A love affair with God
I know there are many men who think they know the true meaning of love. Many poets whom through their musings believe they have put it to verse. However, until they have experienced a true love relationship with the Lord they have no accurate point of reference from which they espouse.
One man however is my favorite when it comes to these feeble attempts. I find a sense of joy when I read his lyrics as I meditate upon my relationship with my Lord. I know that these were written to exclaim a love between man and women but I hear a different tune when I read them.
Here are a few that I enjoy in my love affair with God:
"Love sees with the heart and not with mind."
Shakespeare
"For where thou art, there is the world itself, and where though art not, desolation."
