Woooooo! I’d be pumped to tell you guys all about the proposal and everything when we reunite (which shall be amazing!) and how we met but for now I will just say that I’m just so looking forward to spending our lives together! … wait no, I have to tell you more im just too excited!!!:
We had known each other for a long time and were actually seeing each other during the summer. After camp it has just been amazing! As we have gotten to know each other better and better, we’ve spent more and more time together and my love for my, now fiancé, kept growing I knew that I had to make a move. I had actually known for a long time that we would be together forever. I think some of you figured out I was engaged already while you were at LDP this summer but I just wanted to fill the rest of you in.
Anyway’s Im really looking forward to being together again cause the next time that’ll happen is our wedding day so it sometimes feels long but it’s gonna be so worth it because I know that my fiancé is perfect for me, like PERFECT. Like He is WAY better than I ever imagined! You guys will love Him!
He? Him?
Yup.
One name.
Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jesus has been blowing my mind lately. I NEED his love and so I plead with him to show me more, and you know what? He does! (as he promises Jer. 29:13-14) As I’ve been talking with Him, He has been giving me some even bigger revelations of how I am His bride, we are His bride. You have got to get this: YOU are the beloved of the God of the universe. YOU, get to marry Jesus! It’s nothing sexual or anything like that at all. God is not a sexual being after all, it’s way better than that! But God chose the image of a marriage because of the picture of intimacy we understand when we think about it that way. God desires to have our love completely - for Him to be our single love - and it becomes so easy when we know how much He loves us.
As I have been looking at the bible and studying, I found this video which talks about what I’ve been learning. Check it out!
Crazy right?! The king of kings has proposed to YOU, He paid YOUR bride price for the opportunity for us to say yes to Him. He has sent us His Spirit as our comforter and helper until we meet Jesus face to face!
Every day lately has seemed like there is so much I want to get done and so little time to do it all! Can anyone relate? It starts getting hard to spend time alone with Jesus, you start going through your day forgetting about His presence completely and things get stressful. Isn’t it funny how stress always follows those first two.
Ephesians 1:10-11 [He planned] for the maturity of the times and the climax of the ages, to unify all things and head them up and consummate them in Christ, [both] things in heaven and things on the earth.
In Him we also were made [God’s] heritage (portion) and we obtained an inheritance; for we had been foreordained (chosen and appointed beforehand) in accordance with His purpose,… (AMP)
As I have been finding that God’s love for me is real - that He would want to make ME heritage, that he would want ME to be united with Him in heaven - all of my stresses seriously just fade to nothing and all of my worries are gone! Perfect love truly does cast out all fear! (1 John 4:18) God desired to make YOU heritage, so that YOU would be united with Him in heaven! I’m so excited to make myself totally ready for the wedding day when Jesus comes to get me; and that preparation and growing passion for Jesus is just between you and Him! You don’t have to do anything, you can just sit and BE with Him and fall deeper in love with Him!
It will you blow your mind how many parallels there are to what Jesus did at the ‘last supper’ and the culture of weddings in those days. It sure did for me, there was so many that I didn’t know were there and they are quite significant because it gives us so much better understanding of His love for us!
