Beautiful Bride
One body in Christ One flesh abiding;
strong and unifying -Flyleaf
God refers to the Church (His people) as His bride. That is one of the most intimate and special relationships any human being can have. I'm in awe as I really think about what this means. My God wants that intense and unbreakable relationship with me! Just as husband and wife become one in the flesh, Jesus Christ unites us with our God in spirit to make us whole with Him. He is in us, as we are in Him. He never leaves our hearts, never abandons us. When He is as even more involved in our lives as our husbands, our relationship with God is strong and unifying. Through sickness, tragedy, heartache, and joy He is always with us.
