It's the bride's day!
How many times have you heard that statement? The statement is to indicate that everyone should please the bride because it is her day and it should be special for her.
I have always felt sorry for the groom. Isn't it his day too?
Through prayer today, God answered my prayers and I gained a new incite.
Never again will I say "It's the bride's day!" Weddings are not about the bride and the groom. Yes, it is their special day and much of the focus is on them. However, the bride and groom are coming before God to make a commitment to Him to love each other always. Weddings are all about worshipping God.
So the next time I am tempted to say "It's the bride's day, do whatever she wants," I am going to stop myself and say, "It's Christ's day! What would Christ want done."
It is amazing how God continues to work in me and teach me. I am enjoying my daily morning instant messenger prayer time with my friend. We meet every work day morning to pray together on instant messenger.
Today and every day is Christ's day.
This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24
