Each morning I enjoy time alone with the Lord – reading His Word, praying for my husband, my family, friends and for the day ahead. I usually write out my prayers along with my thoughts in my journal allowing me refer back to it whenever I’m prompted to do so. This happened today as Tom and I were contemplating what to post.

I saw a husband and wife who were busy attending to the needs of their family, their home, their church, when they heard the Father call their names. He led them to a door in their house they had never noticed before. The words were heard, “Enter into My joy – My presence.” And the door opened.

As they walked into the dark room together the door closed behind them as the lights turned on. The circular room was empty, but the walls were lined with mirrors. The immediate desire was to leave. The stark reality the mirrors reflected made the husband and wife very uncomfortable, even disturbed. They turned to exit, but the door was hidden behind a mirror. All the husband could see was a reflection of himself; all the wife could see was a reflection of herself. Their flaws were screaming at them, but their was no chance to escape. Instead they clung to each other looking into each other’s eyes. There they found comfort, support and help. They closed their eyes and embraced each other for what seemed an extended time. They whispered affections and heartfelt adorations all the while praising God for the gift of their partner, lover, friend.

What seemed frightening now became curious. They opened their eyes and the most beautiful music began to play. They felt it so intensely their bodies began to dance together. Their hearts and lives were caught up in the rhythm of the glorious music. Looking in the mirrors they saw something that startled them both; they had become one and were being led across the dance floor by Him – the lover of their souls. No longer did they notice their own flawed reflections. They noticed the One who had been leading them all along. Beautiful in Holiness. Immediately, they looked up noticing there was no ceiling in this room, the heavens loomed large above and this is from where the music was coming. It was the music of heaven and only One was watching – the only One who mattered.

The husband and wife realized their oneness was a reflection of Him who called them to be one. Their separate reflections no longer disturbed them because of their acceptance by Him who made them. They longed to dance forever in praise and thanksgiving, but suddenly the music softened, the lights went out and the hidden door opened. “Go”, the voice was heard, “return to the life I’ve called you to, only never forget for whom it is you live and move and have your being. You are reflecting Me to a dark world. And your marriage glorifies Me, even with all your flaws. I have called you to dance and as you do, others will hear the music and join in the praise.

See, I have said this to you to draw your hearts to each other as never before. Do not delay; come to Me, and I will unite your hearts again and you will dance — for My glory and your pleasure.
