    God’s word is the water that we must bathe in daily. We wash away everything that does not conform to the image of Christ. As God’s ’wife’ it must be our earnest desire for him to see us as beautiful and pleasing. O that we could be his delight.

    Opening illustration: Watch the video clip ‘God’s Valentine.’ Let us turn to Revelation 19 and catch up with John’s vision of the ‘Bride of Christ’ and how she gets herself ready for her Bridegroom.
