To Him I Pledge My Love Forever
"Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest, So is my beloved among the young men. In his shade I took great delight and sat down, And his fruit was sweet to my taste. [Son 2:3] As I sat, under the cool canopy, my eyes fixed on the heavens and its blueness; For who in the skies is comparable to the LORD? Who among the sons of the mighty is like the LORD, "My beloved is dazzling and ruddy, Outstanding among ten thousand,and upon finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it. [ Psa 89:6 Son 5:10 Mat 13:46]
Oh, I am weary at times. Especially when I see all the sin, the hate, the vulgarity all around me. Shrill voices with an emptiness in their dark lifeless eyes. Shouting at me to give way to their disease and terminal illness of lust. Only through strong faith and the armor of God do I see the path of escape; a cloak of peace and of strength; and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and released us from our sins by His blood. [Rev 1:5],
And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church; He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything. [Eph 1:22, Col 1:18]
This is inclusive as He occupies First Place in my heart, O divine Master, promised Husband to His Bride; of which we wait in unbridled giddy anticipation for the arrival of the Wedding Feast. I can almost hear His voice in the distance making His way closer and closer to my arms, "His cheeks are like a bed of balsam, Banks of sweet-scented herbs; His lips are lilies Dripping with liquid myrrh. [ Son 5:13] Do you hear the sound of His voice, He is near; The officers answered, "Never has a man spoken the way this man speaks." [ Joh 7:46]
Make Your face to shine upon Your servant; Save me in Your lovingkindness.
[Psa 31:16] Grant me my place in the Body of the Bride, in the Body of Your Church, Lord Jesus, let me serve You forever!
