"You will call Me Ishi--(my husband). Hosea 2:16 

"You will be called Hephzibah--(My delight is in her) 
. . . for the Lord will take delight in you." Isaiah 62:4

Christ is most precious. He is my Ishi! I, His Hephzibah! 
What love! What wonders, for a worm so vile! But He has borne my vileness away--and is Himself my loveliness! 

Christ, the Beloved of my soul, is my perfection, and His 
blood is my purity. However great my guilt, His precious 
blood is more than a match for it all. This has been like 
solid rock to my soul. "Praise the Lord, O my soul!
