                        I Am The One

My Beloved Child, I love you so very much. I wish you could grasp how 
deeply I love you. I love you more than anyone in your life ever could.
I love you more than you could ever be desired to be loved. I love you 
beyond measure, and I have given My all for you. 

You've always  wanted someone to cherish and treasure you. I am the 
One. I am the One who gave My life for you. I am the One who suffered 
for you. I am the One who was  rejected, beaten merciless and nailed 
to the cross for you. Yes, I am the One Who you are searching for.

Oh, how I wish you could see that I am the One. It breaks  My heart 
every second that you don't realize that I am the One. It breaks My  
heart when you look for love in all the wrong places and people. It 
breaks My heart when you try to satisfy the longing of your soul by 
indulging in the things of this world. (Pleasing your flesh will never 
satisfy you, but lead you to  destruction. The wages of sin is death, 
not love.) 

I am the only One who can satisfy the longing of your soul. I am the 
One Who completes you--man can't do it, friends can't do it, and 
neither can your family. I am the One who created you and I am the 
One who can  truly satisfy you.

Come to Me, My beloved child. Come to Me right now and let Me lavish 
My love on you. Not this world's love do I give you but My love, 
everlasting love. I give you love without blemish because I am love, 
and  there is no blemish in Me--no, not one. You don't have to fear 
My love because  My love will never leave you nor forsake you.

I am knocking at the door of your heart today. Open up and let My love 
come rushing in. Come and I will remove the emptiness, the  loneliness 
and the fear. Let Me pour My love upon your life until your cup  
overflows and splashes on others. All of your heartaches, pains and  
disappointments will evaporate in My presence. 

Come My beloved and  stay with Me. Don't leave My presence, no, not 
for a second. Walk with Me and  talk with Me every second of the day. 
Stay with Me in thought, in word and in prayer. See that I am all you 
could ever hope for or dream. I am the One.
