We are the Bride!

“I am in love with the man who came and gave his life for me. He is in love with me” This quote from the song “In Love”” by Talitha Waller has caused me to do quite alot of thinking these past two days. I have heard of couples who after they are Betrothed, they will separate and not see each other until the wedding day. The bride does not know the day that they are getting married. She anxiously awaits, and prepares for the day when she will the sound of the trumpet and her bridegroom calling out to her telling her that this is the day they are to be married. This represents how it is with us and Yeshua, we do not know when Yeshua is coming back, but we are preparing and awaiting the sound of the trumpet upon his return.
Think about how the bride feels awaiting the return of her bridegroom. Excited? You bet! She goes through everyday thinking “”Will this be the day?” “”When is he coming”” “”Ohhh I can’t wait until he comes!’” “”How come he has not come yet?”” She cannot wait until her bridegroom comes to sweep her off her feet because she is totally and 100% in love with him!!! She is lovesick for him!
Do we feel this way about Yeshua’s return to earth? Do we get as excited as the bride waiting for her bridegroom? Are we so in love with Yeshua that we wake up every day going” Is this the day? Is Yeshua coming today?! I can’t wait until he comes!” Do we anxiously prepare for his return? Are we so in love with him that we are giddy with excitement?
We need to be more like the Bride, we need to be so in love with Yeshua that we wake up every day anxiously awaiting his return, and we need to be so in love with him that we are lovesick while we are waiting for him return.
When the bride hears the sound of the trumpet upon the arrival, think of what she feels, she wants to run into the arms of her bridegroom and never let him go.
Imagine what it will be like to run into the arms of Yeshua and never let him go.
Await for the return of Yeshua with the same emotions as the bride awaiting the return of her bridegroom. Wait for him with such excitement that he cannot return fast enough!
