The Beauty Of The Bride by Steve Green



Opening my eyes I see.
The answer to my soul's great need
To belong, To be more than what I am.
A stunning new reality
Unfolding now inside of me.
I'm a part of the beauty of the bride

Refrain:
My belongingness was bought
By His faithfulness
Was purchased with His blood

Chorus:
We will see Him coming
With His arms held open wide
Captivated by the hidden
Beauty of the bride
Sooner than we known
And all at once He will appear
And we will finally be made one
At last we'll hear the
Bridegroom calling "Come"

Homeless now, I'll soon be home
Lonely now, but never alone
With a thirst to keep myself for Him
He has made his purpose clear
Choosing now to leave me here
Still I long and I wait to hear His call

Repeat Refrain & Chorus
The Spirit and the bride say "Come"
And let the one who hears say, "Come"
And to all who thirst, now let them come

We will finally be made one
When we hear the Bridegroom call
Calling "Come"

Father's Love Letter

“God allows us to experience the low points of life in order to teach us lessons we could not learn in any other way. The way we learn those lessons is not to deny the feelings but to find the meanings underlying them.”

 


My Child,
You may not know me, but I know everything about you. I know when you sit down and when you rise up. I am familiar with all your ways. Even the very hairs of your head are numbered. For you were made in My image. In Me, you live and move and have your being. For you are My offspring. I knew you even before you were conceived. I chose you when I planned creation. You were not a mistake, for all your days are written in My book. I determined the exact time of your birth and where you would live. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. I knit you together in your mother's womb and brought you forth on the day you were born. I have been misrepresented by those who don't know me. I am not distant and angry, but am the complete expression of love. And it is my desire to lavish My love on you. Simply because you are My child and I am your Father. I offer you more than your earthly father ever could. For I am the perfect Father. Every good gift that you receive comes from My hand. For I am your provider and I meet all your needs. My plan for your future has always been filled with hope. Because I love you with an everlasting love. My thoughts toward you are countless as the sand on the seashore. And I rejoice over you with singing. I will never stop doing good to you, for you are My treasured possession. I desire to establish you with all My heart and all My soul. And I want to show you great and marvelous things. If you seek Me with all your heart, you will find Me. Delight in Me and I will give you the desires of your heart. For it is I who gave you those desires. I am able to do more for you than you could possibly imagine. For I am your greatest encourager. I am also the Father who comforts you in all your troubles. When you are broken-hearted I am close to you. As a Shepherd carries a lamb, I have carried you close to My heart.


One day I will wipe away every tear from your eyes. And I'll take away all the pain you have suffered on this earth. I am your Father and I love you even as I love my Son, Jesus. For in Jesus, My love for you is revealed. He is the exact representation of My being. He came to demonstrate that I am for you, not against you. And to tell you that I am not counting your sins. Jesus died so that you and I could be reconciled. His death was the ultimate expression of My love for you. I gave up everything I loved that I might gain your love.  If you receive the gift of My Son Jesus, you receive Me. And nothing will ever separate you from My love again. Come home and I'll throw the biggest party Heaven has ever seen.
I have always been Father and will always be Father. My question is "Will you be My child?" I am waiting for you.


Love,
your DAD- Almighty Father
