Are you a Servant or a Bride of Christ

Are you a servant or a Bride of Christ

 

To be a bride of Christ we first become obedient, holy servants first of all. But as we fall madly in love with our Creator, we want to worship Him all the time. We may have busy lives, but that doesn't mean we live our lives separately from our love of God. Everything we do, we do for Him and the more we live for God alone, the more you will experience intimacy with Him. We live out the book in the bible the Song of Songs. And many do and don't know it. They say the book of Psalms is the male version of being in love with God. I will write down the words God spoke to me about men who are brides of Christ, because He explains it better than I can. (Of course). 

Gods' words; Not many men would read the Psalms as it calls emotions and not practical, the way they put it, next to women.... my king is not like a true man in that He is not all man, but God the Second Person, which shows David is in love with God, not the other way around. And for both men and women referred to as His brides is more real and in the spirit, which has many facets to explore. The real essence is God coming down as man, this is how it should be read, but man depicted himself more important than he suppose. 

I thought I write it down, because I don't think men realise how personal the love of God can be for both men and women. Men don't become effeminate as some suppose. But it does bring out loving qualities not just for God, but our fellow man as well. A man learns to be gentle and kind, but no way a coward. To really follow Jesus you rely on His strength, because what He gets His brides to do is not for the fainthearted, but He challenges us to climb higher and higher as high as we can go, so that our love is so noticeable to the world. We are different to others, because our light shines so much brighter and winning souls over to God becomes one of the most important roles we play. Bringing people over to meet Him through our own love first. People receive a glimpse of Him by our actions, our words and even the way we dress. Loving God is the most exciting thing in the world. And few believe it because they don't lift their eyes to God and find out for themselves. You learn to love and honour yourself more, into the bargain. Not the vain love, but a true liberating love of self, all because He reveals His love to you in those quiet times you set aside for Him. 

It doesn't mean you will be perfect, but you will be the best you can be, despite all the flaws, God looks at your beauty of Him in you. And it does come at a price. The closer you are to Him the greater the cost, but so is the reward of intimacy. Without intimacy with God heaven would be a lonely place.

 

Prayer is so powerful and we need to pray for everybody not just our family.
