Oh beloved little one. I have arrayed you with the flowers of the fragrance of Christ, and the wind of my Spirit blows over those flowers to spread that fragrance where He will. Hold tight to me, abide in me, and I will cause you to exude the aroma of Myself to all who come near you.

Oh my beautiful lamb, I have made you without flaw or blemish for your good and my glory. Find your worth in Me, for you are a creature of infinite value. Also find your rest in Me as I carry you next to My heart. Feel your weight relaxing into the strength of My everlasting arms, arms that will never, no never, let you go. Be still with me in that safe place.

I have deep, tender affection for you like a child has for a beloved pet. I died to have your company; come and feast on the banquet I have prepared for us. I delight in you; delight yourself in Me. I am with you, even to the end of the age.

Oh my precious little one. You have feared me in a way that is not wholesome and pulled away from me like the sinful man with his talent.  Return to me my beloved with all your heart, all your mind, all your soul, and all your strength. I am your handsome Husband, standing with open arms and tender love awaiting your return. I will pursue you like Hosea even though you forsake me for other lovers until our love is undefiled and complete. My heart is tender and soft toward you. I feel your pain and sorrows. I died for them. Come to me and I will make you whole and we will delight in one another for all eternity!

I, Jesus, see your wounds and I come to you like the Good Samaritan came to the one who had been robbed and beaten, afraid and stripped of self-esteem. Religious people have added to your wounds and passed you by, but I have seen and had compassion on you and stopped. I am pouring Oil and Wine on your wounds and binding them up. Flee the things of earth that will burn like stubble, and indulge yourself in my presence that is as the richest of foods to your soul (Psalm 63:5). Gorge yourself on my Word, and I will reveal my glory of greater pleasure than all the delights of this world. I do not want a religious checklist from you. What I want is for you to love me with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. You are so beautiful to me, my beloved. Come with me!
