watch this. then watch it again.
especially if you are a woman. or if you know one.

"Most especially, Satan hates Eve, because she is captivating, uniquely glorious, and he cannot be. She is the incarnation of the Beauty of God... The Evil One also hates Eve because she gives life. Women give birth, not men. And they also bring life into the world soulfully, relationally, spiritually... Eve incarnates the Beauty of God and she gives life to the world. Satan's bitter heart cannot bear it."

For Zion's sake I will not keep silent,
for Jerusalem's sake I will not remain quiet,
till her righteousness shines out like the dawn,
her salvation like a blazing torch.
The nations will see your righteousness,
and all kings your glory;
you will be called by a new name
that the mouth of the LORD will bestow.
You will be a crown of splendor in the LORD's hand,
a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
No longer will they call you Deserted,
or name your land Desolate.
But you will be called Hephzibah, [my delight is in her]...
for the LORD will take delight in you...
as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride,
so will your God rejoice over you.
-Isaiah 62:1-5
"Every song you love, every memory you cherish, every moment that has moved you to holy tears has been give to you from the One who has been pursuing you from your first breath in order to win your heart...He wants to be known as only lovers know each other. He wants intimacy with you. He longs for you... He wants your deep heart, that center place within that is the truest you. He is not interested in intimacy with the woman you think you are supposed to be. He wants intimacy with the real you."

Snap, Em... such truth, it's beautiful.
And so are you; you remind me of Jesus.
i must admit, the first time i saw this clip (on another blog), i started out thinking it was going to be a satire of christian skits. maybe it was the choreography at the beginning of the piece. at any rate, i'm glad i kept watching. it is a powerful piece that is worth viewing.
thanks, emily.
Freddie's Master's Commission team now does this as one of their many "human videos," which they present to public schools and youth groups around the state... The week after I read this on your blog, I heard Fred singing the song and told him about it and he was like, "Yeah, we saw it too, on YouTube - the MC's are doing it now."
So, way to go Holy Spirit! And way to go, Internet! :)
Also, you are the Beloved of Christ, purchased with His blood and concealed with Jesus in God. So you've got that going for ya... which is nice.
