You are my bride, dressed in white and made pure by my blood. I love you so much that I gave you my last breath on this earth so that we could be together eternally.
Here on this earth you are being transformed each day. On my potter’s wheel, I molded your heart, mind and soul. As you obey, I am making your heart faithful. Do you long for me as I long for you?
You are my loving and faithful bride. Never forget that you belong to me. With my loving and gentle hand, I will lead and care for you.
Stay faithful and do not stray. The world is a deceiver. The great deceiver longs to snatch you from my embrace. Dear one, do not be deceived. Do not let this deceiver steal your inheritance. He only comes to steal, kill and destroy.
Trust in me completely and faithfully follow me. I will lead you to paths of righteousness. I will clothe you with gold, rubies and diamonds. I will scent you with myrh . You are my beautiful bride.
Come, the banqueting table is ready. Come, lean on me and feast of my goodness. There is joy, laughing and dancing at the groom’s feast.
“So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it.” 2 Corinthians 5:9 NIV
