to be Your bride
Jesus,
My King! My Salvation! My Righteousness! I delight greatly in You! My soul rejoices in my God! For you have clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. You are so romantic! Thank you for being so tender toward me, and for making it your life's aim, as my Shoot and Arrow, to bind up my broken heart and bestow on me a crown of beauty instead of ashes. Thank you for making me the love of Your life. You are the restorer of dignity, virtue and honor to your daughters as the world tries to demoralize us. I thank you for dreams, so that I long for Your reality. Thank you for even my girlish dreams, so that You can show Your glory by surpassing them. You are the most handsome groom any girl could ask for! And as your bride, I want to follow you anywhere. Even places Jesus, that seem like the wilderness, for I know You always have a purpose. You sometimes lead to difficult places, but I know You are trustworthy. You, Jesus, are not a man, so You cannot lie. Nor are You a son of man, so You never change Your mind. You speak and always act. You promise and always fulfill. You say that You are enthralled by my beauty! Thank you for giving me that beauty through Your Cross. I want to honor You, Jesus. For You are my Lord! You even say, all glorious is the princess within her chamber, her gown is interwoven with gold. Oh! How we all long to be princesses! You have put that within our hearts! You tell us next, God, in embroidered garments we are led with joy and gladness to our King! You redeem us because of Your unfailing love! We can enter Your palace clothed in bright white because of Jesus' righteousness! God, that every girl would see that she is gorgeous! That she could see that You run to her. You are after her heart. You are our great Pursuer. I pray, God, that girls would begin to listen for Your voice, so they can hear You say, "How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh how beautiful!" I pray that your daughters would begin to surrender wholly to You, realizing that we are not really giving anything up. But we are gaining the Greatest thing to ever happen to us... You! God, help us to break our alabaster jars before You. We surrender and say yes before we know where You made lead because we know that You will go with us. Christ in us is the hope of glory. What privilege! May we walk with our hands raised for the sake of Your glory. God, help me to love Your Son above anyone and anything.
Love you! xoxo
