The Veil

Just the other day, 31 years ago I saw her tears through her veil Tears that the sun shone through As she walked down her aisle Towards me. A precious veil That only two can know. The veil made her face look white As if it was a light source. Through that veil She made made her promises Her vows That she now fulfills. Every day Every event Every relationship Every pain Every joy. Through that veil Through joyful words Yet trembling voice Came an ancient yet present commitment. Through the veil, a bride makes her promise After the veil is lifted, the promise is kept. Two become one. Life is shared. Just like when one turns to Jesus The veil is lifted, and Two become one Life is shared... Within the veil. ____________ And Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and breathed His last. Then the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. (?Mark? ?15?:?37-38? NKJV) by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, (?Hebrews? ?10?:?20? NKJV) and behind the second veil, the part of the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of All, (?Hebrews? ?9?:?3? NKJV) Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. (?II Corinthians? ?3?:?16? NKJV) “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. (?Ephesians? ?5?:?31-32? NKJV)
