the pursuit of you part 6: their eyes were watching God

 

Their eyes were watching God.

A meeting of souls, heaven-appointed,

This was divinely ordained, before the stars were born,

God wrote this song into the heavens.

To be a beacon pointing to the true marriage of Christ and HIS bride. 

This is not pride, but joy; this is not arrogance, but a humble reminder, 

Every good gift comes from above,

Every blessing and grace shown is to point us to the one on the throne. 

In the natural, a man and woman become one,

Freely of their own doing, the maker's handiwork,

They sing up high praises together,

for, in the spirit, their eyes were watching God.

James 1:17 (ESV)
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights…”

Ephesians 5:31–32 (KJV)
“For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife… This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.”

*****

may we always keep our eyes on our Maker, and grow in understanding of the great mystery in the age to come.

while i wait part 6: song of songs revisit

 

Song of Songs a revisit

Our hearts met at dawn, held in holy halo.

Rising early for reverence.

We move as one in our praise.

Turn down the lights; this isn’t a performance, but a whispered prayer.

He met me halfway, giving in equal measure.

Praying before hands ever touched, so softly.

Squeezing my hand, to love not possess,

Rubbing his fingers across my knuckles to ground me. 

Me? I’m gentler now, before the day can weigh me,

I offer you sweetness, not disguise.

The softened step within my strength,

I come to you bearing soul this early morning.

Now? We pray. 

A husband, a wife, a man, a woman. 

Two kindred spirits, 

ordained souls from the beginning of time. 

Each lovingly crafted by the Potter's clever hand,

She aims to set fire, 

Watch the arrow of love, finally land,

This is a tale of a unified couple, finally realized.

A small prayer, for God to bless and grant our supplication.

And eyes wide in wonder, 

Truly, they both now understand Adams awe,

Bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh, unified unit.

● Song of Solomon 8:6 – 'Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; for

love is as strong as death.'

● Ephesians 5:31-32 – 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be

joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church.'

*****

husbands love your wives as Christ loved/loves the Church.

eyes wide in wonder for the holy union of Man and Woman. Husband and Wife.
