is it possible to be romanced by God?

I know this isn't much help, but someone please answer this I have been wondering this exact same thing !

Yes, He does woo us. I'm the bride of Christ, and I love Him!

Just a few songs that really make me feel embraced in His Love.

Just an quick observation:
the passages that sound ''romantic or intimate'' from God are usually in the Old Testament (Israel/ Jews).
In the New Testament it is Father for individual Christians. Bride of Christ is the Church. What Does the Bible Say About The Bride Of Christ?

I have been romanced by Jesus for years. Read the Song of Solomen. I've written a book about the one-on-one relationship between us and Jesus.

It is truly a passionate love story. When we join with Christ, we are made one flesh, just as a man and woman are in marriage - we are the body of Christ. He paid a very dear price as a bride-price - His very lifeblood. When we come to Jesus, we approach Him naked, defenseless, giving Him all rights to our lives and our bodies. As His Spirit comes to make His home in us, He gives us new life, a new joy, and life begins to grow inside us. Hopefully, this new life in us will influence others, and we will, with the help of our spiritual Spouse, create a new baby Christian when someone we've discipled comes to believe.

I love Jesus with a passion that totally gulfs any emotion I've ever had with anyone - including my husband and children. But His vastly enormous love for me, growing in me, has enabled me to love my family even more.

I know people have trouble with the whole sex thing when comparing our relationship with Jesus to relationships here. But the way I see it, the passion of being Jesus' bride makes physical sex seem like a handshake in comparison.

I have found that yes it is definitely possible to be romanced by Jesus!
In my life He initiated this as soon as I was born again. From the start, as a teenager whenever I heard a love song on the radio I would sing it to Him. It was just a natural thing. Now I am a middle aged grandmother and a wife and He has only increased our relationship in this way. He is my forever Bridegroom and Husband and I love Him so much!!!


Be assured that if you feel drawn towards Him in this way it is HIS doing!

I don't know if you are familiar with David Wilkerson....he was a very godly man, preached the Bible for decades. He was also the author of the book The Cross And The Switchblade.

Anyway, here is a link to a wonderful message about this very subject..being Jesus' Bride. It made a huge impact on my life and I carry a copy of it in my Bible always. I hope you will read it, I know it will bless you and help clarify things for you!!

Here is a song someone sent me when I needed it. I hope it will bless you the way it did for me. Jesus singing to you~

*bump* Musician, are you still around?

Only fallen, sinful minds would turn this into something detestable.

but yes to answer your question. I believe it's the best relationship out there.

sometimes I think the kind of relationships a human wife and husband has is more like idolatry. they appear to love their partner more than they show affection towards God, but we are all at different stages of growth and I am sure each world will be unique. many of my old perceptions about what things mean are dying and being born in a new light that comes from God.

i honestly can't comprehend some music according to human comprehension, it just makes more sense for it to be about me and Gods relationship. and the more people resist and oppose me, the more I believe that, yes this is the narrow path. but behind me is certainly a wasteland.

but i desire something that i don't at all comprehend. this feeling is so hard to explain. i'm seeking for something that is to come and I wait on God to explain it to me. I want God much much more than any kind of human understanding or relationship could ever hope to portray and the vastness of this place that i'm at is so hard to speak about and I know that God has so much more prepared for all of us. and I really hate when I get in the way between me and God. and to think that I can't outdo God is nice, He is always so much more good and loving to me than I can ever be to Him.

it is a dangerous path to let go of everything in an attempt to be with God but I would say that the risk and dangers of the path I have been walking are worth it if I may taste His sweetness. i'm a failure and I sure am happy that God will cure me and I know i'm nothing and i hope the Lord will all the more be with me because i'm already in hell if I can't be with God and I certainly want to dash myself to pieces if I can't be one thing with God and be free of everything holding me back. and I have no need for human strength or reasoning because it is of the earth. I prefer to end up in a mental ward rather than settle for being a dead carbon copy that has no real spirituality.

be with God as much as you can, in all kinds of ways, because God is the one who matters.

Here we are again Musician4Jesus! I promise that I'm not stalking you. I opened this forum and was drawn to your threads for some reason. This subject is near and dear to my heart.

I have to explain some of my background. God saved me about 20 years ago. For many years He was everything to me. You could say that I "tasted the things of heaven." Then one night, he said to me plainly, "Go home." For many years after that He felt far from me. Prayer was like talking to the air. I never doubted my salvation, but the close daily relationship we had was no longer there.

In Feb. of 2013 the Spirit began to woo me, mostly through music. I would listen to a (non-christian) song that I really like and He would say to me, "I'm better than that, you know!" That was the beginning of the restoration of His presence in my daily life.

He has shown me now that this desert period was necessary for me to come to the end of my Self. To finally understand that I can do nothing in my own power. Trying to do anything without Him is death, plain and simple.

What a joy to be wooed by God! Today I would rather die than be without His presence.

This was a great blessing. I've saved it. Thank you.

I am so glad. His teaching was the first thing really that let me know that yes, this was okay....much more than okay, it is God's idea in the first place!

Thank you for what you shared, it is helpful to me. I am in that place right now of seeing how truly I can do no thing apart from Him. Not by might, not by power, but by My Spirit says the Lord. Amen.
