so beautiful
i was just given the privilege to be a part of one of the most beautiful weddings ever. i don't think that there was a person who didn't cry during the ceremony/celebration. i was a groomsmen, and third to last to meet the bridesmaid that i walked with. as we walked to our spot, i noticed my friend who was getting married start to well up with tears. his bride had not even entered the room yet!
as the doors closed to prepare for her entrance, he became more emotional. it was such an amazing picture of love. and it seemed like forever before the doors opened. i saw God there. i saw God as he awaits our movement towards Him. and as we move towards Him, its almost as if He begins to shout, "YES, YES, YES! you get it! - this is how its supposed to be!"
i was inspired to begin to move from where i have been to a spot that i do not know. and not just to that spot. but to continue to move forward. never stopping.
i have kinda stopped for a while. its been convenient, and i have a host of excuses as to why i have stayed here, but i will no longer. its time. its been time for a while now. i didn't want to put in the work.
i realized at the wedding how my heart is crying out to be in passionate pursuit of our Creator. of Yahweh. that is when the heart is truly alive. as my mind has gone forward, my heart hasn't totally been in step. at times it seems like it has, and i'll get excited about something, but it always goes back to my mind.
i saw an amazing love today. i saw the love that two of my great friends have for each other. i saw their love of God. but most of all, i saw an amazing, beautiful, capitivating love that God has for us. a love that is longing for us to enter into. a love that knows no limits, and has no boundaries. a love that will do, and has done, whatever it takes to win us over.
after God created this world, He could have just left it. but He chose to enter into it. to be involved. to care . . . and above all, to love. this word love - i used to be scared of it, but no more. what a privilege it is, what a joy it is to love. to be in reckless pursuit of Christ. to love hard and strong those around us. . . .
walk in love.
be good to each other. look at Christ. peace.
