I AM bringing My Bride sweet relief. Though the world around you cannot comprehend My Spirit of Comfort in the midst of the storms, I AM your Secret Place of Repose.

When the enemy threatens to steal your Peace, turn your eyes upon me, Beloved. I AM the Friend that sticks closer than a brother. I AM your Beloved Bridegroom. You bear My Name. I AM the Word.

You have tasted and seen that I AM good. You are blessed because you take refuge in Me. Eat My Word, for it shall be your joy and your heart’s delight.

You are a sweet savor in the midst of a very foul world. As I AM, so are you in this world.

The fragrance of your garments is like the fragrance of Lebanon. Your lips drop sweetness as the honeycomb, My Bride; milk and honey are under your tongue.
