Some of my favorite quotes from “Lover of my Soul” .......a book by Alan D. Wright
"Let Him take us to a place …..............The Bridegroom and His Bride “the
Church?”
“What a wonderful interweaving of womanly beauty! Pretty, but
unpretentious. Winsome but wise . Playful but mysterious!”
“ Junk food stops the growl but contaminates the body likewise, lust and
superficial relationships stop the growl momentarily ,but contaminate the
yearning.......soul...”
“Christ wants more than your public religious activities, He wants to know
you”
“Worship becomes a wonder, Prayer a privilege ,Servant hood , a fragrant
sacrifice.”
“ in true courtship there is no room for pride . The suitor must pour out
his heart...........
a gentleman doesn't want to consume his sweetheart , he wants to commune
with her, most of all he wants her to want him”
“ He came not to scare us into submission but to woo us into fellowship”
“instead of consuming you , the decided to court you”
“He not only let us touch Him, He lets us tear Him, He not only let us
stroke Him , He let us strike Him”
“ He'll stand beneath your bedroom window and sing ballads with angels until
you notice there's a heavenly choir in your life. He'll cry out at midnight
, wake up the neighbors and rouse you from your slumber until you finally
poke your head out the window of your soul to hear His voice”
“ He sent His Spirit into the world to woo , pursue and win a bride for the
Prince of Peace . The matchmaker found you.”
“ Father I want those you have given to me to be with me where I am “ ( John
17:24). No one comes to Jesus except the Father draws him( John 6:44) From eternity the Father
pointed past a million galaxies to you on the planet Earth and declared , ….... “ There she is Son , Go Love Her”
“ I suppose I would have to marry a harlot in order to comprehend what it
was like for Jesus to invite me to the altar”
“ This is your Bride son , Go take yourself an adulterous Wife”
“ Therefore I am now going to allure her , I will lead her into the desert
and speak tenderly to her”
“ I want you to treat me as your husband instead of as a customer . ( Hum
MM) I know how you sought to please them just so they would pay you. I want
your heart to beat with passion toward me. I want your soul to stir and
your whole body tingle at my touch . I want your passion and your affection
and your whole attention . Love is all I want my beloved Love”
“ Love the lord God with all your Heart with all your Soul , with all your
strength …...and Love your neighbor as yourself”
“The world waits for you to prove your worth , then calls you wonderful. God
blesses you and then watches your life become beautiful to fulfill the
promises of His Words ...”
“ Of course it's not physical beauty God is after its inner splendor”
“Jesus Christ , is the one husband who actually make His Bride whatever He
wants her to be”
“ The One who chose you as His Bride , is the One who made you”
“ If your maker is your Husband , it means you don't have to be beautiful
before he'll marry you”
“ Do you know the difference between observation and a gaze ?”
“ An observation is a fact finding Mission , A gaze is a deeper look , not
for the purpose of discovering information , but for the sake of enjoyment.
A gaze is more like absorbing than observing ...”
“ An invitation to gaze upon the Lords loveliness , not for education but
for enjoyment., Worshiping the beauty of God's Holiness is an opportunity to
become lost in His Splendor.”
“it is possible to be quite busy in the church but unwed to the Lord (
Depart from Me I never KNEW you) To talk about Him , teach about Him, even
tell about Him , but have no authentic intimacy.”
“ Watch the way a new bride beholds her groom. When he comes into her
presence , she stops whats she's doing . She looks , she smiles , she
gazes...............”
“ What does the groom want ? , her gaze!”
“God the heavenly bridegroom , delights in answering your prayers ,
comforting your hurts , and protecting you from harm. But my garden visit
reminded me , our Prince is not primarily useful – He is BEAUTIFUL!”
“ be glad your hero is also your husband”
“God the Father sent His Spirit into the world to seek a match for His only
Son. He noticed YOU. It was love at first sight. His affection feel upon you
. He wooed you, enticed you allured you. He paid an enormous bride price at
a place called Golgotha . And when you consented to His betrothal agreement
, you became His Bride His betrothed.”
“every time your wick burns brightly someone wants to take your oil”
“ Think about it , you can have worship so beautiful that everyone hears the
brush of angels wings , but somebody doesn't like the color of the communion
table cloth:”
“ In this world you will have troubles ( John 16:33 ) He cautioned them “I
am sending out like sheep among wolves . Therefore be as shrewd as snakes
and as innocent as doves “ ( Matthew 10:16 )
“ when God wants you near , He'll whisper as Lovers do.”
“The closer you are , the softer you speak. A bridegroom doesn't shout
intimate words from his pillow to the bride in his arms . He whispers them
in her ear.”
“ When God draws near to you, keep a Holy hush and wait for His whisper.”
A Husbands GOOD NIGHT!
“ Good night my sleeping beauty . I enjoyed our evening together”
“ Could we do this again sometime? Stay up all night just talking , giggling
and dreaming. A lifetime of all-night conversations could never quench my
thirst to Know You.”
