A wedding invitation
‘Love makes the world go around.' Love can also turn your world upside down.
It has no boundaries; it's colorblind, sees no difference in age, goes beyond outward appearances and it lasts forever.
True love is a wonderful thing. You can see it in the eyes of happily married couples.
I know a lot of friends who are married to someone from another race. They are so in love!
A great bible teacher once wrote that when he was 30, the Lord told him to marry a lovely lady who was 50 years old. He fell in love with her and they lived happily ever after.
True love has nothing to do with outward appearances. It connects the hearts of two people and binds their spirits together. It is a gift from God.
I know the world advertises love in a beautiful package; He has to be rich,tall, dark haired and handsome, she has to be young, blond and sexy. A ‘Ken and Barbie' kind of thing, but it is not the real thing.
It is artificial, man-made love, not the Godly love.
And after a while the sexy blond turns gray and somebody else takes her place.
Or the tall guy turns out to be a bore and he has to make way for somebody even more handsome and so on!
This happens because their hearts were never connected; their spirits were never bound by true love.
I once saw a loving couple on television. The woman had no arms or legs, it almost seemed like she even had no waist. She was just a little piece of human on the wheelchair.
The man was normal and they loved each other so much. He would never trade her in for someone else, because it was true God given love.
We have to be careful in choosing our partner for life. Do not follow the ways of the world, but follow the voice of Gods Holy Spirit. Only He knows who He has destined to be at your side forever. You will feel the Godly love arising and it may turn your world upside down. But once you let it into your heart you will never want to live without it and you will be truly in love forever!
Jesus is truly in love with His bride and he doesn't mind waiting for her to get ready for the wedding.
He longs for her though and cannot wait to hold her in His arms forever.
The Holy Spirit, cleanses her from all impurities and makes her holy and pure.
His love is for people of all ages, colors, social backgrounds you name it. It has no boundaries.
Just step into His world of love and become one with Him in Spirit mind, heart and soul.
You are invited to become His bride and to soar the heights and depths of love beyond conception.
Why wait?
Explore this love with me!
Love, Monique
