I am my Beloved's, and my Beloved is mine!

"I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." (Romans 12:1-2 ESV)

This is reasonable, since all things belong to God. Our material possessions, our wealth, the very breath that we breathe, all come from God. How much more should we present ourselves, completely and willingly, now that He has bought us and redeemed us with His precious blood! And why would our Lord save us from our sins? To bring glory to Himself by loving us with an infinite love, in order that we may have the capacity to love Him and walk intimately with Him...

"That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height-- to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God." (Ephesians 3:16-19 NKJV)

Oh how foolish it is to desire anything less than being filled with the fullness of God. The mystery that was hidden through the ages is now revealed in Jesus Christ. The invitation has been given, the door is open, and all who desire to walk intimately with Him will have their fill. Live and be satisfied!

I am my Beloved's, and my Beloved is mine!
(Song of Solomon 6:3)
