Without Spot Or Blemish

Dear Handmaidens, do you dream of the day that you will stand beside the man who God has called you to marry? I know I did.  How do you think your husband will feel with you standing there beside him,  dressed in a gorgeous white gown knowing that forever from this day forth you will be his and his alone? Will you be feeling happy that you are truly a handmaiden of the LORD and kept yourself exclusively as a treasure for your husband,  or will you have some deep regret? Did you let go of the vision Christ has for us to be a holy bride, without spot or blemish…both for Him and your husband?

God knows that the desire of our hearts as women will be to give ourselves completely for the first time to our husband. That is His plan for us. Keeping ourselves pure in thought and deed will be so worth it when we finally become one with our husband. It is our Lord’s desire for us for He wants what will make us happiest. Honour and purity are such precious things in the Lord’s sight. It ultimately will play a big part in the foundation of your marriage and ministry as a godly wife and mother. May you keep yourself spotless and without blemish so that as you stand before God, your husband and family, you can stand without regret or shame.

May your husband on your wedding day be able to exclaim as Solomon did: "Thou [art] all fair, my love; [there is] no spot in thee. ” Solomon 4:1 And may you delight in this, and may it enthrall your soul, as you know this to be true.
