we plan what dress we will wear
we try to picture who it is we will be walking down the aisle to
we attempt to plan the details of flowers, bridesmaids, location, band, song choice, invitations....the list goes on
but what is this obsession really all about. Our desire to have the perfect dress, husband, flowers.... or is it really a desire of proof that someone loves us. Are we seeking the comfort that we think will come from all of this. Our desire to be loved is not something humans were born with. Before sin, we didn't desire to be loved because at our core we already knew how much He loved us. Once sin came into the picture we became aware of our flaws and our insecurities, and this idea of overwhelming love became foreign to us. How could someone so wonderful, so majestic love me? Most days I don't know why he loves me, but I do know that he does.
So put on your white dress
walk down the aisle
make a toast
cut the cake
and come to the table and receive the assurance that the table brings
"And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you" Isaiah 62:5b
"Had he given us some small pension from his royal coffers, we should have had cause to love him eternally; but no, he will have his bride as rich as himself, and he will not have a glory or a grace in which she shall not share"
C. H. Spurgeon
May you have a wonderful sunday,
Until Then,
Amy
