Marriage
I must have been around four years old, and I remember to this day that the night before she had put my hair up in rags, to make curls that fell around my face, and I wore my favorite white pinafore.
I had to sit very still, and sideways to the lady who was creating it...but out of the corner of my eye, I watched her hands work their magic.
She had scissors in one hand, and a small piece of black paper in the other.... and she snipped and cut with such speed, turning that paper round and round, it looked like a miniature of me.
Though there was no detail, just from the outline, you could tell what she had created was a picture of me, and I have always marveled at the talent it took to create with nothing but her eyes and hands.
That reminded me so of my life before I met you...a two-dimensional life that I led...it was featureless and blank, just a shadow of what I had hoped to have.... just a one-sided view.
There was nothing that stood out, no color, no detail, everything seemed incomplete and dim, but then I met Jesus, and everything changed, for now I belonged to Him.
He took His Master brush and replaced the shadows with rich color and detail so fine, and in the blink of an eye, the light of His love flooded in, and He gave me faith and trust again.
Then into my life, He gave me so much more, for when I was ready, He brought me to you, and poured out His grace and joy and delight, and gave us a love deep and true.
So now I have come from that dark silhouette, to a picture full of color and detail, and now with you, we've become a movie to both watch and be in.
There is such joy and happiness in following God's lead, holding fast to your hand, walking by your side, and I know that there never can be greater joy than the one in which I now abide.
Every day there's something new, a discovery of new joy, another wonder that comes into view, and I rejoice that I've been given yet another way to say, and show how much I love you!
