The Unnatural Love of God Deeply Feels

It truly takes

the love of God

to genuinely feel 

what another

is going through.

It takes presence

and soft quickened heart

to care and to have

His compassion.

The love of God

doesn't come naturally.

If our hearts

were so turned on 

as to deeply feel

what others around us 

go through,

it would be too overwhelming.

Try with all we can muster

to be there and to truly care 

and it wouldn't be enough.

But presence is there.

His.  Ours.  Intermeshed. One.

We were given five senses.

Seeing, hearing, touching,

tasting, smelling.

The Comforter is seeing,

hearing, touching, tasting

and smelling through/with you.

And when all those senses

wait in His Presence

as you are present with this one

and that,

know sweet child of God,

that He will guide.

He will whisper to you

how to do this thing called 

God's love.

He knows we'd be overwhelmed.

He knows we will have 

to get away from it all

with the senses overwhelmed.

He knows we'll have to cry

and share the huge ache He put

in your heart for that person

or city or nation.

He knows you cannot handle it

on your own.

And He will cry with you.

He aches with you.

He sighs with you.

He longs for this one and that

to be set free and know 

the living Savior.

Cry with Him.

Ache with Him.

Unload with Him.

Let it come out 

and don't hold it in.

He will take all the pain,

He will take all the deep care,

He will take the longing,

the inexpressible things

that can only be found in the tears

and the sighing and heaving.

And He will take it 

and offer it to God 

and come back to you

with God's thoughts for that one

or two, or group or city or nation.

Just wait and be patient.

Be present.  

Let the senses be overwhelmed.

And daily need your Comforter.

He is there night and day.

Know that no one can care for you

as deeply as God will.

Be patient with everyone you encounter 

if you've been one to express.

You've felt things that your presence

has felt uniquely 

and those that hear may 

or may not have.

And that's just how it is.

Many will not understand.

But your Comforter will.

Your Comforter does.

Your Comforter was there WITH you.

He put the heart of God in you.

You felt His heart.

And it is overwhelming to you

and everyone else.

Go cry.  Be with Him alone.

And know this process is very OK.

He made it this way.
