Without Spot Or Blemish…

Dear Handmaidens, do you dream of the day that you will stand beside the man who God has called you to marry? I know I did. How do you think your husband will feel with you standing there beside him, dressed in a gorgeous white gown knowing that forever from this day forth you will be his and his alone? Will you be feeling happy that you are truly a handmaiden of the LORD and kept yourself exclusively as a treasure for your husband, or will you have some deep regret? Did you let go of the vision Christ has for us to be a holy bride, without spot or blemish…both for Him and your husband?

God knows that the desire of our hearts as women will be to give ourselves completely for the first time to our husband. That is His plan for us. Keeping ourselves pure in thought and deed will be so worth it when we finally become one with our husband. It is our Lord’s desire for us for He wants what will make us happiest. Honour and purity are such precious things in the Lord’s sight. It ultimately will play a big part in the foundation of your marriage and ministry as a godly wife and mother. May you keep yourself spotless and without blemish so that as you stand before God, your husband and family, you can stand without regret or shame.

May your husband on your wedding day be able to exclaim as Solomon did: “Behold, you are fair my love, you have doves eyes behind your veil….there is no spot in you!” Solomon 4:1 and 7 And may you delight in this, and may it enthrall your soul, as you know this to be true.

 ‘As an angel’

 

You are as an angel   

Standing by my side,

An angel clothed in satin,

Veiled in a gossamer of white.

It cannot hide your beauty

And the love that’s in your eyes,

My Darling, my sweetheart,

And my bride.

Your eyes are gently misting

As they hold onto my gaze,

And I see there our past together,

I can see our future days

In the love that holds the promise

That forever you’ll be true,

And my eyes drink in the image-

The image that is you.

I hear you softly pledging

Your life to me in vows,

But I cannot take my eyes off you

For Darling, even now

It seems that Heaven’s here on earth

And you, Dear hold the key,

For you are as an angel,

You’re an angel to me.
