My study of the Scriptures on the Bride of Christ and the pursuit of our heavenly Bridegroom for His beloved Bride has been one of the most enriching and encouraging times in my spiritual journey. 
Many of the Scriptures found in the My Beloved letter below are ones that we will study during the upcoming retreat.
My prayer is that the Lord will use the Scriptures to awaken our hearts to His deep, transforming  love.
Take a few moments to soak in the beauty of His Word.

MY BELOVED

You are beautiful to Me! You have stolen my heart, my bride!
In My eyes there is no flaw in you.
Delight in Me. Let your soul rejoice for I have clothed you
with My garments of salvation and a robe of righteousness.

By My grace you have been saved. It is My gift to you.
I have called you to a holy life, not because of anything you have done
but because of My purpose and My grace.
Because of your love for Me
you can know that I will work all things for your good.

    My love is better than life. Let your lips glorify My name.
Lift up your hands in My name and sing praises to Me as long as you live.
I will satisfy your soul, beloved.
Come, My child, let Me lavish My great love on you.
My precious bride, I have committed Myself to you forever,
in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion and in faithfulness.

     Rejoice in Me always. Rejoice! I am near.
Do not be anxious about anything. Let Me hear your requests in prayers
and petitions with thanksgiving in your heart and you will know My peace.
It will guard your heart and mind in My Son.
Put your hope in Me and I will give you rest.

    Set your mind on things above, not on earthly things.
I have hidden your life with Christ in Me. He is your life.
When He appears in glory you will appear with Him also.
Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--
think about these things, My love.

All that you have learned or received or heard from Me,
or seen in Me—put it into practice and My peace will be with you.
    Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom
and strength and honor and glory and praise!

I am the Lord God Almighty who reigns.
Rejoice and be glad and give Me glory!
Make yourself ready for the wedding of the Lamb. 
​
    I will have compassion on you and guide you beside springs of water.
I will satisfy your needs and strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.
Are you thirsty, My beloved? Come to Me and drink.
Believe in Me as the Scripture has said,
and streams of living water will flow from within you.

Spiritual intimacy is beautifully portrayed for us in the theme of Bridehood as seen throughout the Scriptures.
 We are the Bride of Christ, pursued by our Bridegroom Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
In our upcoming fall retreat you will  take a journey through the Word to discover the beauty and power
​of genuine bridal devotion.

Do you desire to know Christ in a deeper intimate way?
On this retreat we will explore the Scriptures and ancient Jewish wedding customs
to learn how they relate to the teachings and heart of Jesus for you as His Bride.

Register now to join us as we  explore Our Position, Divine Passion, and His Purpose
for us as the Bride of Christ.
May we draw near as His beloved Bride and honor Christ as King.
​It is our prayer that the Lord will awaken our hearts to the pursuit
​of our Bridegroom in this wonderful retreat! Space is limited!
