This Is How I See You!

"Listen, my dearest darling, you are so beautiful -- you are beauty itself to me!

Your eyes glisten with love, like gentle doves behind your veil. 

What devotion I see each time I gaze upon you. 

You are like a sacrifice ready to be offered. 

When I look at you I see that you have taken my fruit and tasted my Word. 

Your life has become clean and pure, like a lamb washed and newly shorn. 

You now show grace and balance with truth on display. 

Your lips are as lovely as Rahab's scarlet ribbon, speaking mercy, speaking grace.

The words of your mouth are as refreshing as an oasis. 

What pleasure you bring to me!

I see your blushing cheeks opened like the halves of a pomegranate,

Showing through your veil of tender meekness.

When I look at you I see your inner strength, so stately and strong. 

You are as secure as David's fortress.

Your virtues and grace cause a thousand famous soldiers to surrender to your beauty.

Your pure faith and love rest over your heart as you nurture those who are yet infants."

 (Song of Songs 4:1-5 TPT)

Yes, Beloved, this is how I see you! You do not need to blush in shame, as though you are hoarding some secret about what you are really like. You could never even unintentionally trick or deceive Me, Sweetheart! I know all you are, every inch of your very soul. I know the dark places, the ugly places, the sin places. But still you do not fully grasp...

It is My joy to see you through the lens of Christ crucified. I see you as REDEEMED, and you are all the more beautiful for the depth of pain it cost Me to render you thus!! This is amazing Grace, that I choose to look upon the ones I love and have given everything to win back. Yes! You are beautiful beyond compare to Me. 

So do not shrink away from Me, My Darling! Stand up tall in this Grace I shower on you and do Me the honour of returning My gaze of Love with boldness, confidence and joy! After all these years, you are finally learning who you truly are. What a day for rejoicing!
