I also loved how movingly you described Christ as our cherisher and initiator. And Him being so is why I get so drawn to some of the lives of female medieval mystics. If you read their writings there is such an undercurrent of a "divine love affair" there, because they are living exactly what you were saying, coming with their surrender directly to Him, feeling their providence and provision and initiation directly from Him. It's why I have always been so drawn to them.

You really do have a rare gift of being both poetic and getting to the point, such a wonderful combination. I hope you write some articles : )

Thanks!
Under His Wing, thank you so much for your encouraging response to my post. I have to admit that I was hesitant to submit it, not having had much experience doing this sort of thing before.... (It took me almost two weeks and multiple editions!) So your positive response is heartwarming.

Thank you also for taking the time to share your thought-provoking insights with us. I’m glad they help you sort out your own feelings and desires - I hope you will be encouraged to continue to visit and contribute to this site.

What makes this site so wonderful is that while we may not agree on everything, there is common ground in many areas, and the give and take of ideas inspires us to re-evaluate our own positions and ideas.
