"A Long Love Letter" Reading and Prayer GuideSample
I Will Cherish You - Heart
Heart of My Heart—You are well prepared for the task at hand and the most important ingredient is your heart. Thank you, for a heart that seeks and finds Me. Thank you, for a heart that pants after Me as the hart pants after streams of fresh water. Thank you, for your heart turned to Me first and foremost—a heart that follows after Me with all of your heart. The world looks on the outward appearance but I look at the heart and yours brings Me great joy. Thank you, for being My heartbeat on the earth. Thank you, for being My hands and My feet but most of all for being My heart and allowing Me to reach out in love to those round about you. The greatest is love. Thank you, for your heart filled with compassion and caring, a heart that breaks for others. I have seen the tears of your heart and they are very precious to Me.
I treasure your heart, aching in true repentance. I cherish your heart that aches to be righteous and in right standing with Me—a heart that loves and cares enough to try to change into My image and likeness. I see your heart that beats for Me, alone. Thank you, that I AM your true heartbeat.
Beloved, I see your grateful heart and it opens the way for Me to pour more blessings upon you. Those, who don’t stop and look up and thank Me and appreciate the gifts but even more the Giver of the gifts, stop the flow of blessing. If only, they knew the cost of getting their eyes on the gift and not the Giver of the gift—they would stop and look up and thank Me. I long to lavish My Beloved with every good and perfect gift. I have such wondrous gifts to give, if only they will keep the channel of blessing open. I will always quickly reopen the channel, if they will only turn their eyes upon the Giver and not the gift. So many stumble over this and slide from grace when there are such beautiful packages filled with amazing gifts and delightful surprises awaiting them. I AM a jealous lover and I share My glory and the praise and gratitude due Me with no person or thing. A thankful, grateful heart is the longing of My heart. It is your gift of love for Me.
Love is the gift that keeps on giving. Love is the true gift—the gift of gifts. Give from a generous, giving heart. Give freely with no strings attached, with no charge or cost of any kind. Give and it shall be given unto you— pressed down, shaken together and running over will gifts be returned and given unto you, in many different forms and ways, from all directions. It is impossible to outgive Me—but I appreciate your trying.
Receive My love in such a vast portion that it will spill over and splash over on all, who come near. I AM your Source of love and it is a constant and unending supply. There is no end to My love. The more you give away—the more you receive. So be lavish with My love. Be generous to one and all. Don’t hold back. Don’t ration it. Don’t partial it out but give and give and give again and receive and receive and receive again. There is enough for all. There is an abundant and everlasting supply.
Thank you, for taking the time to listen to My heart’s desire for you and for My beautiful Bride. My heart longs to impart My wisdom and share My love with My Beloved. Tell them for Me that I love them—with all of My heart.
