Devine Romance: smooth as molasses, sweet as honey, taste like chocolate

 DEVINE ROMANCE PIECE

the Bridegroom (Christ) and His Bride (the church)

Smooth as molasses, sweet as honey, taste like chocolate

By telle wild rose 2025

Theme song: Tyshan Knight - In Love

I know a special secret

Every bit is worth the wait

Let's keep some mystery for now,

The reward worth the journey.

Ive heard soft devine whispers in my ear,

Guiding my every steps, never wavering,

Felt the touch of Spirit on my soul,

Igniting an unquenchable fire deep within.

I know of a love, well deep,

And it pours into me till i overflow,

Inviting others to partake in His love,

Not to be hoarded but shared.

For His love is smoother than molasses,

Taste sweeter than honey,

The savor of rich dark chocolate,

The sweet aroma drawing me in to His orbit.

Ive left the earth and transcended to heaven above,

In the glorious presence of the King of Kings,

His devotion is just as clear as mine,

That made the Bridegroom cry out as thus:

“ Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck.

How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! how much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all spices!

Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: honey and milk are under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.”

And me, the bride finally says:

I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine.

symbolism explained;

1. The “chain” or “necklace” metaphor here is especially rich:

Captivation / Bondage of Love – The chain represents a binding that is not oppressive, but delightfully binding. In the context of Christ and His bride (the Church or the soul), it symbolizes the irresistible love of Christ drawing the believer into union with Him. It’s a voluntary surrender, a heart captivated by divine love.

Adornment and Value – Chains and necklaces in ancient times were symbols of beauty, honor, and worth. Christ’s “chain” can be seen as the beautiful adornment of His covenantal love: His love doesn’t enslave; it glorifies and dignifies the bride.

Intimacy and Security – Chains can also signify connection, an unbroken link. The chain of Christ’s love binds the bride to Him in intimate, secure communion. It’s a spiritual tether that ensures the believer cannot be separated from Him.

The chain is a metaphor for Christ’s love that captivates, adorns, and securely binds His bride. It represents both the delight and the commitment of divine love—a love that is sweet, fragrant, binding, but never burdensome.

2. Love better than wine – Wine in Scripture often represents joy, celebration, and abundance. Christ’s love surpasses even the richest earthly pleasures. The bride’s love or devotion is intoxicating—not in a way that overwhelms, but in a way that brings delight, fulfillment, and spiritual ecstasy.

Fragrance of oils better than any spice – Oils and spices were prized for their aroma, healing qualities, and sacred use in worship. Here, it reflects the sacred, holy, and pleasing nature of the love between Christ and His bride. The “fragrance” suggests that true love produces a spiritual sweetness and a pleasing aroma to God—a love that is sanctifying and restorative.

Metaphorically – Line 10 expresses that the intimate, covenantal love between Christ and His bride surpasses all earthly pleasures. It’s both joyful and sacred; it’s a love that captivates the heart and nourishes the soul.

In a nutshell: it’s a line that celebrates the surpassing sweetness, richness, and sacred delight of divine love—the kind that no earthly pleasure can equal.

3. “Lips drop sweetness as the honeycomb” – Honey is a natural symbol of delight, abundance, and nourishment. This represents the sweetness and richness of love between Christ and His bride. In spiritual terms, it reflects the life-giving and satisfying nature of communion with Christ, the words of love, truth, and grace He pours into the believer’s life.

“Milk and honey under your tongue” – Milk often symbolizes nourishment and foundational growth (as in 1 Peter 2:2, “desire the pure milk of the word”). Honey represents pleasure and delight. Together, they show that the bride’s love (or the soul’s response to Christ) is both nourishing and joyous, sustaining spiritual life and growth.

“Fragrance of your garments like the fragrance of Lebanon” – Lebanon was famed for its cedars and aromatic trees. Fragrance in Scripture often symbolizes a life pleasing to God (e.g., offerings, incense). Here, it reflects that the bride’s life, adorned with love and devotion, is a fragrant offering to Christ—a visible and spiritual delight.

In short: Verse 11 portrays the intimate, nourishing, and delightful experience of divine love. Christ’s love (or the bride’s love in response) is sweet, sustaining, and aromatic—it invigorates the soul, nourishes the spirit, and delights both God and the believer.

The God who sees: sees even ME

The God who sees: Nicole mullen

For the women who feel unseen, or fogotten, single, widowed or childless, you are in good company. 

Here in Kansas,the  heartland crossroads, no matter your background, or trial you are facing, we can all find something in common as christian women. 

