BEAUTIFUL
BRIDE
With awed anticipation, the elders,
the living creatures, the seraphim, the cherubim, … all creation sat hushed as
the Groom entered the sanctuary. At his
side were his attendants, Michael and Gabriel.
Waiting for them, center-stage, the Ancient of Days raised his hands for
all to stand as she stepped into the room, making her way forward, slowly,
eagerly, anxiously, incredulously …
Relegated to some dark balcony, the
demons, who had often hissed about her faults and blemishes, could almost see
through their distorted eyes, but only almost.
She glanced in their direction, and caught her breath, only for a
moment. (but, like Daniel’s lions, their mouths are sealed) She marveled, “… how did this day ever
get here? I do not deserve Him …” Then, she looked toward Him, and her heart
skipped a beat!
A smile, as wide as the cosmic
horizon, came across His face. What He sees is His “Beautiful Bride” dressed in
white, perfect and radiant. He vowed his
love, forever, completely, and boundlessly!
And, then they dance together, swaying and waltzing up into the stars. There will be no midnight for the magic to
end!
