❤️BELOVED❤️
(Author Unknown)

Everyone wants to give themselves completely to someone. To have a deep relationship with another. To be loved thoroughly and exclusively.
But God to a Christian says, Not until
you are satisfied, fulfilled, and content with being loved by me alone. To have an intensive personal and unique relationship with Me. Discovering that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found will you be capable
of the perfect human relationship that I have planned for you. You will never be completely united with another until you are completely united with Me. Exclusive of anyone or anything else, exclusive of any desire or longing. I want you to stop planning, stop wishing and allow Me to give you the most thrilling plan existing, one that you cannot imagine. I want you to have the best.Please allow Me to bring it to you. You just keep watching Me, expecting the greatest things.
Keep experiencing the satisfaction that I am. Keep listening and learning the things I promise and mean. Be patient, that is all.
Don't be anxious, don't worry , Don't look
around at all the things other have gotten or that I have given them. Don't look at the things you think you want. You just keep looking off and away up to Me or you'll miss what I want
to show you.And then, when you are ready, I
will surprise you with the love far more wonderful than you would dream of. You see, until you are ready and until the one I have for you is ready (I AM WORKING AT THIS MOMENT TO HAVE BOTH OF YOU READY
AT THE SAME TIME) until you're both satisfied with Me and the life I want you to have, you will not be able to experience the love that exemplifies your relationship with Me.
And dear one, I want you to have this wonderful love. I want you to see in the flesh
a picture of your relationship with Me. And to enjoy perfection and love that only I can offer. Know that I love you utterly. I AM GOD Almighty. Believe it and be satisfied.

"Let us strive for peace and harmony in the home."

David O. Mckay

THE ROOM
(Author Unknown)

In that place between wakefulness and dreams, I found myself in the room. There were no distinguishing features save for the one wall covered with small index card files. They were like the ones in libraries that listed the authors or subjects in alphabetical order. But these files, which stretched from floor to ceiling and seemingly endless in either direction,had very different readings. As I drew near the wall of files, the first to catch my attention was the one that read, " People I have liked". I opened it and began flipping through the cards. I quickly shut it, shocked , to realize that I recognized the names written on each one.
And then without being told I knew exactly where I was. This lifeless room with it's small files was a crude catalog system for my life. Here were written the actions of every moment, big and small, in detail my memory couldn't match.
A sense of wonder and curiosity coupled with horror stirred within me as I began randomly opening files and exploring their content. some brought joy and sweet memories,others a sense of shame and regret so intense that I would look over my shoulder to see if anyone was watching. A file named "FRIENDS" was next to the one marked " FRIENDS I HAVE BETRAYED".
The titles ranged from the mundane to the outright weird. "BOOKS I HAVE READ", "LIES I HAVE TOLD", "COMFORT I HAVE GIVEN", "JOKES I HAVE LAUGHED AT". Some were almost hilarious in their exactness. "THINGS I HAVE YELLED AT MY BROTHERS". Others I couldn't laugh at. "THINGS I HAVE DONE IN MY ANGER", " THINGS I HAVE MUTTERED UNDER MY BREATH TO MY PARENTS". I never ceased to be surprised by their contents. Often their were many more cards than I expected. Sometimes fewer than I hoped.
I was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of life I had lived. Could it be possible that I have time in my 20 years to write each of these thousands or even millions of cards?But each card confirmed this truth. Each was written in my handwriting.Each was signed with my own signature.
When I pulled out the file marked "SONGS I HAVE LISTENED TO", I realized the files grew to contain their content. The cards were packed tightly, and yet after two to three yards I hadn't found the end of the file. I shut it , ashamed, not so much the quality of the music, but more by the vast amount of time I knew that file represented.
When I came to the file marked " LUSTFUL THOUGHTS", I felt a chill run though my body. I pulled the file out only an inch, not willing to test its size , and drew out a card. I shuddered at its detailed contents. I felt sick to think that such a moment had been recorded.
An almost animal rage broke on me. One thought dominated my mind. " No one must see these cards! No one must ever see this room! I have to destroy them! " In an insane frenzy I yanked the file out. It's size didn't matter now. I had to empty it and destroy those cards. But as I took it at one and began pounding it on the floor, I could not dislodge a single card. I became desperate and pulled out a card only to find it strong as steel when I tried to tear it.
Defeated and utterly helpless,I returned the file to its slot. Leaning on my forehead against the wall, I let out a long self-pitying sigh.And then I saw it. The title bore, "PEOPLE I HAVE SHARED THE GOSPEL WITH", The handle was brighter than those around it, newer and almost unused. I pulled on its handle and a small box no more than three inches long fell into my hands. I could count the cards it contain on one hand. And then the tears came. I began to weep. Sobs so deep that the hurt started in my stomach and shook through me . I fell on my knees and cried. I cried out of shame, from the overwhelming shame of it all. The rows of file shelves swirled in my tear-filled eyes. No one must ever know of this room. I much took it up and hide the key.
But as I pushed away my tears, I saw Him. No, please not Him. Not here, Oh, anyone but Jesus. I watched helplessly as He began to open the files and read the cards. I couldn't bear to watch His response. And in the moments I could bring myself to His face, I saw a sorrow deeper than my own. He seemed to intuitively go through the worst boxes. Why did He have to read every one?
Finally He turned and looked at me from across the room. He looked at me with pity in His eyes. But it was a pity that didn't anger me. I dropped my head, covered my face with my hands and began to cry again. He walked over and put His arms around me. He could have said many things. But He didn't say a word. He just cried with me.
Then He got up and walked back to the wall of files. Starting at one end of the room, He took out a file and , one by one, began to sign His name over mine on each card.
"NO"! I shouted rushing towards Him. All I could find to say was, "No, no " as I pulled the card from Him. His name shouldn't be on these cards. But there it was written in red so rich, so dark, so alive. The name of Jesus covered mine. It was written in His own blood.
He gently took the card back.He smiled a sad smile and began to sign the cards. I don't think I'll ever understand how He did it all so quickly, but the next instant it seemed I heard Him close the last file and walked back to my side.He placed His hand on my shoulder and said, "It is finished".
I stood up, and He led me out of the room.There was no lock on its door. There were still cards to be written.❤️‍🩹