Prairie Faith: Single Women, Widows, and the Silent Trials of Kansas Christianity

Introduction

Kansas history is often told through families and pioneers, but woven between those lines are the untold stories of women who bore their trials without husband, without children, or without the protection of a household. These women of faith—single, widowed, or childless—helped shape Kansas Christianity with a different kind of strength: a reliance on God alone.

---

The Single Women on the Frontier

Some women came west unwed, answering the call of adventure, land, or ministry. They taught in one-room schoolhouses, boarded with strangers, and lived in isolation. For many, faith became both companion and calling. The Bible was not just a book—it was friend, counselor, and lifeline.

Poetic reflection:

Alone at dusk, with lantern dim,
She sang her prayers, her only hymn.
No ring, no vow, no earthly claim,
Yet heaven knew her by her name.

---

The Widows of the Plains

Life on the Kansas frontier was harsh, and many women were widowed young. With husbands lost to war, illness, or accident, they were left to hold farms together and raise children alone—or to stand truly alone. Their survival testified to grit; their faith testified to grace.

Poetic reflection:

The plow stands silent, the chair sits bare,
She lifts her grief in steadfast prayer.
Widow’s hands on soil and seed,
Trusting the Lord to meet her need.

---

Childless Women of Faith

In a culture that prized motherhood, childless women often felt invisible. Yet many found their callings as caregivers, midwives, teachers, or missionaries. They poured spiritual motherhood into others’ children, becoming anchors of faith for communities. Their legacy lives not in bloodlines, but in souls shaped by their devotion.

Poetic reflection:

No cradle rocked, no lullaby,
Yet countless children passed her by.
She sowed the Word where love could start,
A mother to the broken heart.

---

Missionary and Ministry Women

Catholic sisters and Protestant missionaries embodied this pattern most clearly: unmarried, childless, but spiritually fruitful. They opened schools, tended hospitals, and gave Kansas its first institutions of care. Their “empty arms” were filled with the work of Christ’s kingdom.

---

Conclusion: The Crossroads of the Overlooked

In Kansas, single women, widows, and childless women were not footnotes—they were forerunners of faith. They carried burdens often unseen, but their prayers and perseverance formed the backbone of Christian witness on the prairie. Their lives remind us that God writes powerful stories through those the world overlooks.

The broken cistern: the Healer's well of love

Poem version 1: 

 Once I was a cistern, cracked and dry,

A vessel forgotten beneath a sunless sky.
No water lingered in my hollowed seams,
No overflow to nourish others’ dreams.

The potter came with hands that heal,
And molten gold from his heart did spill.
He poured it slow, filling every breach,
Tracing each crack with love beyond reach.

His touch turned fractures to veins of light,
Transforming emptiness into radiant might.
Where sorrow had lingered, molten gold now flows,
And the cistern, once broken, beautifully glows.

A well of love within me springs,
Filled by the God of living things.
Not for myself alone does it pour,
But to the thirsty, the lost, and more.

Now I overflow with gentle streams,
Bearing His love into others’ dreams.
From cracked to whole, from dry to free,
The potter’s gold has reshaped me.

Love was  never meant to be contained. it was meant for OVERFLOW and to give it away unto others. a well of love springing up and everyone allowed to draw from it freely. This is what Jesus does when He comes into our lives. he fixes whats broken, takes in the foolish things of the world to confound the wise, and blesses and exhalts us before our enemies. We, who were once indarkness but now enlightened are tasked with being sent  into the world to be a sining light to those still in the darkness and show them the way, Jesus Christ. 

in my churches most recent episode "well of love'' we see this imagery beautifully!

Poem version 2

I was a cistern, shattered and dim,
Cracks like canyons swallowed my rim.
No water lingered; no laughter ran through,
Only echoes of thirst in a hollow hue.

Then the Potter came, hands molten with grace,
Gold dripping slow into each broken space.
Each fissure kissed, each scar made to shine,
His love a fire, both fierce and divine.

Molten gold pooled in my aching hollow,
Filling the voids I had learned to follow.
Warmth spread like rivers beneath my skin,
A current of life flowing deep within.

And suddenly I could hold again,
A vessel remade from sorrow and pain.
No longer dry, no longer contained,
His love overflowed through every vein.

Now I am a well, brimming and bright,
Pouring His mercy, His luminous light.
What was once broken now breathes and sings,
And overflows the world with golden wings.

