Lord, You've called us to be the Bride of Christ: "a pure Bride", a
Bride beautifully dressed" for our Saviour - "the Bride, the wife of the
Lamb" (Ephesians 5:25-33; 2 Corinthians 11:2; Revelation 21:2,9). May
we hear the voice of Jesus, saying to us, "You are beautiful, my love."
May we worship Him: "You are beautiful, my Beloved, truly lovely" (Song
of Solomon 1:15-16).
Lord, help us never to think, “We are blessed because we are obedient.” Help us always to say, “We are blessed because You love us and Jesus died for us.” Your love for us, Jesus’ death for us: This is where the blessing comes from – and it’s where our obedience comes from! We think of Your great love for us. We think of Jesus, crucified for us. We say, “Lord, You love me. Help me to love You.” We say, “Jesus, You died for me. Help me to live for You.” This is how Your blessing comes to us – You show us how much You love us, You put Your love into our hearts, the obedience grows stronger – and so does the blessing!
