A Great Love Story

I dreamed of a great love story between a man and a woman.

The dream took place in the house of the woman.

The man loved the woman greatly, and because of this great love, the woman's only desire was to be pleasing to Him.

There came a time in the dream, when the man was asked to drink from a cup. After drinking from the cup, He entered into great suffering. He called to the woman to drink from the cup also, so that they could remain one, but the cup was too much for the woman to bear. She would not drink form the cup and pulled away from the man. To His heartache, she gave her heart to another.

This caused the Man great pain, but He remained faithful in His love to the woman. He called out to her in His love, but she could not hear Him. She could no longer even see Him, for a scale of deception had covered her eyes and her heart for Him had grown cold. A Divine Intervention For the Woman

This went on for a season.

Then in the dream, there was a divine intervention in the life of the woman. That is the best way I can describe it. Something happened to the woman that opened her eyes and she was able to see the suffering of the Man in His love for her. This deeply pierced her heart and removed the scales of deception that had blinded her. She deeply repented her decision not to join the Man in His sufferings, and longed to be one with Him once again.

The woman returned to her home and cleansed it from top to bottom. Then she waited there in hopes that He would come to her.

The Man came to the home but could find no way to enter it. He called out to the woman in His love for her. The woman heard His cry and threw open the door to the house, and called out for Him to come to her.

I can not find words to describe the great joy that entered the heart of the Man, as the woman opened the door and called out to Him. There was no memory of her betrayal. Only His overpowering love for her, and great joy that she had been restored to Him. There was even a sense of foreknowledge in the Man, that He knew the woman would betray Him. But that in His forgiveness of her, their love would be deeper and sweeter than it had ever been before.

Hear the Song of the Groom to His Bride

Bride, you are more beautiful to me then the morning, More beautiful to me then the blanket of stars at night. I come to you in the twilight and speak My words of Love.

Listen to Me, I know your heart suffers. I know this My bride, for My heart suffers also. My heart suffers My bride, to be one with you. Is this the suffering of your heart, My bride? To be one with me.

The enemy of our love comes to you. he says you suffer in vain, that you are forgotten. he seeks to steal your love away, to turn your heart cold.

Look upon Me My bride, Look upon My suffering Love for you, Can you see that I could never forget you, That My love burns for you night and day.

Return to purity in your suffering for me. Let nothing satisfy you in your longing. In the end, I shall be your reward, as you shall be mine, as we shall be one, in our love, forever.

This Dream Also Cries Out to the Heart of Israel Oh Israel, Open your eyes and see the one who was pierced for you. See the Lamb that was slain at your feet in your place. Hear His cry of unending love for you. Return to Him, He waits for you now.
