A crown of glory, A royal diadem.


You shall also be [so beautiful and prosperous as to be thought of as] a crown of glory and honor in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem [exceedingly beautiful] in the hand of your God.


You [Judah] shall no more be termed Forsaken, nor shall your land be called Desolate any more. But you shall be called Hephzibah [My delight is in her], and your land be called Beulah [married]; for the Lord delights in you, and your land shall be married [owned and protected by the Lord].


For as a young man marries a virgin [O Jerusalem], so shall your sons marry you; and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you.


I have set watchmen upon your walls, O Jerusalem, who will never hold their peace day or night; you who [are His servants and by your prayers] put the Lord in remembrance [of His promises], keep not silence,


And give Him no rest until He establishes Jerusalem and makes her a praise in the earth.

Isaiah 62:3-7





God came and touched my heart in the wee hour of the night as i was seeking Him last night. He told me many things, and continues to speak with me. He has poured forth His beauty in me freely, and i am precious and honoured in His sight. i asked Him for an answer and He provided me with it and confirmed it through His Word, of what He is doing in my life and where i am going from here. I was to be His signet ring, his crown of glory, His royal diadem. These were not just empty words or verses from the bible that were pointing to a distant past, but true living words that God spoke to me. I was overwhelmed and I wept with joy. And i thought of J. I sense strongly that God was saying that I was to be married, that it's God's promise and blessing to me and it will be a man who loves and knows God. There was love and desire for this man in a way my human mind cannot explain or comprehend. It's almost as if my heart was set free and my willpower to deny those emotions and feelings are lost in the long winding path between mind and heart.
