And this poem that I found on this blog: Do the Next Thing

Bride in Boots

Hey all! Last night Prepare had the annual Romance of the Ages Banquet. Praise God for another year of His faithfulness and grace to Prepare Ministries. We hope God will be pleased to continue to bless Prepare and grant more grace for us to display the glory of Christ Jesus on the college campuses.

Gary's message was about being a "bride in boots". We long to be filled with a loving, adoring heart towards Christ our Savior, and be striving to increase in our personal spiritual beauty day by day as we await for our great and glorious sovereign Bridegroom to break into this earth from heaven and usher His kingdom into earth in its final consumation. So we long to be a pure and holy bride for Him in that day, and to focus on fellowship with Christ, and beholding Him so that we will love Him as He deserves.

But along with being a bride, we must realize there is an unspeakably urgent and serious war going on around us. There is work to do! We have a very short time on this earth, and there is a battle for the praise and glory of God in the souls of men all around us. A battle that affects peoples' eternal destinies. There is work to be done in showing mercy to those in need, those in poverty, especially those in need of the Savior.

So let's call out to God for grace to be a loving, adoring bride, loving the appearing of Christ (2 Tim 4:8). And for grace to put on our boots and work and fight hard for the glory of God and the everlasting good of men's souls.

Mat 9:15 And Jesus said to them, "Can the wedding guests mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast.

Joh 9:4 We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.

Rom 12:11 Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord.
