I started my day at 5:00 am sharing in the excitement of the royal wedding. I wanted to watch Kate Middleton live every little girl's dream of marrying a charming prince! I couldn't help but get a little choked up over the fact that she probably never thought as a little "commoner" girl growing up that she would one day be the main attraction at a royal wedding...and there she stood. The entire ordeal was captivating to say the least; and I found myself wondering what it would be like to be a guest at the royal wedding, better yet, to be the bride!
I found this wonderful treasure of a verse this morning in Hebrews 12:28, "Since we are receiving a Kingdom that is unshakeable, let us be thankful and please God by worshipping him with holy fear and awe." God used this to remind me that what He has for me, and everyone who accepts his invitation, is so much more worth looking forward to! Everything else we have or will ever have known will pale in comparison to what Christ is preparing for us in heaven. Jesus states in John 14:2-3 "My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am."
My very own Royal Celebration draws nearer everyday! I've already accepted my invitation. Have you? All are cordially invited...
Kameish, I agree you are fearfully, & wonderfully made! Thanks for these beautiful words of encouragement! What a sweet reminder of the day that is quickly approaching & makes me anticipate it even more! It was a beautiful ceremony but Westminster Abby & Buckingham Palace are still definitely pale in comparison to what Christ is preparing for us!! Plus we'll be with the Bridegroom..The King of Kings!! :)
