You're My beloved, You're My bride

Over the past few days two things have been on my mind: how I want to fall in love with a guy, and how I want to fall in love with God. There is a video that some people made that's been going around facebook of this couple's wedding, it's beautiful and adorable, but even so you can see how much both of them love God as well as each other. There is a song that Kari Jobe sings called "My Beloved" and it goes really well with everything that's going on in my head.

Come away with Me, My love

For as long as I can remember; from the time that I was a little girl, I have wanted a fairytale. Disney movies are great, but at a certain point a girl wants a real life prince to come up on a white horse and whisk her away to his magical kingdom. However the incredible thing that I'm beginning to realize is that God is that Prince. Isaiah 54:5 says "For your Maker is your Husband..."
For such a long time I have had in my mind that I must fall in love with God before a guy will come along, which in a way that is completely true, however I have had in my mind that the guy would be the ultimate prize to fall in love with, but what God is trying to show me is that HE is the prize, not the guy. Human love is only another way that God shows His love among us, not the other way around.
Everything that I have said is only a glimpse at everything swarming my mind, but now I am going to enjoy my true love in Christ as a wait patietly and expectantly for the man that God will someday bring along, through whom Christ will continue to show His love for me.


"My Beloved" by Kari Jobe


You're My Beloved
You're My Bride
To sing over you is My delight
Come away with Me My love

You're Beautiful to Me
So beautiful to Me

Under My mercy
Come and wait
Till we are standing face to face
I see no stain on you
My child




You're Beautiful to Me
So Beautiful to Me

I sing over you My song of peace
Cast all your care down at My feet
Come and find your rest in Me

I'll breathe My life inside of you
I'll bear you up on eagle's wings
And hide you in the shadow of My strength
I'll take you to My quiet waters
I'll restore your soul
Come rest in Me and be made whole

You're My beloved
You're My Bride
To sing over you is my delight
Come away with me my love
