SylviaListen to the Word of God for you in Song of Solomon 7:6. "How beautiful you are and how pleasing, O love, with your delights!"

Set your spiritual compass heading to these words of God to you. You are his precious one, and he takes pleasure in you. Be blessed to be enlarged with his deep love. Be blessed with knowing that you delight his heart.

Listen as the Love of your life tells you from the Song of Solomon 4:9-10 that he loves you. "You have ravished my heart, my sister, my bride with one look of your eyes... How fair is your love, my sister, my bride! How much better than wine is your love, and the scent of your perfumes is better than all spices!"

Listen to his words in Song of Solomon 2:11-13. "See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land. The fig tree forms its early fruit; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance. Arise, come, my darling; my beautiful one, come with me, for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely."

You have faithfully endured the hardship of winter. Even in winter months, the earth is not completely dormant. The process of life continues. And now the spring has come. Let go of any fear or unbelief and fully embrace the spring. Rejoice! Sing! Breathe in the fragrance of new life. It is time to put the winter behind and arise in the new abundance that this season has for you.

You are the object of heaven's love. He calls you precious one, his beautiful one. His love for you can never diminish, because he is the eternal I AM. He loves you freely with unchanging love (Hos 14:4). How can you doubt God's love for you? He doesn't give you some of his love; he is love, and he gives you himself (1 John 4:16). You have all of him, so you have all his love at all times. Receive his love, just because you are his. His great love for you is bathed in rich mercy (Mic 7:18; Eph 2:4). What more can God do to prove his love than by giving you his Son in exchange for your life (Gal 2:20; Eph 5:25)? Be blessed in the wonder of such an amazing love story.

Be blessed in the name of the God of love who is with you.
(2 Cor 13:11).
