"As I left her office I began to mull over our conversation. I started calculating when the last time was that I had a real love interest in my life. To my amazement, I realized it had been about seven years! Why, I hadn't even noticed the time racing by. Much had happened since that last failed romance. I had turned my attentions toward another Man. This man is truly a Renaissance Man. He does something of everything and does it all well. His speciality is law, but he also has a miraculous touch in the field of medicine. He is quite an artist, creating colours and sounds that cannot be duplicated. He is also an incredible therapist. After a session with him, the broken hearted are made whole, and the bound are set free.
What's he like? Well, he comes from a good family - royalty, in fact. He is so handsome, he's the fairest of ten thousand. Faithful? He has promised to never leave me nor forsake me. He's always available, no matter what time of day or night I call. I'm always his first priority. Romantic? He has written me the longest love letter in history - hundreds of pages. And the man has deep pockets, okay? The cattle on a thousand hills belong to him and he is willing to share all that he has with me. He promises to supply all of my needs according to the abundance of his riches.
I am so proud to belong to this Man because of his reputation. If I stood in the middle of any crowd and said his first name, every one would know who he was. And he's not afraid of commitment. He's gone to prepare a place for me and make ready a banquet where he will introduce me to his father, who is a very important man. And yet with all of this going on, he is a perfect gentleman: he stands at the door and knocks. He never forces entry into my home. He patiently waits to be invited in. But the thing I love about him most is his generosity. He is so generous, he even gave his life for me.
What is his name? Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace, Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Shalom, Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Rapha, El Shaddai .. oh, so many names. According to my heart and my need, I call him, but most of the time I simply call him Jesus. He is my everything, and I am totally his.
And so it is with a full heart that I expect to be found by a natural man, because to be caught up in a love affair with Jesus is to have nothing lacking in my world. For years I cringed when people told me that Jesus would be my husband. I wanted a physical touch. Little did I know that his touch went so much deeper. Truly he is able to satisfy completely and profoundly."
