Your Lord...

This morning I am waking up to creation singing all around me and an anticipation that I can't quite explain....I can't help but have some amazing conversation with Jesus today!
I have this beautiful Bible...I LOVE it! It's TD Jakes...Woman Thou are Loosed version. There are beautiful devotionals that he has written throughout it....I have had this Bible for years and I don't believe I have read this particular devotional before...it's as if it stayed hidden until today. I must share it with you!

Your Lord Psalm 45:11

Every woman who walks with God walks through storms, winds, and rain. O woman of God, your life is filled with challenges and victories, smiles and tears. You are like a sweet salve mixed by and apothecary. You are a careful blend of life's many spices. Your personality is a potpourri of so many different things that years of knowing you will not reveal everything that makes you who you are. Youare carefully concocted and slowly simmered, stirred patiently by the Lord. It is amazing how deliberate God is in preparing you for your destiny. He knows exactly how long it will take. He knows who to send into your life. He knows what events it will take to bring you to a place of maturity in Him. He is your Lord.
It does not take long to realize that though you may have many admirers, friends, and family, none will ever take the place of your Lord. His place in your life is the foundation of every success you will ever enjoy. He will be there in every moment of pain and glory. He is the force that brings all the pieces of your life together. It is His tender love for you that keeps your mind from breaking under the stress of life. And when all is said and done no one can comfort you or hold you like He can.
You may be prosperous in your busines, secure in your relationships, confident in who you are, but it is all because of Him. It is knowing Him that gives you the grace to endure transitions, to withstand opposition, and to deflect the ammunition of the enemy. He enables you to know when the day is at it's end. He will watch you through the night and His kiss will bring you out of your sleep come dawn. He is your LORD.
Oh yes, for men it is a privilege to know and love, hold and touch a lady of excellence. It is an honor to be born out of your womb. It is a distinct privilege to take your hand in marriage. TI is a joy to hear the laughter that comes from the mouth of a woman whose heart is filled with love and peace. We watch you like admirers in a museum. We appreciate you like connoisseurs of fine cuisine. But, when all is said and done, there is a part of your life that none can touch- but your LORD.
SO know Him and love Him and worship Him. Of all the men on earth, no one can ever speak to your spirit or heal your heart like your LORD!
