The LORD will perfect that which concerns me; your mercy, O LORD, endures forever; do not forsake the works of Your hands. Ps138.8 NKJV
When Christ returns it is said that His reward will come with Him. And what is returning with Him? All of the saints of heaven and earth will come with Him in the clouds of glory. We, are His reward and He, ours. That He views us as such may amaze us, especially when we consider our many imperfections. Yet, the LORD will perfect that which concerns us. Christ will dress us in the wedding gown of His perfection.
He did after all tell us to be perfect as His Father is perfect. Do we really expect Him to marry an incomplete bride.
Here is the hope of our calling, the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints. There awaits for all who eagerly await the Day, the realization of our hopes and dreams, when we at last may look at Him as a bride her lover, and realize for the first time there are no feelings of shame intruding upon our adoration. The LORD will perfect that which concerns me. 6/29/07 ts
