oneyellowbird.

So I got this blog... Hmmm. Maybe I should have thought about what I wanted to write on a blog before I got one. Oh, well. A bit too late for that.

I guess I could start out by explaining the title of my blog. "One Yellow Bird". Not your ordinary blog name. In Greek mythology a yellow bird was the symbol of one's true love. In poetry or prose a yellow bird signified the one and only person who would satisfy the desires of the speaker or actor/actress.

And that's my Jesus.

More than anything else this year I have learned that my Jesus is my one true love, the only One who can satisfy the cravings of my heart. I have a wondering heart - a heart that has been challenged frequently over the past year. I have sought other "lovers" to comfort me in seasons of loneliness - friends, family, food, success, recognition.

But none can compare to my Jesus.

He has crashed against me with His fierce love. He has woken my out of my complacency.

Yeah, Jesus, if it's just You and me, for the rest of time, that would be more than enough.
