Our bed is green

The bed we become one with Christ is outside the camp – in the wild. As we ready our hearts to share His shame outside the camp of religiosity we will have our ‘bed of unification’ with Him in the ‘green’ of God’s creation. The wording is very interesting here. It’s ‘our’ bed… no, not my or your bed… but our bed.
This speaks about the depth of intimacy, the closeness of heart the Sulamite ‘shared’ with the king – and in no way different it is meant for you and me.
We will find Him and will become one with Him in the green bed He created. Not the creation of man’s craftiness but the place of life created for all who follow the lamb wherever He goes.
In this place it is no longer Him and I… but we become one with Him.
This place is more radical then most of us ever dreamt of… it means complete abandonment unto Him. His life becomes our life in every area of all we call ‘ours’.

When Adam became one with Eve in paradise their bed was green… and being restored into a living love-relationship with Christ we become ‘echat’ (one) with HIM… and ‘our’ bed IS green!

This beautiful post brings to mind a sequence of events, His beckoning call “Come to Me” is the voice of the universe, a call for one and all to seek the headwaters of the stream, to come to the source of Life, and with nothing between you and Him…nothing.

The He invites us to enter His rest, The Lovers Lover instantly brings us into the bedchamber, to invite us to His bed of green. Here we find rest, inward rest, healing, and wholeness, and are at peace, tears of joy and appreciation flow effortlessly. We see this is where we belong, and He redeems all and everything prior to this rest, we are home. We awaken to His intimacy, and find we are connected saints in His body our Love for one another stems from His Love for us, Love flourishes and grows for Him and for one another. In this He reveals more and more of His Life and Love, we find this as our source, our identity, and our reality. We learn to Love as we have and are Loved.

The revealing of Him and who we are in Him strengthens, and stabilizes us, we are settled, and secure, we come to know that nothing can shake us from His Love, His Life. Healing and growth are now springing forth. It’s an ever deepening appreciation for Life and Love, we rejoice in all that we see, life is beautiful.

As this feasting continues we see that we are His bride, and He has a role for us to play, it involves the whole of creation. We await His voice, His lead, we see the Love,His Love renews and redeems all…all.

And this is just the beginning…

“Our bed is green”.
When Christ takes His place in the midst of His own, there is found a green spot in this barren world. It makes me remember the days under the communist regime in Albania, how little green there was, the outward was just a picture of the spiritual barren and death in that place back then. But I remember in my beginnings with God, any time I would see a green field, it immediately made me think of God and His greatness and I would tell Him how great He is.
Bed speaks of rest, but it is “our” bed and the rest is mutual. I with Him and He with me.
There is security and shelter in His presence, the beams support the building and make it secure and the rafters support the roof and make it a place of shelter.
The storm may be raising on the outside but inside there is security. One may find fault with Mary but immediately the sheltering care of the Lord is seen” let her alone, she did what she could”.

The Bridegroom said ” you are fair my love” and the Bride will respond at once ” “you are fair my Beloved, yea pleasant”. Her comeliness is the counterpart of His. ” “The beauty of The Lord is upon His people”.

Of others it may be said they are “fair”, that are not pleasant, and some others are pleasant that are not fair. But Christ is both, beautiful to look upon and wholly pleasant to engage our thoughts. How pleasant Christ is to the psalmist who said “my heart is welling forth with a good matter” and how fair when he added ” you are fairer than the sons’ of men. Yea, Christ is fair and pleasant!!

I like the title because just as our earthly marriages are consummated in the intimacy of the bed the Lord will consummate the intimacy He desires with us in Heaven….Becoming ONE what a picture.
I also like the way they shot the video…..to me it was a picture of how close yet how far we are from one another on this side of eternity in this space and time. A bitter sweet longing and loving.
As always Pam worth the wait when the Lord gives you something to share with us.:-D
Until next post….well you know ;-)
