If one of us, say Marisa, were to announce that she was getting married, the first questions she would hear is “Who’s the lucky guy?”. Or if she had posted it on facebook people would flock to her page to see who she was engaged to. These questions asked would be not so much about her, but about the person she had decided to commit to.
When someone asks “Who’s the lucky guy/girl?” we respond with details that describe this person, but also about how this person makes us feel and how happy we are now that they are in our lives. Their influence is reflected in our announcement but also in our demeanor.
In our last post we talked about Christ being the Bridegroom and that in the time that He tarries, we are preparing ourselves to meet Him. When we make a commitment to Christ it is reflected in our demeanor. The change in us is an announcement; it is physical proof of our intimate relationship with Christ. And when people ask us about this change and our happiness, we tell them who the lucky guy is, it’s Christ.
He is the significant other that frees us to live. Live a life of abundance. All of life’s worries are no longer a problem because of Him in our lives. Whatever we lack, He provides. Whatever we need, He supplies. Whenever we fall, He picks us up. We are never lonely, He is always there. Whenever we speak, He hears. His unconditional love for us is not a contract, it is a gift. Christ is the ultimate catch. We are the lucky ones.
To being wise,
Meredith, Jennifer and Marisa
