Wedding of the Lamb

I just got married this past May and I experienced so many emotions all at once. I was excited. I was nervous. I was anxious. I was scared. The only emotion I never felt was doubt. I knew that my husband was the man that God intended for me to marry. God brought us together and I knew that God would remain the center of our lives.

In the few days right before the wedding, I felt frazzled. There were so many things that I had to finish and so many expectations I felt I had to meet. I was extremely nervous and insanely excited at the same time. Details and emotions. It was a roller coaster ride for me that I knew would come to an end as soon as the wedding was complete.

The day before the wedding, I was so nervous, I barely spoke. I couldn’t believe that life as I had known it for 30 years was about to change — forever.

The day of the wedding is now a blur. I remember bits and pieces and live the day through photographs and videos. I waited for this day my entire life and it was finally here. And then it was gone. I was married and the day that every little girl dreams about was finished. Another page had been turned in my chapter of life.

The last part of the book of Revelation is the Wedding of the Lamb. It’s Jesus Christ and His bride (the church) sitting around a large table and feasting on the Wedding Supper. It’s amazing to read about the building and the jewels and the lake as clear as crystal. It’s a day that every Christian longs for. A day that lives in their heart and mind as a very soon reality. A day that pushes us to do our very best for God and to please Him. But unlike my wedding day, the Wedding of the Lamb is something that will last forever. I look forward to seeing my Savior. I look forward to serving Him and praising Him throughout all eternity.