Restoration Ministries Podcast: Boundaries

🌻 New Podcast Episode: Boundaries

Ladies, have you ever thought about your life like a backyard fence? 🪵
Our pastor shared a powerful word this week on boundaries—how God doesn’t set them to box us in, but to set us free.

From neighborhood property lines to the Ten Commandments, he showed us how boundaries keep us safe, rooted, and able to live fully in God’s grace. He reminded us:

• Boundaries = freedom, not chains.

• The commandments aren’t rules to crush us—they’re fences that protect us.

• Taking God’s name in vain isn’t just about words, but about how we live and represent Him.

• Testimonies are unshakable truths no one can take from you.

It was raw, real, and so timely for women here in Wichita who juggle family, work, faith, and the pressure of expectations.

🎧 Don’t miss this episode! Tune in and be encouraged to see boundaries not as burdens, but as God’s way of keeping us safe, strong, and free.

With love,
Telle Wild Rose

Big mama see, just be, a poem by telle wild rose 

Homemade lemonade, tea spillin’

Kitchen cookin’, secrets hide 

Rugs with shadows,bones hidden

Take a walk with me and come along for the ride.

Step inside to the fairytale, 

Of monsters in the form of ailing minds, 

Mental illness they call it, brain short circuit fail 

Family reunions, thinly veiled insults kinds. 

Word through the grapevines is this,

Big mama see, do nothin’ ,she; just be. 

Inviting abusers to the table, what is this?

Everyone falls in line, monkey do what monkey see. 

Big mama isnt a person but a system,

Of dysfunction, and no accountability.

If anyone breaks out, they have no longer part with them

The black sheep, the scape goat, no one wants to be he. 

Mind shatters under pressure,

Fragmented, and broken silence, what sthe aim?

Trust faded, heart jaded and no more joyful pleasure of family get together,

Outcast, depression, anxiety, and trauma responses are all that remain. 

Big mama see,

Be quiet.

Be compliant, just be

Be moldable, and always with brokenness, hide it. 

To the system of Big mama, blackness before safety,

I say only this, 

Youre course has run the race, the end is near quickly,

And freedom exposes all in song, in dance, in words, just like this.

Sacred Love Code TM

 

The Sacred Love Code™ – Writing with Holy Intimacy

In a world where love stories are often cheapened, oversexualized, or stripped of deeper meaning, I felt a calling to write romance differently. That calling gave birth to The Sacred Love Code™, a set of boundaries and principles I follow in all of my storytelling, poetry, and creative works that explore love, intimacy, and desire.

The Sacred Love Code™ is more than just a guideline—it’s a heart posture toward love. Inspired by the biblical Song of Songs and God’s design for covenant intimacy, it frames romance and affection in a way that is poetic, reverent, and purposeful.

Why I Created It

I wanted a standard I could write by—one that allowed me to explore the beauty of intimacy without crossing into what feels cheap, graphic, or exploitative. At the same time, I didn’t want to erase passion, longing, or the beauty of human connection. The Sacred Love Code™ allows me to write stories that honor God, celebrate love, and still capture the full depth of romance and desire—just as God intended.

What It Means in My Writing

When you see Sacred Love Code™ Certified on my work, it means:

1. Sex is treated as sacred, not shameful – never crude or graphic, but honored as part of God’s design.

2. Affection is intentional and worshipful – tenderness and closeness are written with reverence, never cheapened.

3. Bodies are beloved, not idolized – beauty is celebrated without objectification.

4. Desire is holy, not carnal – longing is expressed with emotional and spiritual meaning, not lust.

5. Love reflects God’s heart – every act of affection points back to faithfulness, devotion, and redemption.

6. Romance unfolds with purpose – attraction grows through trust, spiritual unity, and maturity.

These six principles form the Sacred Love Code™—a promise that my words will never exploit love, but will always reflect its deepest purpose.

For Other Writers Who Want to Use the Sacred Love Code™

The Sacred Love Code™ is not just for me—it’s a framework any writer can adopt. If you long to create love stories that are passionate yet pure, tender yet powerful, then this code can serve as your compass.

Using the Sacred Love Code™ means committing to storytelling that is:

• God-honoring

• Emotionally rich

• Purpose-driven

• Never shallow or exploitative

By carrying the Sacred Love Code™ Certified mark, you’re letting your readers know that your work handles romance with the dignity, beauty, and holiness it deserves.

---

✨ Whether you’re a writer or a reader, my hope is that the Sacred Love Code™ reminds us that love was never meant to be cheap—love was meant to be sacred.
