Is there a connection between the noise in our life and our own inability to hear God?

J.R.R. Tolkien: Lord of the Rings. You are
entertaining and imaginative, creating whole
new worlds around yourself. Well loved, you
have a whole league of imitators, none of which
is quite as profound as you are. Stories and
songs give a spark of joy in the middle of your
eternal battle with the forces of evil.
Which literature classic are you?
brought to you by Quizilla
well, i like the book, thats for sure...and stories and songs if they are Bible stories and worship songs def. give a spark of joy in the middle of the eternal battle ....so, i guess this is pretty accurate :) And my strange antics and such can be entertaining...or funny in that stupid sort of way... haha .

"as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so will your God rejoice over you." - Isaiah 62:5
This is the passion, the love, the adoration, and the intimacy God has for you. It is all over the Bible. (Genesis, Isaiah, Hosea, Psalms, Songs, Ephesians and Relevations) Yes, He is Father, Lord, Master, Friend....but He is all things in One. He is also Lover, Husband, Groom. We are the Bride of Christ. This is uncomfortable for many, because it is not often talked about, and it is not often talked about b/c it makes people uncomfortable...a terrible cycle that often prevents God people from knowing the depth of His love for them.
Think about it, the most initimate relationship on earth is that of a husband and wife; God created marriage to mirror the intimacy He desires with us. It's not enough that we would call Him Master, He wants more of us, He is captured by us, one glance of our eye and He is enthralled. Why does this scare us and make us uncomfortable? Because it means authenticity and intimacy like we have never known...it means opening our hearts, souls and Spirit to the Truth and life-changing power of the Love of God.
Questions or comments about this? Put them in and I'll get back to you. Enter into ALL God has for you- He is love sick for you, His beloved, His chosen, His cherished!
