Linger
Longer Lane
There is a road not far from me named, Linger
Longer Lane. Doesn’t that just pull at your heartstrings and make you want to
get out of the car and walk slowly down the road? A road with tall evergreen
trees with streaming sunshine through its branches. A place so quiet you really
do want to linger longer there. A place where you sense God is waiting there
just to be alone with you.
“O my
darling, lingering in the gardens,
your companions are fortunate to hear your
voice.
Let me hear it too!”
Song of Songs 8:13 NLT
Oh how our Lord longs for us to linger longer with
Him, to hear our voice calling Him and no other. Here in our secret place with
Him we get a glimpse of the beauty and the power of His love.
Here we can share our most intimate and cherished
moments with Jesus. He yearns for that personal relationship with us, no detail
of our lives is too small and never too great for Him to hear.
Here alone with God we gain a fresh vision and
inspiration of going forward on our journey in life which Jesus so desires for
us. He puts all things in a fresh perspective, when we give it all to Him. He
gives rest to our soul and peace in our heart that the world can’t give or ever
understand.
We can know our Bible and memorize the Scriptures
but until we are alone with God in our secret place, we will never know the
power of God.
Does God send signs in our life? Real ones? I may
never know until I get to heaven. But whenever I see the Linger Longer Lane
sign I am reminded how precious it is to know I will always find Him waiting
there just for me.
“But until
then, I will retreat to my secret place, a heartsick, lovesick bride who longs
to behold her Bridegroom. I will purse Him with the intent of overtaking Him. I
will exult in our quiet secret―the place of highest intimacy―for here I am
joined to Him and we are one spirit.”―Bob Sorge, Secrets of the Secret Place
