Once upon a time, there was a boy and a girl who lived not far from one another, but yet, did not know each other. Time passed and from the outside, one would say they were on two diverging paths. But God had other plans. The two grew up and both found their way back to the towns they grew up in. Both felt a pull on their hearts to serve in ministry at a church they had both been going to from time-to-time, but had never seen one another. The moment they met there was a spark. It could hardly be explained given both acknowledged how incredibly different they were. However, it would soon blossom into an unfathomable affection. As they grew closer, they entered into a relationship, one that they both knew had purpose, but was racked by a lack of dedication to the One who brought them together. Soon that would all change. The couple would learn how to be in a relationship that brings glory to God. They would learn that true love is self-denial and true adoration a mission to better the other person. Their hearts would be filled with an unceasing joy, one that endures throughout the disappointments and triumphs of life. What they found in one another, was not just a beloved and a best friend, but a soul mate. Not a soul mate in the loose sense of the word we've become accustomed to, but a life-partner who understands the other on the deepest levels of their existence. It did not take long for the couple to know they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. And from that moment, it was a matter of waiting. Waiting on the One who brought them together to reveal the time to take the next step. If you're reading this, then you know that the time came, and boyfriend and girlfriend became fiancés. Now, fiancés will soon become husband and wife. The love between Chrissy and Alex is far more beautiful than anything they could have imagined. What they have discovered is that it is not the love they actually searched for, but it is everything they needed.
