Everyday Wedding
I remember being engaged to Dan and wanting to be married ASAP so I could fully be with him as husband and wife. It was hard to wait. You yearn, and you know what you want. You want more… but not yet. This relates to our yearning for God. God calls us to relationship, and that means yearning. A person doesn’t yearn for religion.
Jesus tells us that we are His bride, and He promises a final wedding. He fully knows and loves us and when the day arrives, and He comes for us it will be like the words of Paul in 1 Corinthians 13:5; “Then I shall know just as I also am known.” You’re yearning, and we all are, but it’s building up to something called heaven where it’s not just a spiritual wholeness but a physical one too. The earth experience is hard but as believers we have the eternal wedding celebration in heaven where there is perfection with no more tears or pain but yet there’s purpose. That’s something to look forward to …everyday.
