Good Morning Beauties!
Today is the third time in this short stanza in the song we’ve heard the same truth - You Are Beautiful. After a day of preparation and following your journey for the past few days, are you beginning to see a shift in your thinking? Are you allowing God to speak to you and reveal the destructive lies of the enemy? Only then will you be able to release them and allow Truth to take its rightful place in your heart.
The Lord brought me to Psalm 45 today. That special chapter which describes the beauty of the Groom and His Bride as well as their wedding day. Most of us have dreamed of our wedding day since childhood. What are husband would be like, what our dress would look like, all the details like color schemes, flowers, and music. Our ultimate wedding day is when Christ comes for us - His Beautiful Bride. What a glorious day that will be. I can’t wait!
Below is the description of us as His Bride. Notice in verses 9 and 10, we are told to forget the past, and all those lies we’ve been told from those around us, and look to the future with our King. We are to worship Him, not those we tried to please in our past.
Take time to read each verse, slowly, visualizing yourself as His Bride. Allow your feelings to flow and remain in God’s presence as He speaks tenderly to your heart. This Beautiful Bride is YOU!
Her Royal Majesty
9 The daughters of kings, women of honor,
are maidens in your courts.
And standing beside you,
glistening in your pure and golden glory,
is the beautiful bride-to-be!
10 Now listen, daughter, pay attention, and forget about your past.
Put behind you every attachment to the familiar,
even those who once were close to you!
11 For your royal Bridegroom is ravished by your beautiful brightness.
Bow in reverence before him, for he is your Lord!
12 Wedding presents pour in from those of great wealth.
The royal friends of the Bridegroom shower you with gifts.
13 As the princess-bride enters the palace,
how glorious she appears within the holy chamber,
robed with a wedding dress embroidered with pure gold!
14 Lovely and stunning, she leads the procession with all her bridesmaids
as they come before you, her Bridegroom-King.
15 What a grand, majestic entrance!
A joyful, glad procession as they enter the palace gates!
16 Your many sons will one day be kings, just like their Father.
They will sit on royal thrones all around the world.
17 I will make sure the fame of your name
is honored in every generation, as all the people praise you,
giving you thanks forever and ever!
Love and Blessings,
Kendra
