A lone figure, standing on the porch. Straining His eyes. Yes, He sees her. She's out under a tree, this woman He longs to spend the night with. She's with someone else. Someone who can never really love her. He'll wait for her, as always. This relationship can't last long.

A Covenant of Love...Broken
[Jeremiah 2]
This bride was to be very special one. Vows exchanged, a covenant established. A covenant of love.
This bride, who was to be a holiness to The Bridegroom, disgraced His name.
Unfaithful to her Husband (Who loves her with an unequal-able love and never once broke His end of the covenant), she heads out to try to find fulfillment in other "lovers".
She goes from one to another. Ashamed when found, back at it when opportunity comes. Unresponsive to correction.
She rightly deserves to be cast off. But This Groom isn't ready for that, yet.
Despite all this He loves her still. He pleads for her to come back. And He trusts her again.
This...is without equal.

The Antidote to Fear
Fear confuses and breaks us (literally or figuratively), and causes discouragement and dismay. Which is why Satan uses it so much, especially on those who are doing a great work for God. The antidote? A calling.
Because if I was called, than this has been part of God's plan for me from the beginning.
And it I was called (by God), then I can be sure He will be with me and fight for me.
And though all may come against me, I am a victor because He is.
And if God is with me, though I appear all alone, I really have the stronger army on my side.
And even though in my own eyes I am very weak (as I am), to my enemies I appear invincible because He is.
And though they may hurt me, they cannot destroy me. He will deliver.
