hee. desiree shared quite well today during hall cell and her message was quite nice too! she shared about how we are different attributes between us and our God. how He is the potter and we are the clay. how He is the shepherd and we are like sheep. and personally He is my Father and i am His daughter. and also He is my King and so im a Princess!! so nice!! =))
she shared this too..read on =))
A radiant bride greeted her guests with a brilliant smile as she entered the reception hall after the wedding ceremony. She gracefully moved about the room, the train of her white gown flowing along the floor behind her, her veil cascading down her button-adorned back.
She conversed with each guest one by one, taking the time to mingle and soak up the compliments. "You look abosolutely lovely." "Your dress is devine." "I've never seen a more beautiful bride" The lavish praises rang on and on. The bride couldn't be more proud or more appreciative of the crowd's adoration. She could have listened to them swoon over her all evening. As a matter of fact, she did.
But where was the groom? All the attention focused on the bride and never once did she call anyone's attention to her husband. She didn't even notice his absence at her side. Scannin the room, I searched for him, wondering, where could he be?
I finally found him, but not where I expected him to be. The groom stoond alone over in the corner of the room with his head down. As he stared at his ring, twisting the gold band that his bride had just placed on his finger, tears trickled down his cheeks and onto his hands. That is when I noticed the nail scars. The groom was Jesus.
He waited, but the bride never once turned her face toward her groom. She never held His hand. She never introduced the guests to Him. She operated independently of Him.
that's enough rite? do you get the meaning? it just portrays how God will so silently wait on one side for us to just turn to Him. He will never forsake us and He will never want any one of us to fall away from His side. for myself, i always imagine Him to be waiting by the side of my bed to just talk to me. He won't force me to do things against my will but He will patiently wait for Me to submit to His will. like how i was lost years ago, He still brought me back to Him in the end. and i pray that i will not get lost again. this little story also says how sometimes when things are just perfect for us, we forget to give glory to God. instead we bask in the light and throw Him aside, as if as everything that happened was by our own efforts. God's love runs so deep and so wide, but that does not mean that we should take it for granted rite? we must NOT!
wells..that was just a nice little story to share =))
im all His =))
