Hephzibah. My delight is in her.

God has been teaching my a whole bunch of cool things lately, and since i haven't blogged recently, i decided to pull one out of the hat to share. :D

the other day i was alone praying and reading my dear little Bible when i came across Isaiah 62. My favorite verse from isaiah 62 used to be the second one: "The nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory; you will be called by a new name that the mouth of the Lord will bestow". i still love that one (hehe) but what really struck me this time was part of verse 4 ..."No longer will they call you Deserted, or name your land Desolate. But you will be called Hephzibah."

Hephzibah. My delight is in her.

God is talking abt the church here - His Bride. the one He has chosen. the one He delights in. i mean, how AMAZING is that? when you think about how ugly and gross and madly distorted our ways on thinking and living are..... and then that He - the HOLY one - has decided to see us as something worth SAVING... man. so much hope stuffed in one little verse. it blows my mind.

you know when you see a couple delighting in simply being together, or like, when you say something and you catch a friend giving you a silly grin, and you realize that they delight in spending time with you no matter how dumb your remarks can get .... its gonna be so much better the day we marry Him. :)

HALLELUJAH!
