Loved with everlasting love

While reading the words of the hymn, the Spirit took me way back to when I was born again. I recall thinking I was going insane, for the sky indeed looked bluer than ever before and colours were more vibrant. Sadly I walked away for a number of years, I simply couldn't handle it. Mercifully the Lord brought me back.

I am His and He is Mine

Strangers and Pilgrims Here Below

Weary with My Load of Sin.

One of his poems, The Disciple (by G. W. Robinson), Loveland and Other Poems reads this way:

O it is sweet here at Thy feet,

Sitting like children Thy wisdom to learn,

Watching that face perfect in grace,

Feeling our hearts in an ecstasy burn.

Earth with her eyes lofty and wise

Passes us by with a scorn in her looks;

We are but fools, hers are the schools,

Hers is the wisdom of sages and books.

O it is sweet here at Thy feet,

Drinking that wisdom which comes from above,

Seeing all night flee from Thy light,

Phantom philosophies vanish at Love.

Lo, it is dawn! darkness is gone!

How the land stretches in brightness away!

Still do men bare tapers with care,

Day is around, and they see not the day,

O it is sweet here they feet,

O it is sweet, and is pitiful, too!

Were they but wise! had they but eyes

Only to see that Creation is new!

Now we are filled, now we are stilled,

Past is the fainting and hushed is the strife,

Truth has her sphere, Christ, in Thy tear,

Love is the ocean, a river is Life.

Oh, it is sweet here at Thy Feet—

Here at Thy feet, for Thy wisdom is Thou;

Master divine, are we not Thine?

Wilt Thou not ever be with us now?

Good to enjoy with our sister! One body! One spirit!

"God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord." (1 Corinthians 1:9) Recovery Version

"In a love that cannot cease"

For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

Psalm 103:11 KJV

I am just realizing the lengths at which he loves me with an everlasting love.

“I am my beloved’s and his desire is toward me” ☺️

I am His, and He is mine!!!

I am His! And He is mine!

I am His and He is mine

Thank You Lord that I’m yours and You are mine!

As I was praying in the Spirit this song began to echo forth. I enjoyed singing it to the Father in this time of togetherness in prayer and communing. I have loved the thought from Song of Solomon 6:3, I am my beloved and my beloved is mine... amen and amen
