The Importance of Romance

The Importance of Romance

 

 

I am still receiving revelation and understanding why the Lord encouraged me to write and perform romantic poetry among His people over twenty years ago.  As I traveled to churches and homes across the land, God would show me that the component of Love called romance was practically non-existent among leaders and their spouses.  He told me that that was one of the reasons that their anointings were so dry and forced. 

 

 

He taught me that there had to be a passion for life in order for there to be true passion for the things of God and His Kingdom.  And now twenty years later, I discern that it is still more comfortable for married Christians to speak of their love for God, but not for each other.  This is not natural because Ephesians 5 speaks extensively about the unique relationship between husbands and wives being "a great mystery...concerning Christ and the Church."

 

 

God wants His people to be authentic instead of offering Him what we think He wants.  Sometimes we're looking so hard for answers that are right under our noses.  He wants us to observe His Word with open hearts and open minds instead of with pre-conceived ideas.  We can use Isaiah 55:8,9 as a framework for trying to discrn the difference between His thoughts and ways and ours.  His are higher, and ours are base, and higher does not mean harder.  Since God is Love, we should be committed to study and to research Love in all of its facets because since God is Love, then Love is power.
