Marriage
I was daydreaming of the seashore with dunes piled up high, and me at the bottom looking up, the air around hot and still, I wanted to see the view from the top.
So I started to climb, my feet sinking deep in the sand, with each step I seemed to slide back down again - the progress I made was so painfully slow, I felt like I would never reach my goal.
I persisted in the climb, the thought of what I would see once I got to the top was enough; I'd keep putting one foot in a little higher each time, I would not stop even when it got a little tough.
There was so much of my life that I spent like that, stuck on the side of a dune, I was striving so hard, yet getting nowhere, I saw the top but I wasn't going to get there anytime soon.
When Jesus came into my heart and made me brand new, it was like I had a lifeline thrown to me down that dune, and He pulled me right up, skimming over the sand til I stood on the top looking out.
Oh, what a view spread out before me, the endless waves of the ocean rolling in to the shore, the breeze cool on my face, I saw the scene with new eyes, and I drank it all in, and then God gave me even more.
God sent you into my life, and I suddenly was running down that dune to where the sand meets the sea, and straight into your arms, where I will always stay, I know this is where God wants me to be.
This new life is so full of joy, it matters not what we do, or even where we go, or how much time it may take, for the joy is that whatever the day brings, I'll be sharing it all with you.
