A Divine Romance is:

“He will cover you with His feathers and under His wings you will find refuge (Psalm 91:4).”
3. …divine sustenance.
“…and my God will supply all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19).”

“Cast all your anxiety of Him for He cares for you (I Peter 5:7).”
5. …a divine blessing.
“Praise be to the God and Father of our LORD Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in Christ (Ephesians 1:3).”
6….a divine knowing.
“O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise. You perceive my thoughts from afar; before a word is on my tongue you know it completely (Psalm 139:1-2; 4).”
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).”

“He makes all things beautiful in His time (Ecclesiastes 3:11).”
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path (Proverbs 3:5-6).”

10. …falling more in love with Jesus every day!!!
“Seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be added to you as well (Matthew 6:33).”
