Am I Loved


I am in the process of finishing a book I have been reading, and for right now I’m going to omit the name and the author only because of the innate tendency within us to wow over them both, verses the One they’re pointing to.

I said to my wife in reading this book, it has ‘felt’ as if my Father has been pummeling my heart, blow after loving blow. Now on top of this I sensed him saying it was this pummeling he was doing that was needed to begin to break up the
fallow ground of my heart in light of that which was about to spring forth.
I don’t want to sound melodramatic; especially the only verse in the Scriptures that rang true with my spirit regarding the 'fallow ground' thing, was the one from Hosea 10:12 which you can read in the link I provided.
All I know is of late once again I have been going through a severe and tumultuous sifting. There have been times feeling like I was going to explode, as if my skin (earth suite) was way too tight/small for me.

Like a deer caught unexpectedly in the head lights of an on coming car in the thick darkness of night, I feel much the same being unexpectedly caught in the light of His loving gaze probing into the depths of my being. I eagerly and yet patiently wait on His loving advances.

In the midst of this inner turmoil and distress I have sensed His closeness and this video clip points to that which I cannot put into words regarding His love for me.
