Greetings Prayer Warriors,
When I ponder divorce rates (close to 50%) and couple it
with the decline in marriage rates, it makes me wonder if there is a
correlation between these declines and the decline in Christianity of nearly 8%
in the last 7 years.* If one does not
know the Lord, and God is but an abstraction rather than one’s rock, compass, fortress, love, or hope, then certainly one wouldn’t think twice about having a cohabitating
relationship or exiting a marriage when it no longer measures up.
However we were made to know Him. Each of us has a longing that only God can
fill.
“This is the covenant I will establish with them after those
days, says the Lord: “I will put my laws
in their hearts, and I will write them upon their minds,’” he also says: “Their
sins and their evildoing I will remember no more.” Hebrews 10:16:17
We are called to evangelize by our words or by how we
live. We are to share the reason for our
hope and God’s love for humanity.
With age-old love I have loved you; so I have kept my mercy
toward you. Jeremiah 31:3
Let us pray that by living a life centered in God, we may be
His instruments in helping others get to know Him. May the Lord penetrate more deeply the hearts
of the married that they may choose to fulfill their covenantal vows of a
life-long marriage.
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
To know Him is to love Him.
Pass it on!
