Cleave unto another

My sister got married on the 12th.

At her ceremony I read from Philippians:

Christ's Example of Humility

 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.  Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

I just read it not really sinking in what I was reading.Then I went to a Hillsong United concert last night. Their focus was Jesus, of course. They weren't there to put on a show, instead to worship with fellow brothers and sisters it was incredible. 

They were there to worship Jesus, the savior that was perfectly spotless and still humbled himself to take His father's wrath for the world on his shoulders. To die the death that we deserve and it was powerful. I don't think I've ever sang so loud in my life. Everyone around us was pouring out their soul, basking in this glory. Rejoicing and completely emptying themselves to bring praise to our mighty savior.

When I had read this at the wedding, I knew the purpose was to commit to each other a life of humility. They followed it with a foot washing so they had a public symbol backing their verbal commitment. But, the band during the concert kept reminding us of the humility of Christ. The ultimate surrender that saved us all. That we were the bride. But, we need to be the church. Yes, we are married to Christ but, are we living as wives, submitting to their husbands? Am I being humble and giving my life to God? No, I'm not. Realizing that smoked me. God certainly ripped that curtain from my eyes.

So, I made that commitment again, Jesus, have your way, have your way, have your way. I kept asking and praying that. God almighty, have your way in my life. I want to live that way, to be living completely for the Lord with Jesus at my side. A beautiful marriage.
