Washing of His Word

Ephesians 5:25-27   Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. That he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of the water with the WORD, So that He might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.              
The creator stepped into His creation to make a way for fallen man to be saved. He is love and wants someone to love.  God had to turn away from Jesus because Jesus became the worst of humanity. The rapist, pedofile, murderers, thieves, he became for us.  

I have this picture from Ephesians 5:26  of a filthy, bloody, black slime covered, woman. She is weak, hurt, and as low as it gets. Her clothes were ragged, torn and soiled. Jesus in a very intimate moment, in her invite takes away the soiled garments, and he starts washing her. Taking the cloth and dipping it into the warm fresh water and wiping it over her bloody wounds, black ooze left from her heart(The Oath reference). He is not disgusted nor does he embarrass her in her vulnerable state. Nor does he take advantage. Not one of his thoughts is of himself. He is good and trustworthy. This cloth and fresh warm water is God's WORD. When He is finished, clothes her with new clothes that she could never repay. Now she is clothed in righteousness.

Romance

"Romance the the deepest thing in life, romance is deeper even than reality." G.K. Chesterton  "We all feel the riddle of the earth without anyone to point it out. The mystery of life is the plainest part of it. . . . Every stone or flower is a heiroglyphic of which we have lost the key; with every step of our lives we enter into the middle of some story which we are certain to misunderstand."

Conversations with my Husband

This is my prayer and conversation with the Lord my Husband today. I want to share this personal talk because of my previous post of frustration with dry marriages between saints and Christ. Also lack of rich personal relationship info on the web about the relation between the bride and the Groom.

"Lead me Jesus(Son of God, Word of God made flesh, Savior, Husband) guide me teach me."
You are my whole.

me: "Take me to a place i've never been before Lord."
?:"If you'll take me to a place I've never been before."

So i've decided to make a noticeable effort to get to know the Lord by talking with Him about things that I've never brought to Him. And i'll be sharing these conversations with you!

I've decided to start with my hopes. This is actually more tough because of my history with hopes.
I won't go into those but I spoke out in voice the things my spirit wants for my future. Things that God put into me, I believe he wants to hear our desires and hopes. To hear us EXPECTING. I once heard someone say that you have to be expecting a miracle for a miracle to occur.

I'm not really sure where these conversations will lead me. But I do believe that the Lord told me that He would take me to places I've never been if I take Him to places in me He's never been. So we shall see if it was His voice by the results of these conversations directed at places I've never taken Him. The reason I say we shall see if it was His voice is because I have a pretty good, and sometimes overactive imagination.

I think if you follow me in this idea, you could also benefit. In posting these maybe I'll even guide by example. Also if you have some guidance for me I am open! :)

Dry Marriage

I either don't understand or am misguided. But I think the majority of the marriages between saints and Christians are so dry.

Why would a relationship with the Supreme Being be lifeless, compared to a boyfriend or husband here on earth?!

Yes He is our Lord, Father, and Friend; but He is also our Husband and we are His bride!

I am single in physical terms, by choice to be dedicated to Jesus Christ.
I "would" love to jest with men, and flirt. To be married to a man and flirt and to be playful in the marriage. Why does the playful and flirtatious have to be dropped in the spiritual realm?

One can find almost limitless data on the web. And yet somehow it seems non existent the thought of having fun with Jesus as Husband.

WELL I am fed up with the non existent. To me this is so personal, and maybe this is why it seems nonexistent, but I am fed up with the absence.

I want a fiery passionate marriage. And Jesus fulfills my needs. He fills the emptiness and the holes.

So please join me in pursuing our Husband, lets take the time and effort in diving deeper into passion, the passion we would not have unless it had been created in us in the first place. Lets treat Him as if He were in the flesh, chase Him and court Him, Let Him speak sweetly to you as you speak sweetly and softly in His ear. Practice praising Him, praise is filled flattery. Flatter Him with the truth, tell Him how beautiful and desirable He is. These are the basics, we just have to switch realms. 

And PLEASE share your experiences with me, I have soo very much to learn. 

Although this little song I wrote wasn't written in correlation with these above thoughts, I'll throw it in anyways in hopes of it blessing you.

I guess reading it will mostly be a prayer :) But let it bless you!
