she is my true love...

I was listening to a song by Laura Woodley the other day and all I really want to say is WOW! It’s a song about how we see our relationship with the Lord. But in the midst of the junk and dirt He sees beauty; He wants us, He chooses us, His beautiful brides

You saw me broken
You saw me battered

You saw me filthy

You saw me shattered

You saw me wicked

You saw me lying

You saw me failing

You saw me trying

You saw me angry

You saw me jealous

You saw me prideful

You saw me selfish

You saw me wonder

You saw me lustful

You saw me striving

Worshipping idols

I want her

I love her

She’s the one for me

I choose her

I know her
She is my true love
Bring her to me

Put a ring on her finger

Clothe her in my righteousness

Shine my light all around her

Place a crown upon her head

Keep her tears in a bottle

See her name upon my hands

When she says: I don’t deserve it

Tell her: I took the nails instead

I took the nails instead

After hearing the song, I decided to create a painting! Around the outside of the canvas has lines from the beginning of the song, and in the center of the painting is God's response to how he see us..."I want her..." And the awesome thing is that after printing it out the words on the paper it resembled a dress; which lead me to make the center of the painting a dress. A beautiful dress, set apart for His beautiful bride.
