Love stories are written into our lives.
That this should be so is not surprising, as God wrote the first love story. His Son is the first-born of creation, the One in whom God delights and for whom He prepared the sons of men. Proverbs 8
At the end of time there will be a marriage feast, God's people adorned as a bride for her Heavenly Bridegroom. There are whispers of this in the Song of Solomon and touches in Ezekiel 16.'Your fame went out among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect through My splendour which I bestowed on you.'
That splendour had a price, the life of the Bridegroom. He became naked and despised so that His bride could be clothed. He purchased her as a slave and lifted her to royalty.
We must be blind not to see this. Only Christ can open our eyes to its beauty.
