Raisa and Earl's Wedding


God provides. He knows what we want in life and gives us what we need. God provides us every person and everything in our life not because we truly deserve them but because He loves us. Jesus Himself told us this, “As the Father loves me so I love you.”

Whether we pray or not, God loves us and He still provides us the same sunshine and rain which everybody receives. Whether we pray with general or with specific petition, God provides what is best for us. Yet, we still need to pray. Though we may not get all what we want, through prayers, we may dispose ourselves to accept whatever and whoever God provides us in life.

Raisa and Earl, you know how God provides you to each other. Earl, you asked your cousin to get you a beautiful pair for her wedding entourage and so it came true. Raisa, you specifically prayed to God to give you the man of your dream, and so it came true. Both your prayers were granted by God not just because you deserve them but because God loves you.

God loves you that it so happened almost five years ago, you first met each other during a wedding. Your first meeting in a wedding now ends up here in your own wedding. You are together again in a wedding entourage, but here and now, it is already your wedding entourage.

Raisa and Earl, if you believe that God loves you and provides you to each other as a lifetime partner, stay together in His love. You stay together in His love when you pray together. You stay together in love if you pray for each other.

Remain in God’s love by keeping His commandments. It is by remaining in God’s love that your joy today shall be made complete. Remember Jesus said this, “Remain in my love. I have told you this so that my own joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.”

Raisa and Earl, now that you become fully aware how God loves you as He provides you to each other as a gift, let your marriage be your gift to God. Let your marriage be a sign of God’s love in this world where true love is scarce. Raisa and Earl, be God’s instruments to tell the world there is love that is meant to be forever because nothing is impossible for God. May God bless you as a newly-wedded couple.
