It was this awful trapped feeling of having to carry out something of monumental importance that you should've prepared for, but hadn't. Finally, I decided I didn't want to cancel the whole wedding since all the guests were already there, so I went back to sit down with the wedding party, waiting for the ceremony to start. I kept peeking down the row, trying to decide who I was going to marry - the cute guy with the receding hairline or the sober dark-haired man? I couldn't decide and there was no way to know.
Then, abruptly, I was walking out of church to the reception which was down by a one room schoolhouse and a sandpit. Although I'd apparently just gotten married, I still didn't know who my groom was. After greeting a few guests, I started wandering, hoping he'd recognize me as his bride and claim me. I saw Alyssa's family (some of the few guests I recognized and I don't even know them) but I never found out who I was married to.
This was just a dream. I won't wax too metaphorical on you, but it got me thinking. Would what I felt about being unprepared for my wedding, would be how I feel if I'm unprepared for Jesus's return? And do I know Jesus well enough to recognize him when I see him? I mean his heart and his passions, his loves and hatreds. I want to know my King and I want to be ready when he gets back.

I think I had a dream like that once, too. I don't remember it, though. I usually don't remember dreams that well, unless they're really bad or really amazing.
ReplyDeleteI've been having a *lot* of dreams lately. It's a little disturbing. ^_^
