His Bride (Revelation 19)

"Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting:
'Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory!  For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.'" -Revelation 19:6-7 (NIV)
It is refreshing to hear the proclamation of praise and worship for our amazing God. Truly he is worthy of ultimate honor, respect, adoration, and service.
As I read these words, my heart was overwhelmed by the staggering thought that we who believe have ultimately been chosen to be the bride of the Lamb of God. We do not "deserve" such amazing love, for "all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God," yet by sovereign grace we find ourselves stunned in awe of this gift.
May we be forever changed by such mercy. May our worship be sweeter and more passionate knowing this priceless treasure has been offered.
