Just when you think you know Jesus and become satisfied in His love, He stirs up a deeper hunger within to prove there is more. More than we could ever imagine, so much more that it is going to take all of eternity to tap into its fullness. So for now, here on earth, living in the mundane, we are left lovesick.
To be lovesick is to starve for love in such a way that it causes you to experience hunger pains.
This kind of desperation is proof that you have been touched by God. I have experienced His love and affections toward me to such a degree that when the encounter is over...I am left in pure agony. My spirit cries "Sustain me, refresh me, for I am lovesick!" (Song of Songs 2:5)
I NEED MORE!
I must have more of this love. I can not live outside of this love anymore. I have tasted the goodness of the Lord, and nothing else will ever truly satisfied. I am ruined.
His love IS BETTER than wine [the most sensible pleasures of the world]!
So, Beloved--here my cry for more. Feed me once again under the apple tree. I cannot go back to life as I know it. Feed my heart like You do, tell me the truth one more time. Tell me who I am to You, I desire Your heart. Draw me away, speak tenderly to Your bride.
Let me come up leaning.
