A Catchers Frame of Mind

The guests have arrived.
The party's begun.
The Bride and the Groom are about to meet.
The servant of the groom looks around the room confidently knowing that he has had his master's best interest at heart in dealing with the bride.
The Servant enters the room and quietly takes his place behind the bride to keep her safe from being overwhelmed by the majesty of his Master. The Master comes and takes his Bride’s chin in his hand and lifts her head to gaze deeply into her eyes, a look of passion and gentleness, kindness and purpose,
Adoration and compassion
and pure purpose of love.
She is intoxicated. Her hands begin to shake, her knees begin to buckle, she begins to faint, falling to the floor and the servant catches her carefully, skillfully, gracefully and supports her as she falls to the floor.
The servants see that no harm comes to the bride of his master. That no offense is given to her on this auspicious occasion.
This scenario happens over and over again in churches around the world. Call it Revival. 
Call it renewal.
Call it Reformation, 
but understand it is an overwhelming occasion and great care must be taken to keep the bride’s mind stayed on the groom without unnecessary distraction.
