Are you ready Bride?

A lot goes in to getting ready for a wedding, I didn't think it did when I got engaged, but boy do I know now! My wedding day is just two days away and I am just overwhelmed with all of the little "last minute details", as they call them. I'm making sure the vendors are set, the groomsmen have picked up tuxes, the decorations are ready to go... it's all so much. But out of all the "last minute details," being spiritually ready should surpass all priorities.
Because honestly, when your being given away to your handsome groom he will be accepting your heart and all that's in it. This may include:

1. Your Baggage

All those past hurts, fears, relationships, and issues are there and will come boiling up in your marriage if not dealt with beforehand. Let God renew your heart and wash away all the pain of yesterdays.
Psalm 147:3 says "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."
Isiah 43:18- says "Do not call to mind the former things, Or ponder things of the past..."Behold, I will do something new"

2. Your Family

Maybe you come from a white fence house with a perfect family, but many of you don't. Remember that how you were raised is a big part of who you are, and sometimes we need to help rewrite our families history by perusing a new route. Don;t bring the curses of your family in to your new home. If your family doesn't serve God, well YOU and your house will! If your family suffered from addiction, well you and your home will not! You get my drift? You have the great opportunity to start your home with your husband off right byt keeping Christ center in your home.

Joshua 24:15 "...But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD."
Ephesians 5:31 "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh."

3. Your Relationship with Christ

The Bible warns us not to be unequally yoked, most of you think this is in reference to choosing your  ate, it is, but it also means that you should not enter in to a union with a Man of God with a heart that's weak. You need to be equally yoked right up with him. Get in the word, spend time in worship outside of church, and just dwell in the presence of God plentifully. Your husband should be the spiritual leader of your household but that doesn't mean you get to take it easy. You've got to be spiritually athletic too!
2 Corinthians 6:14 "Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?"
Genesis 2:18 "Then the Lord God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for hi." 

So get spiriutally in shape! You're heart is the most precious thing you can give to your husband and  you should be prepared to give it with confidence that God has transformed your heart and made you pure and Holy! 

Then get married and change the world!!!! You go girl!
