How to be a faithful and loving wife to Jesus

I know everyone's list is different but I didn't want to waste anymore time dreaming about what type of wife I want to be to my future husband. I'm not in the future, and fortunately :), there is no suitor in sight--at least until God finishes making me into his perfect bride :). So I decided to learn from what the Holy Spirit's been pouring into me lately how to be more faithful to my warrior groom. Understanding this whole intimacy with Jesus has really blown me away lately! I mean I never knew that the desires God has birthed in me to a.) be a place of rest and safety for my husband, b.) a woman of integrity and purity, and c.) initiate intimacy with my husband, were all qualities he wanted me to demonstrate in my relationship with him today! So I wanted to explore the ways God is calling me to love him as his faithful and loving bride to  Jesus. I only have 10, but they've already challenged me to make my home in God:

1.) Not murmur or complain

2.) Be a doer of the word

3.) Initiate intimacy

4.) draw near to God

5.) Be content

6.) Learn obedience

7.)Trust in God's provision

8.) Focus on how to love God through his people and various other commitments

9.) Be peaceable by choosing humility

10.) Take thought in my appearance and be orderly in conduct


I'll describe these qualities more fully in my next blog but I had to write them down!

Be beautifully made whole Queen_______,

Love Queen Surrender <3
