While the king was at his table, My perfume spread its fragrance.

 ~Song Of Songs 1:12 NIV

Lord, I’m reading from The Kiss of Peace by Diane Virginia about the bride and groom dance in Song of Solomon—so appropriate before dinner at Your table. Oh beautiful one, I adore You.

Me:

I’m imagining You lifting my hand in Yours,
And gently, You turn me around
Where I fall into Your embrace,
And together, we are happy.

Ah, Jesus, this is what I long for.
Then You lead me
To a linen-covered table
On gilded China. We eat
Hand in hand.
A bubbly glass sparkles.
Ah, a taste of crisp coolness.

My fork easily pierces tenderloin
With steaming whipped potatoes,
Lightly covered with au jus.
A dark green leafy sauteed vegetable
Accompanies my meal,
And we taste
And look into one another’s eyes.
We feel the love––I am Your chosen.

And we are one.

My response naturally gravitates
To grasping the spikenard,
Breaking and pouring pure lovely nard,
Fusing the atmosphere
With the aroma of pure love.

We are one.

My breath lightens in knowing all is safe.
I’m connected to You, Lord,
Oh, beautiful one.

God’s Response:

Ah, beautiful one. I love your imagination.
I love giving you your heart’s desire––
You are like a fragrant rose to me.
Come into my presence and let my love
Overflow your fears, your past,
Your present, your future.
Stay together at this table with me—

All is well.

Me:

All is well.

Lord, I know You are pleased to dance with my body and soul. You desire an intimate connection with me. Open my heart to Your love so I can receive the union You long to give.
