Engaged

Today a close female friend told me that she is engaged. I saw her ring and shared in her enthusiasm as she explained how the man proposed. I am happy for her. As I observed her excitement I began to realize something. This past week I have been extremely joyful. This is not my normal temperament. This joy is overflowing, unspeakable, and full of glory. My mind has been flooded with images of the return of Jesus to the earth. I am letting my imagination run wild. What a marvelous day this will be. Because I have been dwelling on His return I find myself full of praise and joy. Ironically enough my engaged female friend's name is Joy. As I watched my friend flit about with her excitement about marriage I knew that action mirrored my current mood. I feel like Jesus has just proposed to me. He took me to a romantic place, professed His undying love, and now it is time for me to prepare for the wedding! I am overflowing with adoration and anticipation. This is a glorious season for me. I am falling in love all over again!
