My Lord and my Love is my God

While singing the "prince and the pauper one day", I hit on a title that I could call the Lord. It is "my Lord and my Love is my God". Well, what makes me like it so?

My Lord--this is "master", Lord Jesus, and also, as in what a wife calls the husband. It reminds me that I belong to the Lord, I am to obey Him. He is my future "husband" because I, part of the church, is His bride. 

My Love--this is a mushy name for lover. It reminds me to devote my love to the Lord. And just like a lover, to be committed to Him. It also reminds me that Jesus is my Prince and that I am to love him like and more than my future husband (whoever Jesus sends, He only knows). 

My God--this is the specifies who I am referring to. It also reminds me about how great and big my Love is. He too is sovereign. Although He is Creator and God of the whole universe, He still is seeks a personal relationship with me, reflected in the two names above. 

My  Lord and my Love is my God! O Lord, praise Thy matchless name. Thou so near to me. 

(This thought occurred to me on 2 Dec 2011, but I didn't record it until March 2012 so the thoughts may not be "ad verbatim" and some might have been accidentally added or omitted.)
