In Brennan Manning’s book, “Abba Child”, he wrote that John, “the disciple Jesus loved”, did not believe that Jesus was the most important thing, he believed that Jesus was the only thing. Then I read a sentence from the book, “Prayer”, by Hans Urs von Balthasar, that just stood out to me like it was lit up with flashing lights. To me it just said exactly what I, and probably many others seeking the Lord, wants this brand new year, just this one beautiful awesome request. “LOVE DESIRES TO DWELL AT PEACE IN THE PRESENCE OF THE BELOVED.” WOW! That says it all. It also could be the subtitle of the picture, “The Kiss” by Gustav Klimt. It truly is one of my favorites because it reminds me of the Bridegroom embracing His bride. It so aptly decribes the verse in Song of Solomon 2:6, “His left hand is under my head, and His right hand embraces me.” (You can find it on the Internet.)
