The Bride
Dear Bride,
Are you ready? The wedding day is fast approaching. Are you prepared? Does your heart flutter, jump, and leap with excitement at the anticipation of the day your bridegroom returns? Oh dear beloved bride, why do give your love away to lovers who do nothing but scar, stain and tatter you? Look into the eyes of your Lover. Look! Do they not consume you with passion? He desires you. He is desperate for your love. He delights in you even in your weakness. He is jealous for you. He will not share you with another. You have stolen His heart. Let him steal your heart. Let him make you lovesick for Him. Let Him make you pure. Let Him clothe you in righteousness. Let Him marry you.
Can you hear it? The wedding processional has started. Make yourself ready, for He is coming, your bridegroom, your lover. Eagerly await His return, with mourning, and weeping until he returns. Cry out in desire for Him. This I promise you; no one else will satisfy, so stop chasing after other lovers and chase after Him.
The Spirit and the Bride say come!
Revelation 22:17

Leah - this is so beautiful, and so true!!
I was speaking at camp this weekend for the All Girls retreat, and I shared with them the example that this life we live, the path we walk is, just like the wedding aisle. Keep your eyes focused on your groom, and know that His eyes are solely on you. No bride ever stopped to see what people in the audience at her wedding were wearing, or doing, or decided to stray off that wedding aisle path, but kept walking focused, to get to the altar.
I was speaking in the new Dining Hall, and Rachel was there for moral support, so I shared the example of her & Scott just getting married in the dining hall, and how they only had eyes for each other as she came down that aisle. After I said it, really loud from the audience, some girl whispered loudly "Somebody got married in HERE??". LOL!
