The marriage of the bridegroom and the bride

Posted on by asherdc89

The bridegroom solicits the love of His bride by a self sacrificial act of love to save her. laying down His life. He selflessly serves, and graciously leads her. He washes, cleanses and clothes her. He clothes her with a beautiful bright white linen. Presenting her without spot and blemish as a pure virgin. And says, I am yours.

She reciprocates His love and submits to Him. Giving her life to Him, and says, I am yours.  The marriage is then consummated, and they become one. One in will, purpose and desire. Where His will becomes her’s. And she says, “thy will be done……” Matthew 6:10

The bridegroom says, “Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord God, and thou becamest mine.”

And the bride says, “My beloved is mine and I am His.  Ezekiel 16:8 and Songs of Solomon 2:16.

Since 2010, I've experienced promptings, encouragement as well as assistance from the Holy Spirit. The promptings led me to the word of God. This was the start of my own personal journey as I sought after the truth. God was then calling me as I sought after the truth according to His word. The truth was leading me to the decision to give my life to Him. I gave my life to God on the 28th of January 2012. Instantly, I had the desire to share with others the truth of God, that God is a God of love, truth, righteousness, holiness, mercy and justice. I couldn't keep something like this to myself in a lost and dying world, a world in a fallen state, and a world steeped in confusion concerning the view of who God is. My journey wasn't without struggle though, I realised through suffering we come to know God. To not only be humble, but to be empathic and not detached from people who are suffering. Sometime in 2012, God inspired me to become a writer just after my prayer to fulfill my purpose, the purpose of the reason of my existence. My prayer was a reflection of Isaiah 43:1-7. So I started writing essays pertaining to His word. I shared what I wrote with my family and friends. Therefore, the aspiration to help people globally, came with the realisation to give God the honour and the glory. To be part of making a difference. The inspiration to start blogging was impressed upon me to do. Through prayerful guidence, I believe God has led me to this point, which I believe is for His glory.
