A messed up heart & a perfect God...
She walked down the aisle; her adornment was beyond beautiful! The gown flowed effortlessly & she was indeed a beauty to behold! Not only was she looking so radiant, her love for the Lord was evident! She had pursued the Lord & His will, and as she walked down the aisle, thoughts of the struggle came to mind; she had lost count of the many exes , the many men which betrayed & treated her like trash, the infatuation that was blindly called love, etc. She thought of how the Lord finally came through for her & how His Word had given her a new perspective about love!
Here she was, smiling in her heart & relishing her Big Day! Indeed, it had been a long walk!
Sam waited curiously in his seat & you could see a heart yearning to behold his bride! He had also waited for this Big Day! He could be described as the perfect 'flirt man'; He had eyes for everything in skirt! He never contemplated the idea of marriage- it was just a strange concept! He was the i'deal' 21st century man- has his own apartment ,drives the latest Cayenne & has a great job! As he always said, 'enjoy life today for tomorrow, we will die'. But just like his bride, he had come to know the Lord & a transformed life followed!
Finally, Kate the beautiful bride arrived at the altar! The groom just couldn't hold back the tears; Here was a woman who had lived a rough life but was glowing with such Christ-like beauty & godly apparel , with a touch of godliness!
He couldn't wait anymore but whispered gently in her ears," Many daughters have done well but you excel them all". With all their flaws & messed up past, the Lord had blessed their love so abundantly & gave them a fresh start!
Sam & Kate knew that all will not be rosy in their journey of marriage. However, like the apostle Paul, they could boldly say "...For i know whom i have believed and i am persuaded that he is able to keep that which i have committed unto Him against the day"- 2 Timothy 1:12b
They knew that Abba had written their love story so beautifully- He had prepared them for this auspicious occasion.
They both understood their God-given roles & were determined to carry them out by His Grace.
They both knew that selfless love is possible in Christ & His Word. They had walked this journey of life through thick & thin.
Kate never joked with her academic studies- When she finally let go chasing the wrong men, she committed herself to pursuing the Lord & being a vessel of honor even in her academic pursuits. She rose through the ranks & the Lord truly led her to do great exploits, especially in the ministry of women & children. As a professional Clinical Psychologist, her expertise was greatly invaluable to the members of her church.
Fourteen years down the lane, Kate & Sam are more stronger in their love for God & His calling in their lives. Blessed with five kids, their testimony is more than a blessing! Like they always say" we have never been perfect in our marriage but the Lord has always been our source of sustenance & contentment".
The above story is fiction but it may be a true story of a couple you may know!
Are you willing to quit searching for love in all the wrong places? Do you believe in God's power to transform your messed past ? God wants to write your love story, would you allow Him? He has a greater calling on your life, would you answer Him now? Would you say yes to His timing?
Is your entire life surrendered to Him?
Hand God the pen in your life, He will write your story so beautifully!
