If Only You Knew, My Love

If only you knew, My love, that I truly know you.

I Am the God of all creation, the One who builds and makes whole.

Seek Me to reveal to you exactly who you are, My beloved offspring who trust in My Son.

You were moulded in My love and your authentic self is in My love.

You are broken, and only My love can make you whole.

If only you knew, My love, that abundant life is within your grasp.

Oh, how you yearn to be a stranger to fear when fear knows you all too well.

As distant as the stars are to you, so is the chasm between My children and fear.

My children are led by love and are not strangers to themselves and Me.

Let My Holy Spirit increase your love so that you glorify Me.

Let My Holy Spirit move you to love so that you honour Me.

If only you knew, My love, the revelation of who you truly are is found in submission to My will.

Love is My will. My will is love. Love is omnipotent, love is valiant and victorious, and love is the cornerstone of your faith.

If only you knew, My love, your soul longs after Me; your soul longs to love and be loved.

I Am your heart’s desire, and you long to worship Me in love.

If only you knew—you are love.
