Perfect Love.



Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone,
To have a deep soul relationship with another,
Be loved thoroughly, and exclusively.

But God, to a Christian, says:
I want you to be satisfied, fulfilled, and content
With being loved by Me alone-
With giving yourself totally and unreservedly to Me,
With having an intensely personal and unique relationship with Me alone.
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 able to unite with another
Until you are united with Me.
Exclusive of anyone or anything else,
Exclusive of any other desires or longings.
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, trusting Me,
Expecting the greatest things.
Keep experiencing the satisfaction that
I am.
Keep listening and learning the things I tell you.
You just wait.
That's all.
Don't be anxious.
Don't worry.
Don't look around at the things
Others have gotten or that I've given them.
Don't look at the things you think you want.
You just keep looking to Me,
Or you'll miss what I want to show you.
And then, when you're ready,
I'll surprise you with a love

 Far more wonderful than any you would dream of.You see, until you are ready,
and until the one I have for you is ready,
(I am working even at this moment to have both of you ready at the same time), 

Until you are both satisfied exclusively with Me,
and the life I prepared for you,
You won't be able to experience the love that
exemplifies your relationship with me.
And this is the
perfect love.
"Dear one, I want you to have the most wonderful love.
I want you to see in the flesh a picture of your relationship with Me,
And to enjoy materially and concretely the everlasting union of beauty,perfection,and love
That I offer you with Myself.
Know that I love you utterly.
I am God Almighty.
Believe and be satisfied.
"

(taken from Beatrice's blog)

When you are really hurt deeply, probably it's a good poem to remind you about the perfectness of God's love.





Your body needs to be held and to hold, to be touched and to touch. None of these needs is to be despised, denied or repressed. But you have to keep searching for your body's deeper need, the need for GENUINE LOVE. Everytime you are able to go beyond the body superficial needs for love, you are bringing your body home and moving toward integration and unity.

-Henri Nouwen, priest and writ
