A Love Like No Other

I wish I had the words to express how incredibly special it was to participate the wedding of Shari & Caleb - what an honor! I was blessed to get you know Shari years ago as her church youth leader. It was a privilege to see her grow & mature through the years and I couldn't be more happy that God brought his wonderful young man into her life. Their love for God and one another was so evident throughout the entire day.

I felt the need to include the devotional from the "Jesus Calling" book from the day of your wedding - July 20th...I believe it is the desire of both your hearts and my prayer for you both: seek Him first, don't be afraid to be different (even in your marriage - love one another like no other - a love that can come only from Christ alone).


(Excerpt from Jesus Calling)

SEEK MY FACE, and you will find all that you have longed for. The deepest yearnings of your heart are for intimacy with Me. I know, because I designed you to desire Me. Do not feel guilty about taking the time to be still in My Presence. You are simply responding to the tugs of divinity within you. I made you in My image, and I hid heaven in your heart. Your yearning for Me is a form of homesickness: longing for your true home in heaven. 

Do not be afraid to be different from other people. The path I have called you to travel is exquisitely right for you. The more closely you follow My leading, the more fully I can develop your gifts. To follow Me wholeheartedly, you much relinquish your desire to please other people. However, your closeness to Me will bless others by enabling you to shine brightly in this dark world.

Psalm 42:1-2; Psalm 34:5; Philippians 2:15
