Just a few weeks ago the world's attention was turned towards the royal wedding taking place at Westminster Abby in London. The flowers, the food, the dresses, the decorations...it all was being talked about everywhere.
Yet this evening I was thinking about how incredible it is that we are also part of a royal wedding, and are married to a King. Actually, the King of all Kings. So all the privileges and comforts of marrying into the royal family are ours. We have immediate access to the throne anytime we want to go there. We are honored and held in high esteem. We are provided for in every way. And the dowry paid for us was the life of our King Himself. What greater love could there be? What wedding more worthy of the world's attention?
I know how difficult it is for us at times to see ourselves as His beloved bride, when we struggle so with the conception of who we are and who He is, both very skewed by the lies that sexual abuse has coerced us to believe. But we must believe the truth. We are precious to the King, adored by Him, and truly loved. And the marriage is forever.
