The Steps

The steps to my wedding day...

As I prayed for my wedding,
----Jesus prayed in the olive garden.
As I went to spa and got a massage,
----He was being scourged.
As I was crowned with flowers,
----He was crowned with thorns.
As my face was covered with a beautiful veil,
----His face was covered with blood.
As my aisle was decorated with beautiful candles and people blessing me,
----His road to Golgotha was decorated with beatings and people cursing Him.
As I was carrying a beautiful rose bouquet,
----He was carrying a heavy cross.
As I had my dad to walk with me proudly,
----He had nobody but Simon who was forced to help Him.
As people commented on how beautiful I was,
----nobody wanted to look at His face.
And as I was called up to the altar to receive His body,
----He was up on the cross to be united with the Father.

And what a fool I was - for He did give me everything I asked, to show me that I already had His all.
