The Good Word

"Fear not, for you will not be put to shame; and do not feel humiliated, for you will not be disgraced; but you will forget the shame of your youth, and the reproach of your widowhood you will remember no more.  For you husband is your Maker, whose name is the Lord of hosts; and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel, who is called the God of all the earth.  For the Lord has called you, like a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even like a wife of one's youth when she is rejected," Says, your God.  For a brief moment I forsook you, But with great compassion I will gather you.  In an outburst of anger I hid My face from you for a moment but with everlasting lovingkindness I will have compassion on you, " Says the Lord your Redeemer.  " For this is like the days of Noah to Me, when I swore that the waters of Noah would not flood the earth again; so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you nor will I rebuke you.  For the mountains may be removed and the hills may shake, but My lovingkindness will not be removed from you, and My covenant of peace will not be shaken." Says the Lord who has compassion on you."

Isaiah 54:4,10

All last week I was inspired by the Word, and how He cries out for us to just come.  This is a very humbling thing to be called the Bride of Christ.  To come into covenant with the one that laid down all for the sake of knowing you.
