I am currently reading the book 62 titled "Are You Now Living as the Object of God’s Affection?"
This book has really enriched my heart. It has soaked my heart with God`s love. While working in the vineyard, it`s absolutely important that we grasp how much God loves us  and renew our strength always by this realization. This book is written mainly for the saints who believed in the gospel of the water and the Spirit and are labouring to preach this gospel all over the world.
God`s love for His workers is revealed clearly in this book. God wants us to always remain in His church, He never wants us to leave Him. Because we are lovely in His eyes, He wants to be looking upon us. Fellow saints, how much does God want us to remain in His church? When Solomon came to visit the vineyard, at that moment he saw the Shulamite woman on her horse about to leave the vineyard. He said to her "Return, return, O Shulamite;  Return, return, that we may look upon you!" (Song of Song 6:13)
There are times when we are bound by weaknesses, feeling on own that we are too weak to follow the Lord, and want to leave God and His church. But God is telling us not to leave His church, He is saying that we should not go astray but remain in the vineyard. How many times did God use the word "return" in this verse? We can see how much God loves us and how much He wants us to remain with Him because are beautiful in His eyes.
There is no love poet as beautifully written as the Song of Song. Who can describe his beloved with such wonderful expressions? I marvel at the words in this book of the Bible! This is amazing work of God! Even Romeo could not express his love for Juliet as such, nor does he love her as such. The love God has for His workers can`t even be compared to any human love.
If you believe in the gospel of the water and the Spirit and are working to preach and support its ministry, this book is written for you.
