Isaiah 61:10 I will rejoice greatly in the LORD, My soul will exult in my God; For He has clothed me with garments of salvation, He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
Friends, this is a deep and complex subject, but my promise to you at the beginning of this challenge was a minute a day.

| Waiting on the Bridegroom |
So in a nutshell, in 1st Century Jewish culture a man that was accepted by a woman became betrothed. It was a contract equivalent to marriage and the man went to prepare a house for his bride. When his Father declared the house was ready he returned for the bride, often in secret.
Jesus said, "I go to prepare a place for you, that where I am you might also be." He is today, preparing that place and as the Bride of Christ we eagerly await his return.
Pray - Lord, I want to be among those that you have chosen and loved. I eagerly look for your coming.
