I Still Do: A Letter to the Becoming Bride
Seven years ago, you said "I do" with a heart filled with expectancy, not knowing the Greatest was in the "still" of the best to come What was once your shame is now your strength And now you're able to see your failure as formation The first trip to the altar wasn't your ending, it was your beginning What started then, was never preparation for the woman to simply meet the man, marry, and live happily ever after It was and is now continued preparation for the Bride to meet the Groom of all groomers.. Christ The man in the suit will never be the destination. Only the Groom's best man. And your maid of honor, dear Bride? is your becoming Stay postured You are not walking back down an aisle You are walking down assignment Straight into covenant The vow that was spoken over you before you were formed in your mother's womb So cheers to today You completed what you started A deposit only God witnessed A devotion only He could write You are now in your ReBRIDEing season Redressed in obedience Renamed in purpose Recalled for glory To the becoming bride in you and those in formation, Know this: The true love story isn't just about the rings It's about the roots So yes, I sill do. Not to the fairytale But to the faithful-tale The faithful-tale to the press Until I'm in the presence of the One who said, "It is finished" And to the One who'll one day say "Well done" Stamped, The Bride Becoming today From the desk of LoveLetter625
