My Lover

I have a lover. He is the most amazing man in the universe! My lover is ten times more of a gentleman than Mr. Knightley. He sends me gifts every day. He has written me dozens of loveletters. My lover's voice could cause mountains to shake with it's awesomeness. He is famous- most everyone has heard His name in some way or another, though some speak it lightly and try to degrade it. My lover is an artist, a farmer, a fisherman, a Prince. My lover is wiser than any man has ever been. And He is crazy about me- He has had His eye on my heart since before I was even born. He constantly seeks to win my heart, and He has. He writes me songs, and stories, and wishes to be with me whenever and wherever. He is never too busy to talk with me. In fact, He is delighted when I converse with Him about the simplest thing. He is rich, owning everything He lays eyes on. He is building me a mansion on a street paved of gold. His eyes gaze on me with perfect joy. He is the ultimate hero, gentleman, knight... you name it, He's better than anyone! He is more talented than any Olympian, He is more humble than any person on the face of the earth. He loves to hear me speak of Him to others. He has claim to more glory than any person on the earth. He loves me to death. Literally. I have ignored Him unintentionally sometimes, and yet, when I come back around to looking for my lover, I find He has been at my elbow the entire time. He would love me if I never spoke to Him. He sends me flowers, He paints me pictures, He sings me songs. There is no man greater than my lover. He could comman respect from President Obama, and any man throughout history if He had wanted. But no. My lover is tender-hearted, merciful. He will not force anyone to seek Him. He calls them, always, but never commands them to acknowledge His greatness. At least, not yet.
He is interested in every single detail of my life. He carries the lightest burdens for me, so that I need not be pained, or heavy-laden. He is my Prince! More lion-hearted than King Richard, wiser than Solomon, richer than Bill Gates, and He has chosen me! Can you imagine that? And to make sure that I could always live with him, forever, He gave His glorious life, for me.
I don't think I need to explain who my lover is, but I'll tell you anyway: JESUS CHRIST!!!
And even when my earthly husband appears, I don't think I could have a better lover than the One who has chosen me for all time! -Rachel
