Greetings Prayer Warriors,
We have this notion in life that all relationships should be
50-50, meaning everyone contributes their share. Thus, we enter into marriage thinking this is
the best plan. I’ll do my part and you
do yours. We always seek a perfect
balance.
If scripture shows us the way, let’s test whether or not
this is a valid hypothesis. There are many passages with Jesus as the
Bridegroom. Not once does he command,
“meet me halfway” but rather we see that He offers himself as gift. 100% committed. Just look at the crucifix. He held nothing back as Bridegroom. He gave His entire life for us, the beloved.
For as a young man marries a virgin, your Builder shall
marry you; And as a bridegroom rejoices in his bride so shall your God rejoice
in you.
Isaiah 62:5
Let us pray that the love of the Holy Spirit pours out upon all
married couples giving them the courage needed to give all and expect nothing
in return. Lord, be generous! Create unity where there is none and make
them one, so that the giving is easy!
Do nothing out of selfishness or out of vainglory; rather, humbly regard others as more important than yourselves, each looking out not for his own interests, but [also] everyone for those of others. Philippians 2:3-4
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
He loves you, the beloved.
Pass it on!
