Love Love Love

I love weddings.

I love the flowers.
I love the bride and grooms.
I love the dresses. 
I love the food.
I love the feeling in the air.
I love the vows.
I love the cake.
I love the LOVE.

Tonight I got to be apart of one of the most lovely, wonderful, beautiful, breathtaking, Christ-centered, marvelous weddings I have ever seen. 

The flowers were spectacular.
The bride looked exquisite and the groom was beaming.
The dresses were lovely.
The food was delicious.
The feeling in the air was overwhelming.
The vows were powerful, authentic, and perfect.
The cake was elegant and scrumptious.
The love was REAL.

The reason for all of this was one thing.

JESUS.

Jesus was at the center of the wedding.
He was at the center of the couple's dating life.
He is at the center of their brand new married life.
He has been the center of it all.

And that is something to look up to.

Zach and Jill, you two showed me so much this weekend. You showed me what it means to trust the plans the Lord has set out. You showed me how God blesses those who wait on Him. You showed me an example of true love that is Christ ordained.

And that is beautiful.

I find so much encouragement from people who are just a few years older than I am whose lives reflect Christ. How lovely and how wonderful. 

I saw true love tonight.

And more than that...

I saw Christ.
