The Courtship He walks beside me all the way within the gardens of my day to keep, to comfort, and to pray in hopes I’ll choose in Him to stay and always there abide. He loves me more than I will know and only wants to see me grow as I go searching to and fro to never find what’s sought below compares to what’s inside. He speaks so sweet that none is heard above the whispers of His Word that moves my heart until it’s stirred to know above Him none’s preferred and ne’er shall be denied. He holds me close until I feel His presence in me, now, so real that should it ever be reveled I know my future’s all but sealed forever to reside in Heaven as His Bride. God bless, Lighthouse Bob |

I love this: Him walking "within the gardens of my day" with me. God bless you Bob, I can feel you really close to Him. |

Joyce, Thank you for your kind reply. It was stirring my soul a bit while I was thinking how our time on earth is but a time of courtship for our Lord as he is preparing us to one day be His Bride. Thanks again. -Bob |

jjote, Thank you. It's so nice to see your reply here. I so appreciate seeing your name and I do think as you have written that perhaps while I write poetry is some of the closest moments that I have with the Lord as I do seem to open my heart and mind a bit more than usual to His presence. Thank you for noticing. -Bob |

The warmth, joy and security of being with Him comes through in these well written lines. It's nice to see the seldom used term of becoming Christ's bride, too. Thanks, Bob, for sharing your great perspective of our Lord grooming us for the begining of eternity. Rae |

Rae, I am reminded here by your comment that we are to encourage one another and even more so now that the day of our Lord Jesus Christ's return is even more evident and near. I got a smile from your play on words here... that our Lord is "grooming" us... Yes, He certainly is indeed. LOL God bless you my friend. -Bob |

Annie, I am sooooooo happy to read of your return to your faith. I do know that the angels in Heaven are rejoicing as well over this Wonderful Wonderful news. I do pray that God would heal and restore the Love and the Fervor that once you knew in your faith. God bless you abundantly my friend and Welcome back. -Bob |
