When my Beloved took me to the desert to speak softly to me and win my heart, I remember having sung a song to him many times that says "Like the first time I fell in love with You, I couldn't resist... falling in love more, falling in love more... make me more passionate, make me more passionate..." I sang it to him with all my heart because I really wanted, I longed for my heart to be completely His.
A few days ago I was following the reading of the Bible in a year (on my cell phone) when I felt discomfort in my eyes that have been somewhat sick from the light from the screens, I began to want a new one, remembering that in fact, Perla bought one recently, so I asked Him to help me replace some things with printed texts so I could rest my eyes. Then He guided me to a beautiful printed version of the Bible, I bought it with shipping to Colombia because where I live in the Dominican Republic it is very difficult to receive packages from abroad so I have to make several shipments for them to reach my hands.
When my Bible arrived at my sister's house in Colombia, my brother-in-law saw it and exclaimed Another Bible! suggesting that we already have many (because I also gave the same version to my sister 🙂 so I said "Just as he is passionate about sports and we think "another soccer world cup!" Well, I am passionate about Him and I love everything about Him. Today meditating on it I remembered that song that I sang to Him and I can see He has been faithful in keeping me passionately in love with Him, the joy, excitement, and expectation of receiving my new Bible was the same as a little girl. The cost of the different shipping methods to have it in my hands today was very high, plus I got up very early with the purpose of going to pick it up, I was so excited! It revealed the value He has for me now. No matter the cost if I just delight in Him.
My eyes fill with tears when I think of His faithfulness, of His immense love for me, how much I love every wound that I suffered and that He healed, how much I love every trial that made me cry because it led me to the only One who dried my tears, the One who kept them and changed them into joy, I gave Him ashes and He gave me beauty I613… There is no more beautiful place than being under His wings, close to His heart where I can feel His heartbeat and His love.
Anastasia how beautiful!!! My Bible is so damaged and l need a new one too 🙏 what a beautiful praise and yes!! The cost is nothing for Him ❤️❤️❤️ because He is so worth it!! Enjoy your new Bible and reading it with your Husband 💕

Thank you for sharing Anastasia! When my journey started I had a softcover NIV bible that I read and marked with different coloured crayons. It started to fall apart from the reading and writing. I also have my dad’s Bible which is a old AFR translation (difficult to read) and a Bible my grandma bought me when I was a child, but I saw a pretty pink Bible in a Christian bookstore. At that stage I was broke, but I asked my HH if He will make a way for me to buy that Bible, and He did. I was so excited to go to the store and buy it, and I was also able to buy my daughter a sparkly pink and blue art Bible! I can understand how excited you must have been, I felt the same! And now that my daughter is a teenager, I catch her sitting on her bed, reading that sparkly Bible and colouring in all the colouring pages.
Wow!! I have the Bible to coloring too!!! I love having time with my Husband while I coloring and He usually gives me more understanding when I do that. How beautiful is enjoy the same things with Him with women like-minded 💖
