Come home My Bride.
The Wedding Dress...... One morning as I woke up, thoughts of my upcoming wedding flooded my mind. My wedding dress hung in my closet. It was covered with plastic to protect it. I thought, "I'm going to do something crazy today. I'm going to put my dress, veil, and shoes on and take a walk to town." I wanted to know how it felt to walk in a dress that expressed my love for my Bridegroom. As I walked along, I pretended to be walking down the aisle, looking to the One I would be spending the rest of my life with. How I longed for my Groom to come and capture me away! I would soon be His forever!! As I walked along, I wasn't paying attention where I stepped. I felt a pull near the hem. I looked down to see what happened. In horror I saw a large rip around the lace. I had become entangled in thorns. As I reached down to try to remove them, I lost my balance, fell, and landed in the dirt. I became so upset I thought about just giving up and walking home. But I thought, "No, I'm not going to let what happened ruin my day." Again I walked. Further down the road, I heard a car. My eyes focused on a puddle of water. I thought, OH NO! Just as I thought that, I heard and felt the splash. Mud now covered my dress, my veil, my shoes and the pearls I had so painstakingly sewed on it. I turned and walked back home. When I looked in the mirror, I couldn't believe how dirty I had become. I cried in shame, blaming myself for being so stupid. Why did I do that? Why didn't I just leave the dress covered?! My wedding dress for our special day was now stained, wrinkled and torn! Just then, I heard the love-filled voice of my Groom speaking softly to my broken heart. He reminded me of His great love for me. He also reminded me that He loves me just the way I am. He continued by saying, "I chose you. I love you. I died for you." He wiped my eyes and saved the tears. The dress now had my tears mixed with the mud. He continued, "Kelly, I can mend that tear in the lace. I can mend the parts of your heart that have been torn. My blood can wash all of the dirt and mud away. Remember, I am the Pearl of Great Price. After I'm finished cleaning your dress, the pearls that you sewed on will be as they were before. The Wind of My Spirit will blow every wrinkle away. So, I handed Him the dress, fully trusting Him to make it as beautiful as it was before. I went to sleep. When I woke up the next day, I saw the dress hung on the outside of my closet. There was no protective covering on it to keep it clean. He again spoke to me. He said, "There is no need for plastic to protect your dress, because I am your protective covering. I will keep it spotless for you, if you come to me when it needs repair." Do you want to try it on now?," He asked. After I was completely dressed, He reminded me to always be ready. When I looked in the mirror, I coudn't believe what I saw. It was so white! Whiter than anything I'd seen on earth before!! The hem had been mended. Not only were the pearls shining brillianty, He had applied a diamond next to every pearl. The whole dress was covered with diamonds and pearls. And when the Light of the Son hit it, every color on earth and colors I've never seen before radiated from the dress. As I placed the veil on my head, I felt His glory fall on the veil and then completely cover me. I bowed down because the weight of His Glory was so strong, I could no longer stand. I looked in the mirror and I saw His reflection, not mine. He was smiling with approval. As I stood up, I heard a trumpet blow. I heard a shout, "COME UP HERE!" Before I could think, there I was with Him. The Bridegroom had come!! My home He built for me was prepared. The veil was lifted and I coud see for the first time, my King, my Redeemer, my Best Friend, my Deliverer, my Husband!!! I began walking down the aisle with my arm in my Father's. And forever will I share my life with the One I have waited all my life to see. Jesus!!!!!!!! Kelly Nutt, copyright 2009 Aug. 3, 2009
The U.S. Constitution's eight amendment states: 'Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. Prisoners escape cruel and unusual punishment. Animals are eunthanized in a painless way. What about our babies? 3 types of abortions are beyond horrible.
