"Lord, You Seduced Me"

"He knew the depth of his love for the Holy God of Israel. The preacher had no other way to explain his irreversible connection to the Lord. He had no other terms to describe his irresistible attraction to the Word of God. He had no other image to explain a calling so strong that he could not let it go. So the preacher admitted it aloud. He had been allured by an altogether winsome God. He had been wooed by the heavenly Suitor's attractive promises. He had been smitten by the magnificence of Jehovah.

The preachers name was Jeremiah. He really said it. "Lord, You seduced me!" He really meant it."

"O Lord, You have enticed me, and I was enticed" Jeremiah 20:7

"And so the Lord reveals His beauty to you little by little. He grants little samples of His grace so you will "taste and see that the Lord is good" (Psalm 34:8) He wants what every good husband wants in a bride - that she be comfortably content in His love yet genuinely desirous of deeper intimacy."
