Poem: The Bride Of Christ by D Schenfeld
All in white she stands, Earth's dark night is over!
She turns to face the Son of Man,
With a look that shames the stars!
Pure & spotless, holy, clothed in Love & Glory!
What has made her beautiful?
What has made her ready?
Her garments sparkle, with the jewels of martyr's tears,
The faith-filled prayers of saints~
Throughout the ages, her sweet perfume.
His heart is beating faster, His eyes burn with Love's desire.
All the water in creation,
Can't put out this holy fire!
What has made her beautiful?
What has made her ready?
She gave her life away~
To be One with Him.
She gave her life away, to make Him known.
To reveal His love & mercy,
Flowing from God's throne.
She gave her life away, to proclaim salvation's plan;
His gracious blood's atoning,
Reaching down to sin- cursed man.
So, that ALL may enter in,
Heaven's gates are opened wide!
A Worthy, Glorious King & by His side,
A Victorious Bride!
Tried in the fire, Now shining as gold,
They gave their life away & gained a wealth untold!
(It will be worth it all, when we see Jesus! By D. Schenfeld 2008. A gift to the Body of Christ, copy it if you like.)

For me I have put my desires, my hope, even my dreams aside, I have as the poem says given my life away so that Christ can live through me.
The scripture says Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. Rom. 12:1.
It is as binding as marriage and just as in our marriages we do not live for ourselves any more, but are commented to our spouse.
That does not mean that we loose our person hood, but we live our lives out in the constraints of the marriage bond. In this since we have died to our old life of just living for our selves. that is why the scripture talks about the mystery that the whole marriage covenant represent.

~ Longing Bride ~
"The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!"
And let him who hears say, "Come!"
And let him who thirsts come, whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely."
Revelation 22:17
~ Longing Bride ~
The Spirit & the Bride say, come
