Today has been a very joyous day for me. I attended the wedding of my church mates, Cynthia and Moses. It was a very beautiful wedding.
Looking at both of them, I feel really happy. They were made to suit each other. The picture was perfect. It was like God made them for each other. The joy on their faces and the conviction in their voices during the Matrimony testifed their strong love for each other. I really thank God for their loving bond. Congratulations Cynthia and Moses! May the both of you continue to grow in God's unfailing love and continue to serve Him with such zeal, testifying for His name and live as a living sacrifice.
During the course of the Holy Matrimony ceremony, what touched my heart was the word of Pastor Chua. He quoted from the Bible, " ...Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.", Song of Songs 3:5. It really serve as a reminder to me of what kind of attitude I should have in seeking a loving relationship. Finding your other half is something we cannot force onto or something we cannot control. You can't just find a person and expect that you'll be able to nurture a loving relationship with her. God's intervention must be in play. Only with God's participation in bonding two souls as one can we see a truly blossoming and long lasting relationship. Our relationship should be one that glorify God and not one of self seeking purposes. Moses and Cynthia exemplified the importance of such a belief. May God continue to bless them and shower them with love.
Honestly speaking, at this age, I am always wondering when will she come into my life. There have been doubts and there have been considerations but I've yet to find out who is she. I guess today's wedding served as a strong reminder to me as to what kind of attitude I should be carrying with regards to this issue.
Dear LORD Father, may you grant us the patience and trust in you that you'll always know what's best for us. Sometimes with our own will we tend to take matters into our own hands, resulting in more pain than joy as compared to when we started off. Give me the wisdom and give me the patience in handling my emotions, so as to know that whatever I do will be in accord to your will. May my prayer also call out to all brother and sisters in Christ, to carry the same kind of attitude and patience when it comes to relationship, and to shun ourselves alway from the temptation of the world, where godlessness thrive in meaningless unions and relationships.
Amen
A beautiful marriage in God, a priceless reminder, I thank you LORD...
