Tell me, why is it:
When he takes a step toward me,
I take a step back toward You.
he tells me he adores me.
I say I adore You.
I don't wanna fear this.
I want to enjoy it,
and
love
again.
But, it's hard throwing pearls to men.
Guard it but, don't harden it.
My heart's a complicated thing.
Step by step please guide us.
In Your presence I can rest.
Don't want to withhold,
because of things done that are old.
Could he handle?
Would he judge?
Will we love without a grudge?
Love covers over a multitude of sins.
Your love is enough.
Don't want You to have to pry open my hands,
to give me a gift.
Will You just give me peace?
Or not, if I'm going amiss.
Dating again. Kind of a scary thing. But I realize that with God's help, I can do all things. His way this time. Learning from mistakes. Making no provision for the flesh. I want to live out love that's pure and take the devil by surprise. I've been inspired by Need to Breathe's, Looks Like Love, "I won't run when it looks like love. I won't hide beneath the fear of how the past has come undone. I won't run when it looks like love. 'Cause I can't spend another night alone regretting what I've done. So, I won't run." Also, Sara Grove's, Open My Hands, "He withholds no good thing from us...I will open my hands, will open my heart; I am nodding my head an emphatic yes to all that You have for me." I'm trying to get there.
Oh yes :) Ben Stuart's (from Breakaway Ministries) Podcast series on Song of Songs is great too. Best explanation of the book I've ever heard. Enjoy responsibly lol

This so beautifully describes how you're feeling. Thank you for sharing, love! I'm excited to see what happens as you step out in faith! God's gonna teach you a lot :) Which though challenging, is also exciting! Love you, friend! Also, love your last line of it, "Will you just give me peace? Or not, if I'm going amiss." A great question to ask God for many situations! <3
