Love of dreams with Jesus

I had a dream and in this dream was a couple. A man and a woman. In love? He is pursuing her. This is what transpired in that dream.

They were walking along a path in mid-day
Holding hands, laughing, smiling
A light in both their eyes
As the two joked around the woman ran ahead.
Laughing while turning to look back at him
The man took off after her, her purser
He caught up with her
Holding her in his arms while the two laughed the afternoon away.
They continued to walk
Speaking of life and how it is found in Jesus alone
Speaking poetry written on their hearts
Speaking their views on so many aspects of life
Resting in each other’s presence
Bringing out joy and peace in one another
So obvious
Day turned to evening as they sat under a tree
Eating a spontaneous picnic
Their conversation continued with ease
and hardships when they opened up bit more
about each other’s past, scars, fears, struggles
And the peace that comes with knowing Jesus
and praying
Evening turned to night as
The stars sparkled their way into being
As conversation continued
They paused; long to watch the wonder of creation
The man spoke in hushed tones scripture written on his heart
Praising God for all
She whispered mostly dreamily, a tiny bit scarred
I love you
Another long pause
He had been waiting for her to say it first for
She feared it and so he left it to her to say it first
and she had said it
He still sensed her fear no matter how little it was
He answered
I love you as well
and I know some part of you still fears that
she answered – it does but I do love you
and I guarantee you I like it when you tell me that
more than I fear it
You have shown me lies that I have believed
Through you God has shown me men are not only able to love
but willing and openly love
it will never be perfect like Jesus’ for me
but with Christ leading us in this it can be closer to anything
I’ve ever had with a human as love can be
She paused and smiled
He sat up and looked at her
He said yet again I love you and
I will be patient with you at all times
I will be kind to you
I will not envy or boast
Nor will I be proud in this
I will not be rude to you
I will not be self-seeking in our relationship
I will not be easily angered by you
I will keep no record of wrongs
I will not delight in evil
but always rejoice in Truth
I will always protect you
I will always trust you
I will always hope for us
And this will always persevere
This is what I mean when I say I love you
I will never be completely this at all times
for I am still a human and that is
the sickness of our kind
But with Jesus I will always strive for this and allow
His love for me to shine to you
into our relationship
I will constantly pray that I can be this to you
And
I will always let you know I love you
in words, in actions, in all the little things and big things
I love you
He smiled and praised God that the Holy Spirit had
led him to speak his heart in a way that could
encourage hers with gentleness and truth and love
Oh How great You are God!
She praised God for putting this man in her life
Who was gentle and patient yet still pushing her to grow
that through Christ’s love for him, he was able to love her
like this
and she could return that through Jesus in the same
Oh How amazing You are God!
She told him
I love you
and promise the same in those words
they smiled and hugged in a way that goes beyond anything spoken
They laid back down on the grass
holding hands
wondering at the stars
And Jesus was the center of their relationship
flowing through every aspect of it
Soon after he walked her home, slowly
They spoke goodnights not wanting to leave each other’s presence
After a hug they parted ways
Knowing they would see each other tomorrow, and the next day, and the next
With each day God growing them more in His love
and in their love

Oh What a dream!
