Blushing Bride

As I sit here before my wedding day I wanted to think about what husband and wife means to me. Uniting our love as one in front of our friends and family is a given, but delving into what marriage really is begins a whole new chapter. In the beginning God created man and something was not right, man needed a companion so from man God created woman by taking one of Adam's ribs and making Eve. God was the coordinator of the first wedding and I rest assured in the fact that He knows what He is doing. The blushing innocence of a bride as she is guided down the isle by her father to her groom is so beautiful only God could have created it. The angelic look of anticipation in the grooms eyes as he waits for the woman that was made for him is incomprehensible. Both of them dressed in the righteousness of Christ ready to make life long vows to one another. With Christ at the forefront of this relationship there is nothing we can't do. As long as we continue to let Him steer the wheel and put our love for Him above our love for one another our marriage will be lush. Filled with pure joy, compassion, loyalty, love, and blessings for one another. For when God is put first your life is always lush. It is not about how cute of a couple you make or where you call your home together, but it is about the partnership you have and how you strive everyday to make this earthly life the best that it can be. It is about how you work as a team and support one another through any obstacle that comes your way. It is about praying together and creating a family and home that always has Christ at the center. It is only then that you have the riches of this life God intended. I have said it before and I will say it again the ONLY thing that matters in this life is our relationship with God and our relationships with others and LOVE is the focal point in all of this. If we can learn how to love one another as Christ loves us we have surely fought the good fight. I hold my head high with Him as I go in to this union of love with the one He created for me. The next wedding of course will be the ultimate affair. As the bride of Christ one day I will walk down the isle to my bridegroom and we will begin our new life together in eternity. Hallelujah!
