chased

My five year old, Isabelle, loves to be chased. She loves to run around playing tag.  Sometimes she'll tease to get chased for a hug, for affection.  When she's caught she'll squeal and giggle with sheer delight and ask for it again.  I'm pretty sure being caught is her favorite thing.
The female gender enjoys being chased, and won, and loved by her counterpart.  The whole dating game is just that-- a chase.  It's part of the picture of Christ and the church.  We want... We NEED a God who will Love us forever and we are hungry for Him. We are hungry for satisfaction in this life and we long to be chased by this God.  He is chasing us, to win us, to Love us completely, to give us total satisfaction in Him. There is none apart from Him.  and Jesus Christ came to make it possible to be with Him, possible to choose Him, to see Him, to be with Him, to Love Him in return. He made it possible to be won by Him which is freedom.  I'm happy to be caught up in Him-- He is sheer delight.
