As I was browsing on my facebook, I came across pictures of beautiful young ladies. Some of them are my friends, a few of them I don't even know but they really look pretty in their traje de voda. As I tediously scroll their pictures, thoughts are slowly coming inside of me----- When can I wear this gorgeous white dress? Will also look good if I wear it? What will I feel when I'm wearing it? Am I ready for it?
I am not getting any younger indeed. I'll turn 26 this year and I am thrilled to think that life a day is a day older---When you get to think of wedding, it's an evidence that you are not a kid anymore who only wants fun~ nor a teenager who would only think of adventure~ I am now a young adult who's thinking of stability, future and life with someone prepared to me by the Lord. I am wondering if a person get married because they want it or because they are really ready for the next journey and the responsibility of their life.
I am sometimes asked by people, when are you getting married? are you married? and my answer has always been "Yes" inside of me but of course I'm not married to a guy-- YES, I AM MARRIED TO JESUS. ^______^ I am wearing the best traje de voda and I just cannot contain in me the feeling of being secured with the marriage that I have with Him. I realized that for us to be responsible in the real marriage of this world, we have to first be responsible with our commitment to Jesus. If we aren't that strong with our relationship to Jesus, getting married to a guy in this world will even be harder. It's not for you to believe me or be persuaded by my lessons in life but it's for you to find it out yourself.
Commit yourself to the Lord Jesus Christ. Repent and give all your heart to Him. It's not an easy responsibility but it's worth it and the feeling of security can never be compared to any source of happiness in this world. I can honestly say to myself, having Him in my life has always been the best thing that ever happened to me. More than a guy could give, more than materials can provide, more than career can satisfy... it's a feeling that I wish everybody can feel.
To all of you who's thinking of marriage, that's normal---- but come to think of it? if you are not that committed to the word of God, If you are not that committed to obey ALL--- if you are living in this world trying to compromise the things that God had already set in this life--- then think again, ask yourself...ARE YOU REALLY READY? :)
Getting married to someone is like getting married to the Lord. It means that we should focus ourselves to just Him, don't sin not because you are required of it but because you are so much in love with the Lord and you don't want to exchange Him to anything else and you don't want to disappoint Him by committing a sin. It's different when you do it, because you love to do it--- and you do it because you are required to do it.
It's like in marriage, you don't commit adultery not thinking of it as a law and as a sin but you don't do it because you are in love with your husband and you don't want to hurt him. That is what you called real commitment.
TRAJE DE VODA, it may look good on you---- but it will only be near perfect if you have Jesus in you.----- Make HIM your first priority, marry Him----and you'll find out yourself, how fulfilling it is to be with Him.
At 26 when everybody else seems to be getting married already, the pressure is taking a toll on us.. I know I'm not gonna get married yet because I still don't feel secure to raise a family nor am I in a committed relationship at this point.. But you are right, I now start to ask myself when will I get married... That gorgeous white dress.. I cringe at the thought though and I don't know why..
