An Invitation Into the Innermost Chamber - Brian and Candice Simmons - Apr 23, 2025
Draw Me Into Your Heart
The call of God burning in your heart today is more than just a desire to "do something" for God. It is the uncontainable, unstoppable, passionate longing to meet with the Lover of your soul and hear his heartbeat for your life. Here is the prayer of awakened desire:
"Draw me into your heart. We will run away together into the king's cloud-filled chamber..." (Song of Songs 1:4 TPT)
The Shulamite in the verse is asking to be drawn away in sacred intimacy with the king—drawn out of her comfort zone, drawn away from sin and self, into the loving arms of her beloved.
You are the one who is loved by Jesus in this story. Be careful not to miss that and assume the lyrics of this love song are for someone else, somehow excluding you. You are the Shulamite, while Jesus is the King.
Nothing else can satisfy the thirst she feels for her lover. She is ready to make a break from everything else to follow him alone. In spite of her weakness, she longs to be drawn to him and to be taken away from all that is unclean and impure. She has tasted his spirit-kiss and the fragrance of his anointing, but she longs to be drawn with even greater power and glory. Is this your cry today?
When we ask to be drawn after the Son of God, we are asking that he be exalted to the highest place in our hearts. The maiden recognizes that spiritual growth is a response to God's drawing love as it tugs at her heart. None of us seek God apart from his tender influence on our spirits first drawing us toward him. His touch draws us to his heart, as he longs for us to know him as he truly is.
"The only way people come to me is by the Father who sent me—he pulls on their hearts to embrace me. And those who are drawn to me, I will certainly raise them up in the last day." (John 6:44 TPT) READ MORE
