In God we Trust....all others pay Cash!



Just a little humor. . . Hello there my precious readers. We have now returned from the Florida coasts and back with more inspirational marriage insights just for you.

In today's segment, our title is really referring to your acts of commitment in your marriages. What I mean by that is this:
Marriage is more than just saying the words: "I do". Behind those words comes a commitment of action. A commitment of true and real love. A commitment of sacrifice and patience. The action of endurance, long suffering and faith.
One will ask: why is there suffering in a marriage? The truth of the matter is, you're not really suffering; you are actually choosing to exchange your old life (single) to your new life of marriage. (no more twain but one flesh). It is much like inviting Christ into your life: 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
You see, when you have accepted Christ into your life, it is because you have invited Him, it was a choice. The same in marriage, it is a choice. . . .your choice.
God has never forced His way or will on any man or woman.

Hebrews 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: . . . so as you can see my dear friends, it is so important to learn the ways of the Lord for marriage so that your lives and marriages are no longer a task but a revelation; and through His mighty spirit, we then become the creations that we were intended to be. Yes, marriage is a spiritual thing. It's not a corporation nor an organization; it's a life style ordained and sanctioned by God.
In God we trust. That's your assurance that your paths will be directed. "Others pay cash. . . .well you're not really paying for it, you are revealing through your obedience of God's instructions, a union of matrimony untainted by tradition and society. You then represent an entity of "oneness" designed to testify to the world a committed fellowship. . . . it's called marriage.
Amos 3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed? . . .of course not. The price you pay is your commitment, that's real marriage.
What's the message here?. . . Trust in God and pay the price of commitment to each other. The fruits of that union will generate peace, love , long suffering, gentleness, kindness, meekness, joy, and contentment.
Who do you trust in . . . .and are you willing to commit? It's time now for you to decide. After all, it is your marriage!
So. . . .Have wonderful day and always remember: YOU ARE BLESSED!
