Scripture
Old Testament
- Isaiah
- Isaiah 54:5-7 ( Future Blessings ) [ Link ]
- 5 For your Maker is your husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and your Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.
- 6 For the LORD has called you as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when you were refused, said your God
- 7 For a brief moment I forsook you, but with great compassion I will bring you back.
- Isaiah 54:5-7 ( Future Blessings ) [ Link ]
New Testament
- Ephesians
- Ephesians 5:25-32 ( Wives and Husbands ) [ Link ]
- …25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her
- 26 to sanctify her, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,
- 27 and to present her to Himself as a glorious church, without stain or wrinkle or any such blemish, but holy and blameless.
- 28 In the same way , husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
- 29 Indeed, no one ever hated his own body, but he nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church.
- 30 For we are members of His body.
- 31 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”…
- 32 This mystery is profound, but I am speaking about Christ and the church.
- 33 Nevertheless, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband
- Ephesians 5:25-32 ( Wives and Husbands ) [ Link ]
Beloved
Heaven will forever be your soul’s tent.
The house that the son builds.
A home with many rooms for his beloved. ( John 14:2-3 )
2 In My Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and welcome you into My presence, so that you also may be where I am.…
May your maker remain your most trusted provider, guardian, and confidant.
May your soul cry out to him.
Have him get you cleaned and prepared.
May nothing take his place.
May you make time to be loved, cared for, and nourished by him.
May your make time to be alone with him.
Awaiting his gentle spirit and counsel.
May he single handedly turn away each reproach.
May he himself answer each voice that carelessly rises against you.
As a watchman, Eternal Judgement awaits each soul and spirit that cunningly colludes to take you and anyone in your care into captivity and slavery.
