Your Carriage Awaits....

 How many times have little girls dreamt some handsome man coming up in a splendid uniform and saying, "Your carriage awaits, m'am" ?  Probably more times that one could count.  Still, the little girl would dream that she is regally escorted up and into the carriage for a splendid occasion... maybe a ball, or a parade, or a wedding.  Of course, one must include THE dress. An everyday dress just wouldn't do. It must be special, just right in color, sheen, fit - one to make you feel tremendously splendid. Bodacious, even.  And the prince you will meet... oh, he will be most handsome, gracious, charming and fall madly in love with you.... sigh.

  So, fast forward to now.  What if there is still a carriage awaiting? What if that "prince" is still there  - as gracious, charming and handsome - and is ever the gentleman? What if.... you missed it?  What if, the whole reality is still there waiting for you?  It is.

  You see, the Prince of Glory is still waiting for you.  He is ever the gentleman. Waiting at the door for you to knock, and he is on the other side to answer.*  Waiting for you to invite Him into your life, your heart.  The clothes? It was written about over two thousand years ago!** All YOU have to do is ask Him into your heart. One day He will transport you in His special carriage to the great celebration coming up.  It's only a matter of time, but meanwhile, you can feel cherished right here on earth!

*"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks, the door will be opened." Matthew 7:7-8

** "I delight greatly in the Lord; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels." Isaiah 61:10
