Our Scripture awakened that most glorious of things, the spontaneous love our Lord so desires His children to bear Him, for it is what He bears them.

I’d decided last night, and strengthened my resolve this morning, to have eyes for no man but Jesus. If intimacy was really what He desired most, then I desired it too. I felt strangely free from life as I had known it…

The dream that wakened me pushed at the veil of consciousness but could not burst through, and I was left wondering what I had known just a moment before.

Sometimes one awakes with the knowledge that unrecallable dreams have been lining your sleep, and though you feel rested, it is the rest of one who has lived for hours in an alternate world, another realm.

I remember three years ago looking into the entrance pool of Julia’s stately domus and finding I was beautiful.
