Do you hear the whispers from others? Have you seen how people watch you? They’re wondering who you are.  They say within themselves,  who is he?  Who is she?   I’m sure you’ve experienced this on more than one occasion.  This year, 2012, is the right time to “come out” and let the world know… “I am the one He loves!”

God loves you with an everlasting love. God releases a love that is as hot as fire and as soothing as healing balm. We are in the fire of HIs love.   In 2012 and onward, let us enjoy the bliss of His love. Let us partake of HIs love that is better than wine.  This love is given to us freely from a fountain that will never run dry. (Song of Sol. 1:2) We must drink deeper so we can go much farther. The more of God’s love we drink in, the more we will have to give away. We are only able to love God and the world to the degree we receive His love for ourselves? It’s delightful to come into the consciousness of “the God who loves me”.  After all, the bible let’s us know that God is love.  Yes, of course we’ve received this truth intellectually. (1 Jn. 4:8)  Now, let’s feel and enjoy the experience of being loved.  Let the actuality  of  being loved by God, the uncreated one, become our reality. He loved us first (1 Jn. 4:19). Allow this biblical truth to add to the already existent  positioning in your mind. For example, we oftentimes see ourselves reaching out to God, who sits on the throne giving us occasional glances, when, in fact, He loved us first and is disproportionately in love with us.

In 2012 and beyond, let us “the ones He loves” walk in the intoxication of our first love. “He has taken me to the banquet hall (house of wine), and his banner over me is love.” (Song of Sol. 2:4 NIV). There is a place in HIs presence where you, “the ones He loves”, are brought to intimacy and delight. God, who loves you overshadows you. You will begin to feel his covering. You’ll feel endorsed, protected, covered, and wrapped by Him. This is His banner of love draping you. Drink of His wine excessively, not sparingly while being draped in his embrace.  It’s wonderful to know that the wine of His love should be drunk in excess. There is never a limit to the amount of this love we can drink. While drinking of His love we are being filled with His Spirit.(Eph. 5:18) Song of Solomon 5:1 encourages you to “drink your fill, O lovers!” (NIV).

In 2012 the world will have the answer to the question: “Who is he?” or “Who is she?” The answer is: “I am the one whom He loves!”
