Isaiah 62:5b
5 …and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you.
It’s nearly impossible to imagine a more exciting moment than when your wife walks down the aisle. I remember feeling a sort of buzzing as the part of my brain that processes emotions was totally overloaded. I remember being really happy and thinking she was gorgeous beyond words. It will always be one of the highest moments in the human experience.
And God chose that experience to describe how He looks at you. Take that slowly, He looks at you like that. When you put your faith in Jesus, He totally cleans up your sins, past, present, and future. Now He can just look at you with all the love in His heart. My heart is small and my wife has to make do with what little love I can produce, but His love is an ocean. Go to Him confident of His love in Christ.
Prayer prompt: Lord, please help me to trust Your acceptance of me.
