Full of life, full of love, full of joy. Full forever.
She is my "help meet" in every sense of the word.
She is my life's companion, my adviser, my joy when I am down, my aid when I am burdened, the one who shares in my joy. We are inseparable in the flesh and when we are physically apart she is with me in heart. "Oneness" is the garment we wear, and we change it not. In the beginning it was a simple cloak, but over the years Love has bejeweled it to a rob of elegance. It fits us well, keeping us together by it's singularity but with enough room for us to grow within it's fabric. We live as one!
One purpose, one life, one God, one hope, one prayer, one person. Two body's united by God's design in marriage and one expression of Christ and His church. There is great freedom in this oneness as each plays a turn in the advancement of the other. Undying support, loving help, sincere heart for the betterment of the other. We are two oxen yoked together fitting the same field for harvest. A harvest to be seen by all of Love, joy, and peace in the Holy Spirit. Fruits acceptable to God and promising to this creation as needed nourishment, ripened in "it's time."
I could of hoped to learn all this for myself but God seen fit to give it to me as a revelation so that I wouldn't slow down the process of it's reception and placement. "In Him we live and move and have our being." In Him: His love, mercy, joy, peace, forgiveness, grace and long suffering, which is toward us the very example that He shows for us to "follow after." A marriage made in heaven by design of the Father of all creation. A marriage made heaven before the words "in the beginning" were ever spoke by the foreknowledge of Our Father, set by His aforethought that we might Magnify His name and glorify His purpose in Christ.
Love never fails..............and this is what marriage is all about. He first Loved us and commands us to Love one another with the same passion. Marriage is the "proof" of that Love, both the Love of God and the showing it forth in the Love of man toward his wife. We are only made complete by Love. Love of God, Love by God, and Love for one another. This is true for Elise A. Cavasin and I. Of all the many things that marriage is supposed to reconcile the greatest of them is Love.
Love is proof that God exists because He first Loved. There is no "true" Love without God because Love as God (for God is Love) is eternal. It's practice transcends time and failure. If we love not then we know not God for God is Love. Our marriage has been nurtured on His Love by revelation in the heart (not head knowledge) so it's endurance is sure, timeless.
As the Lord lives, He will be the Love that binds this cord both now and in eternity.
I thank God for His most perfect Gift of Love and the command to "Follow Me."
Life is good because Love is real through Christ Jesus our Lord.
Thank you Elise for "entering in" by saying yes all those years ago, and growing in grace and Love with me ever since.
Love
Moi
