The day True Love found me

One day you will discover that no number or combination of words could ever describe true love’s first touch. This is no physical touch, this is a consuming, fiery yet gentle touch. The combination is mesmerizing, absolutely intoxicating. I can only describe the experience as finally arriving at my destination after decades of confusing and weary travelling. It was liberating, completing, breathtaking.

I envied people who had that with Him, people who could go into their secret place and just be filled with the beautiful, peaceful, healing intimacy of the Most High God. A love that consumes you with reckless abandon. And then I found Him.

I didn’t bump into him, actually, I sought after Him but somehow my efforts were sabotaged. I went two steps forward and four steps backwards. My attempts just weren’t consistent enough, and even times I tried to focus, it felt like I had a secret enemy lurking in the dark. An enemy that knew me all too well and could get me in a twist with a strong rope made of my innermost weaknesses.

I was thirsty and no physical or emotional juice could wet my parched heart. Song of Songs 3: 2,4 perfectly describes it:

…Night after night, I dreamed of the one I love;

I was looking for Him, but couldn’t find Him.

I went wandering through the city,

Through its streets and alleys.

I looked for the one I love.

I looked, but couldn’t find Him.

Imagine my joy when at last I found Him, Yes!

…I found Him! I held Him and wouldn’t let go.

My spirit was on fire. Ignited. My lips had a new language, one I hadn’t learnt from my mother, one that was alien to my father. An Unstoppable outpour of pure Joy.

I found myself at last. I was finally home, in the arms of my True Love.

Jesus Christ is real. His love is pure and Joyful. His peace defies understanding and the courage He gives cannot be explained.

I’m not searching for my True Love in futility anymore, he was never far away, and He was always here waiting. My heart is no longer tired nor parched. I’ve found Him. I found my True Love.

This blog is about my past and present journey, and the way I see and interpret The Bibles’ best stories of His redeeming love.
