An anniversary always makes me remember...  Vol 1. Chap. 23

Anniversaries are a good time to ponder LOVE. My hubby and I have one coming up this week. As I try to wrap my head around the love I am experiencing with my husband, the fact that we  met four years ago and how our lives have changed in these long/short four years, I remember the greatest love we both have in each of our lives.

I'm blessed to love a man who, like me,  loves God more than anything else in the world.

My husband lost a powerful man in his life recently. The headmaster from the school of his childhood. BC attended his memorial service at a Quaker Friends School on Saturday. I have no doubt that those years in that school built godly character into my husband's life.

One of the reasons I think hubby and I have been so well suited together is my family Mennonite background and his family Quaker background.

Neither of us are in these denominations any longer, but the formulation of our childhoods are deeply rooted in the principals of God, peace, simplicity, and many other spiritual disciplines.

The Love we have for each other is in direct relation to the Love that we have found in God.

I decided to share some words from a blog I sometimes read.

"So, from David Roper, something wonderful to ponder.


Lovesick and Dumbfounded
Carolyn and I often spend our quiet times reading from A Guide to Prayer for Ministers and Other Servants, an Upper Room publication (If you've visited Shepherd's Rest you've seen the copies in each bedroom.) The Old Testament passage for this morning was Zephaniah 3:17.
With apologies to Zephaniah and Bruce Waltke, my old Hebrew professor, here is my translation...The LORD, your God is with you--your hero, mighty to save!He takes great delight in you.
He is speechless with love for you.
Every time he thinks of you he breaks into joyful song!-Zephaniah 3:17
I'm awed by the notion that God takes great delight in me and breaks into song each time he thinks of my name. But it's the phrase I render, "He is speechless with love for you" that captivated me.
The verse is usually translated, "He will be quiet in his love," or in some translations, "He will quiet you." But the verb doesn't suggest tranquility or rest. It actually means, "to strike dumb."[1] And since the verb is in parallel with other verbs that suggest God's strong emotions ("takes great delight," and "breaks into joyful song") it must point to what He himself feels.
I wonder then: Could the analogy be that of a lovesick swain who is bowled-over, flabbergasted and dumb-founded by his love for the beloved-so overcome with fondness that he is tongue-tied? Is God, in some inexplicable, anthropomorphic way, "struck dumb" with love each time he thinks of us? If so, to be loved like this is, in turn, to be rendered speechless. As Isaiah would say, "I am undone."And who is it that God so loves? One who is strong and able, brilliant, and breathtakingly beautiful? No, it is one who is "weak and the weary... who takes refuge in the name of the LORD" (Zephaniah 3:12). "



...He is speechless with love for you.
...He is speechless with love for you.
...He is speechless with love for you.
I'm pondering the love that breaks forth from my LORD

Do you realize that He is speechless with love for you?
He is.
