21Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of^[f] your evil behavior. 22But now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation— 23if you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.

In the beginning we were together, I did something stupid, we broke up but Jesus, His son, knew my heart and said .."yall belong together, I'm gonna get yall back together"....I said YES!!!  OK!!!  And our relationship was restored except this time He asked me to be His bride!!!  I don't even feel like I'm ready to be a wife, I'm not in order, I'm not nurturing enough!!!  I don't know if I'll make you happy!  He turns to me and lovingly giggles then replies "your right, your not ready but I love you so much I'm going to stay here with you and prepare you until you are ready for this kind of love".  "I'm going to teach you how I want to be loved, I will let you in on the inner most deepest secrets about me".  "Now again, will you be my bride"?  "Simply say yes".  OOHHH how dreamy!!!!!  sooo romantic!!!  I fell for him.  He loves me BEFORE I get dressed and made up, he loves me even MORE at my most horrible looking times.  He loves me when I don't want to love myself!!  He loves me when everyone else turns away from me.  He loves me when I don't keep myself up, when I get off my fitness plan and it shows.  Every love story ever told is simply a mirror of what is in the bible.  This is where the first love story was told.  I love hard because He loves hard.  I do know and BELIEVE there is an earthy love between a man and a woman that mirrors this love, and when the time comes this man will find me hog tie me and take me home (smileeeee).  That's all fine and good but honestly NOTHING can top what I already have.  I have NEVER experienced an earthy Love that is a reflection of this.
