The bride, a princess, looks glorious
in her golden gown.
In her beautiful robes, she is led to the king,
accompanied by her bridesmaids.
What a joyful and enthusiastic procession
as they enter the king’s palace! – Psalm 45:13-15
Today I am sitting in contemplation…
in wonder even…
that He owns all of this

And He chose me.
Today I am astounded…
not to mention humbled…
that He could create this

but longed to fashion me.
Today I will revel…
and be stupefied…
that all of this declares His glory

and yet He glorifies in me.
Today I will renew my hope…
how could I not…
as I recognize that He is God Almighty

and what He desires most is me.
Dear God, I am in awe. I pray to be a worthy bride, worthy of your pursuit, worthy of your adoration. I long to be faithful and beautiful. I love you. In Jesus’ Name, Amen…
