One of my favorite moments in ministry is when I stand up here with two trembling hearts standing before me at the wedding ceremony. May I remind you of what they agree to be at just one portion called the LIGHTING THE UNITY CANDLE:
The two outside candles have been lighted to represent your lives to this moment. They are two distinct lights, each capable of going its separate way. To bring joy and radiance into your home, there must be the merging of these two flames into one.
From this time onward may your thoughts be for each other rather than for your individual selves; may your plans be mutual, your joys and sorrows shared.
Wow, every time I say that it gives me shivers of joy to think that is what our marriages are all about. The Lord has offered each of us a choice. We can either choose to follow His plan or ours through life. One of the most visible of all our choices is the person we marry. The choice is either a marriage after our own heart or after Godās own heart. The results are either
Remember you only get one chance in life to start with a wonderful Biblical marriage. It is worth the wait. Donāt squander one of the greatest areas of life by doing your own thing instead of Godās! I think the choice is yours. Where are you headed in your marriage and as a family this morning? You will never get to anywhere you are not headed right now! But if we arenāt careful, what is the other choice? It is called unhappiness, unfaithfulness, hardness, and divorce.
