I Know What You Love
“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you” (Isaiah 60:1).
Oh, daughter, what do you love?
I know what it is, you know. I know what it is you love.
There is a daughter who lifts her hands and wonders if I see her. There is a daughter who feels reckless with her heart, who is not sure if it is what she can trust. There is a girl who is afraid to call Me “Home.”
One day you will be gathered. One day what you love will be made even more clear. One day all hands will be joined—not one hand forgotten. All hands raised. All voices lifted. All hearts opened. All souls rescued.
Oh, girl, I rescue.
There will be praising, and your glory will shine. Daughter, I know what you love. Ask Me. Search Me. Listen to Me. Your name is written—your character formed yet continuing to be made new.
Oh, my Delight, the daughter I rescue, let me show you more of Me. Let Me show you where I am and how I speak to you. Let Me grasp your hand. See Me beholding you. I show you what you love.
And then, daughter, do those things you love with Me. What I’ve given for you to love is my heart in you. Try it out. See more of Me. Hear Me more. Watch Me move in you. Come on now. I’ve got you.
I’ve got you.
Rescued One, you are redeemed. Beautiful One, you shine so brightly, with Me. You are here, here with Me. I gather you. I am for you.
You are my desire.

“I chase you, and you can run away. But you can chase Me, too, and I will never turn away from you. I woo you. I desire you. But girl, when you forget me, I don’t stop desiring you. I don’t stop loving you. I do not do as the world does. I am not fickle and impatient. I am not distracted. I know who I love.” ⇒ Let the words from this 3-day Loop devotional refresh and realign your heart today. And if it blesses you, will you consider sharing it with another sister?
Your spiritual gifts are a blessing to this world. Is this something you believe, truly, in your heart? Or do you, somewhere inside, believe that your gifts have little value, that your impact is small, that your worth is tied to your external achievements? Sister, know this: Before God formed you in the womb, He knew you. And before you were born, He consecrated you … (see Jer. 1:5). These gifts He’s given you are not an accident, and they are not of little value. They have divine purpose. If you’re not sure what your spiritual gifts are, I encourage you to go through this in-depth assessment on Rapt. I believe it will help open your eyes to see how God uniquely designed you to display His glory.
If you struggle with feeling that you are not enough, know that you are not alone. Far from it! But there is an answer to those feelings—the truth that is Jesus. Here’s how one writer puts it: “Jesus is enough. Does that sound cliche to you? Stop for a moment. Take a deep breath. And hear this. Jesus is enough. … So, what do I need to do to drop the yoke I’ve been carrying and instead take on the Lord’s? The good news is, it’s not one more thing for you to add to your to-do list or to be ‘enough’ about. It’s abiding with Him. Jesus tells us to learn from Him as He is a gentle and humble teacher. He’s kind.”
