To have God speak to the heart is a majestic experience, an experience that people may miss if they monopolize the conversation and never pause to hear God's responses. - Charles Stanley...

Meaning of Captive One who is charmed or subdued by beauty or excellence one whose affections are seized, or who is held by strong ties of love. 3. One who is ensnared by love or flattery, or by wiles. Timothy 2:26

The word captivity in the Bible is mentioned 13 times.

Today the word captive came to my mind as I meditated with music that had beautiful lyrics that touched my soul.

As I drifted into deep tranquil thoughts of Elohim... I thought I want to go to Him but I am a prisoner of this earth... Our souls are held here captive by our human existence. Although life is precious and should be treasured ... It’s our soul and spiritual health that should be more important to us than the air we breathe... Our spiritual journey, our spiritual heart, and our soul will draw us into the most amazing journey we can ever encounter... One day our soul will leave our earthly bodies.. our soul will be freed to love far beyond anything we will ever experience here on earth... it’s a love that has no words that can adequately describe it... I can say I have felt and tasted a teaspoon of His sweetness.. and my love for Him could not be contained...

I can only imagine when the day comes, that my soul is free from human bondage ... My soul will dance with the One who held me first. The One that breathed life into my soul, and the One who loved me far greater than I ever dreamed possible...

It's Him.

He has freed my soul... but my earthly body is not ready to let me go... It holds my soul captive until the day comes that my beloved calls me home... Our body does not realize that our souls can not be held captive forever ...

We are fooling ourselves if we feel we are in control... Our earthly life is only ours on a temporary loan.. It's our soul that travels with us from birth to death and beyond... Our soul belongs to Him!!!

The question becomes how healthy is your soul? Are you filling it with beautiful memories? Are you spreading His message of LOVE? Are you falling in love with Elohim? Do you have a desire in your heart to know Him on an intimate deeper level??

Or will your soul lack your spiritual compass when that inevitable time comes?

We do have choices?

My soul is His, it's always been His...❤❤❤

What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? Matthew 16:26
