My Jesus

This morning as I studied Scripture I found my Jesus waiting. When I seek Him to know Him, I always will find Him. This morning was no different. As I studied Scripture to find glimpses into this Prince of Peace I call my Bride-Groom, I found a window open in my heart and His light shone in. The more He reveals of Himself to me the more I find myself more like Him. How awesome it is that seeking Him in all I do I shed what hinders me, my fears, my insecurities, my bad habits, my sin. In its place I find radiance where once I was ashamed, His beauty is my beauty where once insecurities were my robes. I am so thankful to call Jesus, my Jesus. Here is a Scripture passage, Psalm 45:1-15 that I found to be especially illuminating this morning.

1 My heart is stirred by a noble theme
as I recite my verses for the king;
my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.

2 You are the most excellent of men
and your lips have been anointed with grace,
since God has blessed you forever.

3 Gird your sword upon your side, O mighty one;
clothe yourself with splendor and majesty.

4 In your majesty ride forth victoriously
in behalf of truth, humility and righteousness;
let your right hand display awesome deeds.

5 Let your sharp arrows pierce the hearts of the king's enemies;
let the nations fall beneath your feet.

6 Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever;
a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.

7 You love righteousness and hate wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions
by anointing you with the oil of joy.

8 All your robes are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia;
from palaces adorned with ivory
the music of the strings makes you glad.

9 Daughters of kings are among your honored women;
at your right hand is the royal bride in gold of Ophir.

10 Listen, O daughter, consider and give ear:
Forget your people and your father's house.

11 The king is enthralled by your beauty;
honor him, for he is your lord.

12 The Daughter of Tyre will come with a gift, ^[b]
men of wealth will seek your favor.

13 All glorious is the princess within her chamber ;
her gown is interwoven with gold.

14 In embroidered garments she is led to the king;
her virgin companions follow her
and are brought to you.

15 They are led in with joy and gladness;
they enter the palace of the king.
