This past week I performed two wedding ceremonies, two days in a row. I had a couple of moments of concern that I might confuse the details and names of the two couples. Fortunately, nothing like that happened during their ceremonies!
With each wedding, I ask the Lord to reveal to me truth about the couple I'm "marrying." With each request, I have seen Him be faithful to show me something of who He has made them to be. I'm not interested in performing a "stock" ceremony; I want it to be personal...and I want to be able to say something life-giving and truth-revealing about the bride and groom in front of their guests.
It is humbling to see the Lord work like this. It really is Him--not me--who knows the people He has created.
This past week, I was reminded again about how important it is for me to ask God to reveal His heart for His people. It's when I do, that I am able to offer something that's so much more than just a nice comment, but that is life-giving and securing. The things He knows to be true of His kids are the things I want to be saying to them more of the time.
