Let it Go!

Unforgiveness is the gift that keeps on giving. Many of us have been wrongfully hurt by others but instead of letting it go we allow the offense to play over and over in our hearts and minds. What we fail to realize is Gods plan to forgive not only frees us from pain afflicted by others but also from the painful thoughts that invades our hearts and minds  like a  invading cancer. Bitterness and resentment are the side affects of unforgiveness, and if we give place for them in our hearts we will soon see everything in life through the lens of past pains.  Let it go, release those that have wronged you if not for them do it for yourself. Because choosing to not forgive shackles you to your own personal failures. Matthew‬ ‭6:15‬ ‭KJV‬‬ “But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”

Stay Connected

Do you remember the Joy of your wedding day? Do you remember the day you and your spouse openly confessed your love to each other? Oh how we enjoyed doing simple things together. It was just an awesome feeling when we were free to love and enjoy what God had joined together. We must intentionally live in that same space. We must learn how to enjoy the ever changing journey of life without becoming disconnected, disjoined, divided, split apart or torn apart or put asunder.  We must protect the love with have for each other by constantly holding or marriage up to God so that we can continually see His marvelous plan for our Union. Oh yes we must remember God has a Plan for our marriage. So learn each day how to express Love to your spouse in new ways so that you can stay "Joined Together"

“And said, For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and shall be united firmly (joined inseparably) to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh? [Gen. 1:27; 2:24.] So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder (separate).”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭19:5-6‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Protector

As a husband we should never protect ourselves at our wives expense. We must learn to be truthful and honest men of integrity.  Sometimes lying may seem easier in the moment but it never pays off in the long run. Abram learned this lesson when in fear of the wrath of the King he lied and said his wife was his sister so that he could save his own skin. “And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.”

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭20:2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The outcome of this decision could have meant Abimelech could have committed adultery with Sarah. Question have you ever covered your own behind by using your wife as a shield. If so its time to man up.
