"Smitten"

 Webster defines "smitten" as "affected by something overwhelming". "awestruck". I am smitten for Jesus. I'm awestruck by His Love. I am wonderfully ship wrecked and ruined for all else. I simply must have Him.

I must breathe Him.
I must have His Mind.
I must have His Spirit.
I must please Him.
I must chase Him.
I must dwell in Him.
I must know Him.
I must take refuge in Him.

All of Him.

I may not be perfect but there is nothing. Absolutely nothing like dwelling in the secret place of the Most High. There is no safer place than being covered by His feathers. There is no greater peace than running into that "place" when all around you life is raging. His peace covers you. His love envelopes you. It is REAL. It is Liberating. It is a place that your problems become small and He becomes HUGE. Your issues seem mediocre and insignificant when you stand in the presence of His Glory because it is THERE that you know.....HE CAN HANDLE IT. Not matter how big or how small. Even in light of what becomes small...it matters to Him because it matters to you.  HE has the power over ALL things. Why worry when you have HIM? It is a place that you want to dwell and never come back but, you know you must...if only to share with others that this place is real. It is true and it is accessible for anyone that calls upon and believes on His Name.

I dare you to try Him. I dare you to become "smitten".
