Embrace Christ, He wants to embrace you, and when He does, He changes you, your heart is good, it’s so good that it glows. But don’t we too often stifle the glow, we douse the light, and grieve the Holy Spirit when all we can see in the mirror is what we used to be. We are Moses coming down from the mountain where we just met with God, our faces are shining with His glory! And then we put on a veil.
The first marriage we walked down the aisle to our Lord, our Groom, with our faces veiled, we cried tears of oppression, and our God heard them. We met our God at the altar of Mt. Sinai and we married our God, we entered a covenant with our God.
But all too soon the marriage began.. well.. failing. We failed at loving Him, our Groom, our God, we failed at keeping His word, and we cheated on our God. We had an affair with other gods. Time and time again. So even when the ceremony ended we continued to wear our veil, because it was a veil of shame.
But then God said there will be a second marriage. I will take you in my hands and you will reenter the womb and you will come out with new life. You will be good. You will walk down the aisle to Me and I will pull your veil back and touch your tears and I will make you clean, make you new. Forever.
You shall never again put on the veil for I, the Lord, have taken it off! You are good. Your heart and your life will glow. You will be like a city on a hill. Everyone who sees you will see truth and life. Because of your good heart, through My good grace.
In Christ, your heart is good, and good hearts glow.
