Breathless!

The king is enthralled by your beauty.   Honor him, for he is your lord.  (Psalm 45:11)
 
Yes!   The King thinks you are beautiful.   He looks on you and can't take his eyes or His mind off of you.

   
We may look in the mirror and see every flaw.  He looks at us and sees an extension of Himself.   He sees in us the beauty of His creation and the perfection of His plan.   He sees His bride in preparation for the wedding day!   

 
His excitement over us spills  into the heavens and He gives us gifts of beauty!      He honors us with His presence and encourages us with the intimacy of His voice calling our names.  

 
He does battle for us and defeats every foe!    He shares His heart and knowledge with us and draws us near in an all consuming love.

 
With playful laughter and open arms, He lifts us up in our hearts and fills us with joy.    He whispers sweetness in our ears and His music resonates through our minds.   His fragrance is breathtaking and falls on our skin like dew anointing us with His essence. 

 
Yes, God IS enthralled by our beauty.     He loves us so deeply that He placed His most beautiful and  precious gift inside  each of us that call on His name.   The gift of Himself... His spirit.

 
What an incredibly wonderful God!        He makes us beautiful.   He leaves us breathless!  We are His heart's desire.

 
And He is ours.
