Kari Jobe Gets Married With Cody Carnes, Says Wedding A 'Taste of Heaven' (Photos)

Grammy-nominated Christian artist Kari Jobe got a "taste of heaven" at her wedding on Friday, where she got married to her worship colleague and best friend Cody Carnes.

While a wedding is one of the most significant days in a person's life, the Bible recorded that Jesus performed a miracle of turning the water into wine at a wedding banquet, signifying a life with God only gets better and better as time passes.

As for Jobe, her wedding showed her a glimpse of what heaven is like. "I'm married!!! Yesterday was more than a dream, more than a reality - it was a taste of Heaven," she wrote on social media a day after her wedding.

As a Christian, Jobe believes that God, who is Jesus Christ, lives in the believers, and that His presence is shown through the Holy Spirit, which is the true and unconditional love. The 33 year old testified of this joy that she's dreamed of, but was better than what she imagined.

"I've decided that God loves weddings. His presence was stronger than I've ever felt in my whole life," she wrote on Saturday.

Her comments testified of the God's faithfulness in fulfilling His promises as written in the scripture. In June 2013, Jobe gave an advice to young girls and single women during an interview at the K-Love Fan Awards.

"God's timing is perfect, you know, and everyone's walking through things that they're having to trust the Lord for His timing," she said. "My favorite scripture verse is Psalm 27:14, it says: 'Wait on the Lord, be of good courage and He will strengthen your heart.' So, I know that He's had me wait. I'm in my 30s right now, you know, He's had me wait because His timing is perfect."
