About 5 years ago my husband passed away. Dale was the husband of my youth. I loved him very much for 34 years, til death did us part. He had battled colon cancer for years.
Recently my best friend has given me a 'word of knowledge' a few times. (1 Cor. 12:28) She kept telling me that Jesus is now my Husband. At the time I didn't understand it was a word from the Spirit of God to me. After all my troubles as a widow, I know now that Jesus is my Husband. FOR YOUR MAKER IS YOUR HUSBAND-- THE LORD ALMIGHTY IS HIS NAME-- THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL IS YOUR REDEEMER, HE IS CALLED THE GOD OF ALL THE EARTH. (Is. 54:5 NIV) "IT WILL COME ABOUT AT THAT TIME," DECLARES THE LORD, "THAT YOU WILL ADDRESS ME AS 'MY HUSBAND', AND YOU WILL NO LONGER CALL ME 'MY MASTER.' (Hosea 2:16 ISV) Jesus has been my Master for 20 years, ever since He healed me of terminal cancer. Jesus always loves me no matter what. He always does right by me. The time has come, I now call Him, 'my Husband.' He's the best there is.
I wrestled with God for 5 years looking for a husband, a man here on earth. Yet, I prevailed with God, by never letting go of Jesus. God gave me the best Husband in the universe, Jesus. That's how Jacob prevailed in His wrestlings with God. Jacob held on to the Man all night long and would not let Him go. At dawn the Man, blessed him. God made him Israel, a Prince of God. God made me a Wife of Christ. .. THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WILL ARISE WITH HEALING IN ITS LIGHT FOR THOSE WHO FEAR MY NAME. (Mal. 4:2a ISV)
In Revelation the word 'overcome' means to subdue-- conquer, prevail, get the victory. (Rev. 15:2, KJV Lexicon) How do we prevail with God? How do we prevail in all the troubles of this life? Hold onto Jesus, no matter what! ... DESPITE ALL THESE THINGS, OVERWHELMING VICTORY IS OURS THROUGH CHRIST, WHO LOVED US. (Rom. 8:37 NLT)
How about you? Are you a widow who is lonely? Are you a single woman who needs a husband? Look to Jesus in your need. He loves you. He will always do right by you and love you unconditionally. Jesus can fulfill you too .... like He fulfills me. This Man Jesus, Who Is also God, is worthy of our love. Love Him always.
