“I’s
e married now!” “I’se married now!” Famous lines belted by Sug from The Color Purple.
We all could relate to her excitement and elation as she sang those words and showed off her ring to all who had an ear to hear and eyes to see.
As singles, we should be excited like Sug, because we’re married now, too, just not in the natural yet.
The New Living Translation of Colossians 2:10 states, So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority.
Once you got saved a spiritual marriage took place in your heart as you became united in holy matrimony with the Lord.
When you said, “I do,” to Him, you said, “Yes, to Your will,” and, “Yes, to Your way.” You promised to trust, honor, obey and serve Him with your whole heart because He first loved you (1 John 4:19)
You are now married to a man who loves you unconditionally, in spite of all your flaws and mistakes, He still cherishes and honors you and treats you like the queen you already are.
More than brag about the ring, you can brag about the Man, your High Priest “Sugar Daddy” who takes care of you now more than any man in the natural ever will.
I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. Psalm 37:25
For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called. Isaiah 54:5
