Before You Meet Your Future Husbandનમૂનો

“Meet the Bridegroom”

Today’s Scripture readings are only a sampling of the ways in which Scripture portrays the Lord as the Bridegroom of His people. As you’re thinking about finding an earthly bridegroom, what does it mean to you that you have a heavenly Bridegroom?

Jesus waits patiently for your heart to turn fully to Him and to fall in love with Him. He opens His arms to you as His bride when you give your life to Him. He promises to always be with you and be the source of all your joy and contentment. The foundation for all love is from Him, through Him, and because of Him.

As you begin to understand how much Jesus wants you, all the other pieces of your life shift into place. You will see that God will fulfill His purpose for you as you continue to live in a committed relationship with Him. If a spouse is part of His faultless purpose, God will not withhold that relationship from you. He will accomplish His beautiful design in His way and in His time. If not, then you will still spend your life fully being who you were created to be.

As God says in Jeremiah 31:3, “I have loved you with an everlasting love” (NLT). God is The One for you. He is your true First Love.

So, how will your story unfold? Will you get married one day? Will you meet a man who is traveling down a parallel path, and you can join hearts and lives and keep on going together?

We don’t know. Your future is a beautiful mystery. But if you are hoping that the mystery will include marriage, then in these devotionals we want to help focus your thinking and prepare your heart before you meet your future husband.

Above all, our prayer is that you will fall in love with Jesus. You have been chosen by the Prince of Peace to be His bride for now and forever. Before you meet your eternal future Husband in heaven, may you draw closer to His heart.

Your Bridegroom, Jesus, loves you more than you will ever know.

Have you fallen in love with Jesus? How can you lean on your Bridegroom more?
