I'm well aware that this verse is talking about our Lord Jesus, but I can apply it to when Joel and I got together as well. I had truly believed in my heart that I was going to remain single the rest of my life. I lamented that fact that I didn't "belong" to anyone, that there was no "S" behind my name signifying a plurality I would never enjoy. There was just a spark of joy in my life and I wanted more.
Out of sadness came beauty. Our niece, Michelle, died (my brother used to be married to Joel's sister) and we exchanged Facebook names. After that started a relationship like no other. Joel and I were as twin spirits...we liked the same things, we both pointed out the same flaws in movies...we though alike on so many levels. I know God is working in Joel just as He works in me.
I had just about given up hope, and then there was Joel. In five (very short) days I will become his wife.
Yes, it was a beautiful thing.
