**Sweet Nothings**

Yesterday it was raining so hard early in the morning. I threw the white big door open and plunged into the misty rain. I half jogged and half walked to the bus stop, waited for a few minutes and saw the bus approaching. I hopped on. Silence. Time passed a little. Then a loud noise. The sounds of the trains approaching. I hopped off the bus and got on the subway. I was reflecting on how good I felt going to work, I had been searching for something like this, but alas my search was over! A shouting testimony! And this was only just the beginning. One day I will be telling the full story to the Nations...from a roof-top.

So back to the train. I opened my book and started flipping pages. In some quick seconds, my eyes began to twitch and flutter. Out of the corner of my left eye I saw them. They were standing with their bodies leaning against each other. And he was whispering what I call romantic "sweet nothings" into her ears. Sweet, sweet, nothings. But she was blushing so those words must really have been sweet. Lol.

He was the lover and she was his beloved. As usual, my mind flipped for a second towards my Lover. My Knight in shining armor, who is also incidentally the Uncreated Creator. I began to distinguish his love. You see, human beings can whisper lots of words, especially in the excitement of the moment. But God is not like that. Every word He speaks MUST surely be true and must come to pass. He has declared His love for us in so many ways. Only this time, they weren't sweet nothings...they were just really sweet! He's been known to say words like, "Behold I will allure [you], bring you into the wilderness, and comfort you (Hosea 2:14)." He also calls you the "apple of His eye," (Zechariah 2:8); He calls you "His bride" while He refers to Himself as "the Bridegroom." (Rev 19:6-8).

The lips of men are sometimes filled with romantic and beautiful sweet nothings, but God offers so much more. He told the woman at the well, "When you taste my water, you will never thirst again." Sometimes our physical bodies ache for the love of another human being. But as far as we remain human, we will always thirst for something more. Our bodies cannot be completely satisfied by the love of another human being. Yes, our other halves may mean what they're saying. But because of their flesh they will get weak sometimes in fulfilling those words. So what can bring pure satisfaction? Look towards the hills...

...For the LOVE of God can never fail...
