The Real Glory of God

May 23, 2014
 
Dear Bride and Groom,
 
Today puts the finishing touch on what would be an honor given in heaven itself.
 
Ten years ago, the Lord allowed your hearts to knit together with a strength that surpassed not only the oppression of all outside influences but the disruption of internal distress that would have spoiled a lesser bond.
 
Bride, speaking on behalf of my family, it has been our privilege to walk side by side with you over the last 10 years.  We have learned of the glories of the Lord in a way that would have otherwise been unachievable.  We have seen the sweet relief of His sure freedom and the refuge that He gives from complications that man tries to impose.  We are enjoying His many rich rewards with you as you and Groom believed that He is enough for absolutely everything.
 
The Groom's family has a lasting gift that will never fade.  We are beyond delighted in our longtime dear friend who is now our new family member.  Your uncommon strength, confidence, liberty, peace and simplicity are anchored in our Deliverer, Jesus Christ.  Groom, you have done exceptionally well.
 
If anyone wonders what triumph in Christ might be, they can look at the two of you today and see it written on you with His sure hand.


With love from the Father of the Groom
