I have had the incredible honor to witness 2 life events for 2 different sets of friends this weekend. Psalm 23 has filled my heart and mind this evening as I contemplate the beauty of life. "Only goodness and faithful love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord as long as I live." (Psalm 23:6)
I think for some in my position of being a divorced woman it's easy to become bitter, cynical, and numb to things like weddings, the momentous buying of a house, having babies (if you are childless). I'll be the first to admit I was bitter for a little while but that turned into cynicism for many years, and while there are hints if that cynicism left, God has been at work reminding me that not only are these beautiful things, but they are biblical. The wedding I attended this evening was a beautiful representation of Christ's love for us, His bride, and it's a truly stunning thing. There is no room for cynicism here in this love that the Father has for us. My cup truly runs over with joy as I partake in the joy that these lovely friends of mine have experienced this weekend. New life, and a new family home. And somehow I am beyond blessed, beyond moved. I am ruined, in complete love and adoration of the God who gives His children the desires of their hearts when those desires are to glorify Him in all things. His love portrayed in the events of this weekend are breathtaking and I am lost in love again...
"And You surround me like a winter fog, You've come and burned me with a kiss. And my heart burns for You." ---David Crowder Band "Obsession"
