so intimate. He delights in her heart. He thinks she is beautiful. He says she can. He sees strength. He sees the span of her life and knows it will all be worth it. He sees how it is going to play out and knows she will be so delighted in the places He is taking her. He knows the deep desires of her heart that she doesn't even know how to express or even think they are valid. He sees them and says yes. Come to me. He likes what He sees. For He created her to be this way. He sees her uniqueness because he created it for His glory and His good purpose. He does not tire of hearing her voice. He does not tire in understanding her. Of sending people her way to show her his love. Oh, precious daughter, there is no flaw in you. Do not despise what I have created in you. It is good, it is for my glory. Beloved, you are precious and honored in my sight. I give men in exchange for your life. That deep longing you have for me, I say yes and amen. Imagine how I feel for you. Hold on, I will show you. The sun will find you. I will bring you into open and spacious lands. Hold on tight my love. I will deliver you because I delight in showing you mercy. It is good. It is good. You're doing great. Come Lord, Jesus.
