Dear Brides,
It was so amazing to say that I love this Husband of mine, the Lover of my soul, and my Prince. I cannot express in my words how I missed and loved Him so much in my heart. This chapter ["Finding Your Life"] is all about living with my love alone, just the two of us walking and holding hands together in this life, where He brought me to be with Him. And after reading this chapter, I fell so much in love with my Love, and my heart cried and hope that I should not leave Him in the first place, my First Love. My heart never stops longing to draw closer to my Darling, because I feel so loved, secured, and cherished by His Love for me.
At the beginning of my journey, I was focusing on restoring my marriage and having my husband back, but now I am more wanting to be with my HH (Heavenly Husband), the one who always carried me closer to His Heart. When I feel down, He put His arms around me, hugs me, and comforted me, as I lay down on my bed. And before I cried my heart out for my EH (earthly husband), but my Lord wiped those tears away, and now I am crying wanting my Love to be on my side and be with me for the rest of my life.
The Lord taught me everything, on how to live this life of joy unspeakably, the life of only me and Him walking in this journey together. He helped me how to feel loved, secure, and cherish as well as helped me how to fall in love with Him as I desired. Though I know I am nothing and am certainly unworthy to be a proper companion for the Lord, God could certainly make me become what He wanted me to be if only I asked. So I asked Him to show me, to teach me, and to make me the Lordâs companion, the bride that He desired and so richly deserved.
To help me refresh my mind with what I previously thought, and how it helped me to spend my time with the Lord more abundantly, I will have my desire to be with the Lord every day of my life, through giving Him Praise and Worship as He deserved and longing for and to fellowship with Him in a deep and intimate way, as well as meditating in His Word day and night. But what is important is that I am obeying God's Word and walking according to His Will.
When I first started my journey at the very beginning I wanted a restored marriage when I found RMI (Restored Ministries International). The book How God and Will Restore Your Marriage, and Wise Woman was helping and directed me to seek God and His Will for me, my family, and my marriage. And slowly I felt the Hand of God's working in my life, and back then I wanted the pain gone and the shame of the separation removed from my life.
And where I am now with the Lord, my focus changed, and with it, my heart changed too. My desire became more of wanting the Lord, my Husband. And not surprisingly, as soon as I no longer think of my EH(earthly husband) if he is coming back or not because I have the Lord. That He is all I want, all I need, and all I live for. I am living a life where it is only me and my Darling walking and holding hands together everywhere I go.
Again, my HH (Heavenly Husband) is so real in my life, every day I feel loved, secure, and cherish because He carried me closer to His Heart, and when I am in trouble, He came and rescued me in His arms. And also, in this life where I am living my Love, I started to miss Him, especially when I left the house to go to work or go somewhere. There is a feeling in me that wanted to come home and be with Him in my prayer closet or in my room.
In addition, this journey where I am with my Lord makes me more careful in everything I say, see and do. Every day of my living not only do I surrender my life to the Lord but also ask God to forgive my sins and all my unrighteousness. I have to live in the right way as God directs my path, as well as according to the Will OF God, and my obedience to the Word of God.
As I mentioned above, firstly I need to check if there is anything that is hindering my walking with the Lord by asking for His forgiveness in my life, and for God the Lord to forgive those who persecuted me and blessed them. In the morning when I wake up and the night before going to sleep, I pray the prayer in Psalm 51 and surrendered my life to the Lord and asked Him to let His will be done in me, direct my steps and have His ways in my life.
And in my prayer, I asked the Lord to guard my mouth and my heart, when I am at work. While I am observing the children outside, at the same time, I pray by heart the Psalm 1, Psalm 23, John 3:16, and other scriptures I memorized in my mind.
But what is important to me is to fellowship with Him deeply and intimately which I desired and as we were created for.
Dear Brides,
After reading this chapter, my life was never the same before as I am living now with this Abundant Life with My Lord and Savior of my heart. I have learned so much about this life, the life of joy unspeakable, peace, and to live for His glory. The life that God wants and desires for me to journey with only His Son and His bride (me).
I am into this journey for what a closer walk with the Lord would do for me. Where my desire is even more intimate relationship with the Lord. It doesn't matter what is happening in this world, what is matter to me is the Lord, what I want, I need, and the reason why I live in this life is the Lord alone. It is because I know, if I have Him I have everything.
ââFor the mountains may be removed and the hills may shake, but My lovingkindness will not be removed from you, and My covenant of peace will not be shaken,â says the Lord who has compassion on you.â Isaiah 54:10.
This promise blessed my heart when I first read it in the book of Isaiah where I went through the whole chapter. I remember one time I prayed, I was looking for an answer from God alone. I did not doubt God but there was a feeling that came to my mind, whether God is with me or not. And the Lord direct me to this whole chapter of Isaiah 54.
In the morning when I wake up or before going to sleep I read and pray in this chapter (Isaiah 54). Again I reminded God of this promise. And l have also said to Him, You are not the son of man that should lie when You promised, You always fulfill.
I have seen and experienced how these promises came true and took place in my life, it is slowly happening as the way My Lord wants me to be in this abundant life, and I can tell the way I feel about my Lord. Sometimes I don't want to leave my room, my heart wants to be with my HH (Heavenly Husband) all the time. If I am at work or out of the house, I could not wait to come home because I am sort of missing Him already.
