Because I Love You

Because I love Zion, I will not keep still.
Because my heart yearns for Jerusalem,
    I cannot remain silent. 
 I will not stop praying for her
    until her righteousness shines like the dawn,
    and her salvation blazes like a burning torch. 
The nations will see your righteousness.
    World leaders will be blinded by your glory.
And you will be given a new name
    by the Lord’s own mouth.  
The Lord will hold you in his hand for all to see—
    a splendid crown in the hand of God.  
Never again will you be called “The Forsaken [...]”
    or “The Desolate [...].”
 
Your new name will be “The City of God’s Delight”
    and “The Bride of God,”
for the Lord delights in you
    and will claim you as his bride.  
Your children will commit themselves to you, O Jerusalem,
    just as a young man commits himself to his bride.
Then God will rejoice over you
    as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride.
Isaiah 62:1-5

Blessings 
Jasmina
