Why is Your Hope in Man, My Bride by Deborah Waldron Fry

Why is your hope in man, My Bride? Why does your soul strive with the opinions of men. Man will always disappoint you. Don't be downcast, My Child. You are betrothed to Me forever in righteousness and in justice, in steadfast love and mercy, I have redeemed you with My Blood. I have allured you and brought you with Me into the wilderness, to speak tenderly to you.


For your Maker is your Husband, the Lord of hosts is His name; and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer, the God of the whole earth He is called. We have walked together through this Valley of Trouble and are coming through the Door of Hope. I am giving you a great harvest of joy for the tears that you have shed. I am your Hope, Beloved. I am the Prince of Peace.

There shall be no peace upon the earth until your King takes His place upon His throne and all is reconciled. And you shall be with Me, Beloved. I shall never leave nor forsake you. In that Day, you shall call me,"My Husband", and the name of Baal shall be remembered no more. I have betrothed you to Me in faithfulness and you shall know your Lord. My Delight is in you, Dear One. As the Bridegroom rejoices over His Bride, so shall your God forever rejoice over you.............................................................................................................................................
