Dear Friends... Sorry that I have not been on lately my friends. I will try to be on more often soon. Well...anyways I wrote this a few days ago. May God speak to you through it. ~Jeremy
Intimacy With the Savior
I am listening to a song that I have not heard in a long time. The music causes me to close my eyes and to reflect back upon those nights that once were so intimate and delicate with my Savior. Evenings where candlelight would illuminate the paper before me as I wrote sweet love songs to my first love. Yes, I remember nights of passion in a spiritual sense. I wrote a poem back then, one that I could not remember for the longest of time; however today the Spirit of the Lord began to refresh my memory.
Soft music is on
The candles are lit I can feel Your presence As You enter into the room You reach your arms around me I turn to glance Your way You tell me that You love me And all that I can say Is that I love You too
My friends, today I want to thank God for those nights of intimacy with my Savior. For it was in those nights that He drew me closer than I have ever been. Since those days, as I grew older, my heart grew colder. Through the trials and temptations of life, my eyes lost sight of the true love that was right in front of me. I began to walk in darkness and allowed the bitter wind of hate to blow out the candles and to shut off the music. No longer did I write words filled with romance and passion, but now I wrote nothing at all. I grew silent and in my silence my love for my Savior began to wither as a dying rose.
However my friends, I can praise God today that He rekindles the dying embers of our hearts. For when it seems that winter has taken toll and the spark is about out, He will breathe a breath of life on that glowing ember causing it to burst out in fire again. For the hearts that are willing and longing for God, He can do things that you can not even imagine. He will take you on a journey of love that words can not even describe.
Passionately Written,
Jeremy Daniel Crouch
