You will betroth me unto You forever—yes, in righteousness, in judgment…in loving kindness and in mercies. You will even betroth me unto You in faithfulness and I shall know You, the Lord.
Hosea 2:19-20 paraphrased
The Betrothal was written during my senior year in college at the IMPACT 2004 conference out of a determination to end my constant focus on love and relationships and focus on the Lord. Written about 2 years before I met my husband.
Right now, it’s time to see You in a different light…
As Companion and Friend, as Confidante, as Lover, as Husband.
Lord I want to know You
So I truly come to love You with my heart, mind, soul and strength.
That is, I begin to think of You every waking moment,
Smiling to myself at Your mighty acts and thoughtful deeds.
My heart skips a beat at the thought of being with You—
At seeing You one day!
My soul longs for You and I desperately seek Your presence, Your approval, Your applause.
I do all I know how to please You!
I mean, I dress to make You smile,
I do things just so that You can notice me.
I go places where I know You will be at, just to catch a glimpse of You.
I dance in Your presence in the hopes that You would come and join me—
Or at least notice me!
I wrap Your injuries as I care for those who are hurt.
I come and visit You when You’re alone by visiting those who are forgotten.
I skillfully prepare meals in hopes that You would enjoy them…
The destitute and hungry will testify of how enjoyable my meals are!
The essence of my poetry and lyrics will be my affection for You—
Oh how glorious!
So I want to start living like truly I have a love relationship with Jesus Christ.
