A Love Poem from the Bridegroom by Christine Beadsworth
Psalm 45 says 'my tongue is the pen of a ready writer' and
if we will listen carefully, our Beloved is always penning love letters to His
Bride.This one I heard in Nov 2013 touched my heart afresh this morning:
My love shelters, My love leads My love strengthens, My love
feeds My love carries, My love woos My love calls you, What will you
choose?
The hustle and bustle of markets and malls? the pastimes that
thrill you, the pleasures that call? Or will you follow wherever I
lead, outside the city where souls are in need? Will you share My dishonor
and shun men’s' acclaim? Will you live for My glory and lift up My
name? Will you follow the path that is scattered with thorns where the
voice of man mocks you, where sin's weight is borne? For the Love that is
calling is Love sent to die, Who, for love of the lost, gladly was
crucified, will you drink of the cup that was poured out through Me? Will
you lay down your life, filled with joy, willingly?
I wait for your
words of surrender, “I will” and two become one as My Word is
fulfilled! The day of My gladness of heart has now come! the Father has
found one well fit for the Son, Unveiling her born from the cleft in My
side, I say to the world, “Behold now My Bride!”
