Musings
I've had a really good day. I felt a calmness wash over me last night and it remained. It's a different energy. Like nestling under the cover or curling up on the sofa. There's a cozy ebb accompanying the peace I feel.
I had an opportunity to talk to @cara-mia and share my heart and she did the same. I complimented her on a quality she possesses that mimics my loved ones. My happiness is the bottom line. Even if it calls for a little selfishness to bring it about. I'll contemplate fairness and sacrifice myself if necessary. But she doesn't let me do it. She's my advocate. The silent whisper that says, "consider yourself for once." I love her for it.
There's many voices in the world. People weigh in and give suggestions. Once you've committed to a path you need to walk it out. Saying yes to some things requires us to say no to others. Even if it doesn't make sense. You can't be tossed and turned or back and forth. You need to set a course and follow it.
One of the lessons the Lord is emphasizing presently is keeping my eye on the prize. The main thing I'm seeking. If that's agape, anything outside of it isn't worth pursuing. Recent experiences reinforce the theme.
This is what it looks like. This is what it means when someone loves and cares. It's more than words. He's taking pains to show the difference so I'm not deceived by the counterfeit. The one with the grand words and gestures. It sounds pretty. But its nothing more than cotton candy. All fluff and no substance. It would never go anywhere.
Sometimes the obvious choice isn't the right one. It isn't God's best. Its convenient. But waiting yields something better. A holy fit. The result may surprise you. Maybe it isn't your first choice or anyone you'd consider. But they have everything you need.
One of the tell-tale signs for me is femininity. Does he ignite it? Do I soften in his presence? Is my womanliness stoked? Does he compel me at all? That isn't emotion. It's well beyond that. He's stirring your essence.
I don't feel that often but I know when it happens. He touches it and the woman comes forth. And I want to express it. There's a growing need for tenderness and I'm very attentive. He experiences me in a different way. Not as a friend or sister. But womanly gentleness. And he knows the difference.
I experience the same. The cause and effect of our meeting....The natural dance. I evoke his kindness and courtesy. He's protective and wants me to feel safe. The greater the demonstration the quieter I become. His presence brings stillness and I calm him. There's a unity that didn't exist before we met.
That's the one I'm seeking.
