I
just went to one of the most amazing weddings! Why was it so
amazing…because this couple was hand-picked from the Lord. It was
so obvious…you could almost see the angels being witnesses of this
union. You could feel the holiness of the occasion, and you couldn’t
help but say in your heart… “Lord, I want that.”

It’s
funny how we pray for certain things, and then complain or argue when
God has answered our prayer. I prayed

- I would not have eyes for
anyone who was not my husband.
- Only my husband would have
eyes for me.
I didn’t want there to be any question, I didn’t want
things to be complicated….I just wanted to know that I know, that
this is the right person for me. And the Lord, in His faithful
fashion, answered my prayer…

In my eyes, it was taken to the extreme,
but as always the Lord ways are so much higher than mine. He answered
me by making me completely hidden in Him. I was so hidden, in fact,
that I could speak and it was like no one could hear me. I would walk
into a room and I was completely invisible to everyone there. I
didn’t like this feeling…not that I have to be the center of
attention (I don’t like that feeling either), but I wanted my
presence to at least be acknowledged. So I began to complain about
it, and I started to feel self-pity and like I wasn’t worth anything.

The Lord kept reminding me, where do you place your value, is it in
men and their opinions of you, or do you stand on the fact that I say
you are beautiful, and you are worthy…so much so that
I gave my very life for you? What an internal battle, to
stand firm on an invisible Creator’s words…one who has captured my
heart and proven His love for me time and time again, or to allow the
enemy to use this invisibility to speak lies to me. My choice? To
stand on what my Creator says about me, of course : ) How could I
not? He sees everything, He speaks the truth, and His words are
flawless.

I was reading the Bible this morning, in all His beauty, He took this
hidden thing to a whole new level. (Psalm 31:20 In the shelter of
your presence you hide them from the intrigues of men.) What an
honor..to be considered so valuable and so precious that He hides us.
Close your eyes for a second and imagine that…

A king…the
King…who holds the wealth of the universe, finding YOU to be worth
so much, that He has to keep you hidden. And He will reveal you only
to the one who is worthy enough of such a responsibility, as
protecting and cherishing the King’s most prized possession. Wow!!!
Now that’s love. What a blessing and a privilege to be hidden in
Christ.
