my destiny is eternity in love

~And I will lead her into the garden I have prepared. My wedding gift for my Bride. Here we will begin eternity together. I will speak tenderly to her. I will embrace her. And she will be Mine.~

God has been speaking to me a lot about marriage lately. Don't worry, no wedding for me...yet. Ever since I've learned about the Bridal Paradigm I've been so intrigued by the way God loves. The way He romances. The way He calls. It's beautiful!

Today I went to my friends Valeriana and Karis' wedding. It was gorgeous! Valeriana is the most gracious, graceful and elegant woman I know. The way she moves, the way she talks and her posture all scream womanly and feminine! I was completely awestruck by their reaction to one another. Karis started crying as soon as he saw his Bride walking towards him. He seemed so overwhelmed by emotion that he didn't even know what to feel: Love, joy, peace, contentment, excitement, LOVE, beauty...

I wonder what Jesus feels when we take a step towards Him? With each step taken down the isle that draws us closer and closer to Him? What is He feeling? The Author of creation, the Maker of emotions, the Perfector of love...what does He feel when we glance in His direction. When we lock gazes?

I want more of that. I want to lock gazes and walk towards Him, my Bridegroom. I want a smile of all emotions to spread across my face and melt into his embrace! And the greatest part, that IS MY DESTINY! Marriage to the Lamb!

Why are so many marriages failing these days? Why is it so common to have divorced parents or to live in common-law relationships? Because the devil is scared spitless of marriage! If our destiny is marriage, the enemy must cringe and run in fear at every vow spoken by two lovers in a God-ordained ceremony!
