The overriding moment in it all though was that moment when the father of my children and my oldest daughter walked down that aisle toward her groom. The ceremony was not traditional in the sense of songs. There was no wedding march. No Bach or Beethoven. Just two of the most talented and gifted musicians we know. Their music and their voices singing in harmony~"How He Loves Us".
Oh, how He loves us. Oh, how He loves us. Yes, He loves us so!
The picture could not be missed on anyone that was present at that moment. The beautiful bride standing with the first man in her life walking toward the new man in her life with her heavenly Father right alongside. Trey representing the Groom. Katie representing the Church. The two becoming one. A union that will glorify the Kingdom. Two young believers who will be so much stronger knit together as one.
My prayer for you, sweet friends, is that you know this week that you have a Father who loves you so. A Father who adores you. Delights in you. Loves you no matter what. His Grace is sufficient for you. His strength can be your joy. His Spirit can teach you and bless you. Receive that love this week and simply be still and know...
Oh, how He loves you so!!!
"What marvelous love the Father has extended to us!
Just look at it—we're called children of God!
That's who we really are. But that's also
why the world doesn't recognize us
or take us seriously, because it has no idea
who He is or what He's up to."
1 John 3:1 the message
