"A groom sees past the irregularities
and blemishes, he sees beauty beneath the strains and stretches of what life
has done to his bride’s body, he sees what he has chosen to be his—and He has
called it good from the very beginning. And there, with that in mind, He presents
us blameless, spotless, stainless to Himself. He reconciles what is broken and
messy, and brings us whole to the Father for the eternal wedding feast.
And only He can do it."
…Christ loved the church and gave
himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the
washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself
in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy
and without blemish.
Ephesians 5:25-27
