LIWD :: day 31 :: Breaking Your Alabaster Box

What is in your alabaster box?  Is your box full of fantasies that began as a little girl while you listened to and watched fairy tales about an enchanting couple living happily ever after?  Have you been holding on tightly to your alabaster box of dreams, frantically searching for a man worthy of breaking your box?  Take your alabaster box to Jesus and break it in His presence, for He is worthy of such honor.  Having responded to your heavenly Bridegroom in such a manner, you can wait with confident assurance that, if it be God's will, He will provide you with an earthly bridegroom.

How do you know if you have broken your alabaster box at the feet of Jesus?  Such a decision will be reflected in reckless abandonment to the Lordship of Jesus Christ....  Take your alabaster box, with your body, soul and dreams, and entrust them to Jesus. When He is your Lord, you can joyfully walk in the path of life that He has for you.

...Have you broken the valuable alabaster box yet?

How do you know if you have broken your alabaster box at the feet of Jesus?

No earthly man will ever be truly worthy of your alabaster box...just as you will never be truly worthy of theirs.  But there's hope.  Jesus.  By submitting fully to Him, recklessly abandoning yourself to Him, you will allow Him to live through you. 

When the light of Jesus can be seen through your eyes, and you find a man who radiates that same light, together, you can unite in Jesus' name.  Together, you can give your lives to the Lord.

If it's God's will for you to marry, you will.  God will bring you your prince.  He won't be perfect.  It may take awhile.  Trust in His timing.  He knows what He's doing.  He won't bring you together before you're both ready.

So take that alabaster box and break it at the feet of Jesus.  Ask Him to cleanse you of your sin.  Ask Him to enter, not only your heart, but you're whole life.  Ask Him to live through you.  Ask Him to mold you in His image.  And pray that your godsent is doing the same.
