I Thought I Found my Brother...

Song of Solomon 3:1-2

By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broadways I will seek him, whom my soul loveth: I sought him but I found him not...

I had been searching diligently for my brothers and my sisters...those whom my soul did love....and from afar off in the streets of the city I thought I recognized them. I made my way closer. I ran toward them. As I drew closer and closer, there was affliction and great stones thrown toward me. I elevated and overcame the stumbling blocks in the path. My vision became clearer as I I drew near and when I reached those whom my soul did love, I found that there was a great resemblance of my brothers and sisters whom my soul did love  but I found they were NOT my brothers and sisters after all.

Yet in the meantime was the scripture fulfilled in Isaiah 65:1
I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.

....and

Ezekiel 34:16
I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.

And though my soul has been greatly afflicted, troubled on every side, persecuted; yet it has not been destroyed. So that the life of Christ may be made manifest in my body and redound to the Glory of God.

I will continue to be all things to all men so that in all things Christ may be glorified!! For the Heavens do rejoice over that one lost soul being saved... which one I once was...to God be the Glory.
