Good Morning, today I endeavor to forgive quickly, shod my feet with the sandals of peace, and keep strife out of my home! Society has really done a number on what we should expect and do in our marriages. But here's a truth pill, marriage is not romantic movies, happiness everyday, and "he's the one that completes me", marriage is long suffering, forgiveness eveyday, extending grace and allowing God to complete you! His intention is for us to have mercy and grace follow us all the days of our lives, but he also uses things that aren't so great for our good. You may be praying everyday "Lord change him/her", but he may have you in that situation.....to change you! Our marriages will go through changes, some good some bad, but it's a labor of love. Not something you give up on when it's not looking like what society tells you it should be. One may say "well thats great for you, but he cheated on me, I'm not standing for that", or "she continues to do the same things, I'm tired, I know I can find something better!" The word says that forgiveness should be given, 7 times 70 times. Society doesn't tell us this is the expectation in marriage. Do you see billboards expressing forgiveness and grace, or 1 week divorces! So as you look at your marriage look at it in a biblical sense, What God put together let no man put asunder. Your faith should not be in your spouse, but in God! Remember he created the world and he created you, I assure you, through him there is nothing you can't do....even forgiving your husband for leaving the toilet seat up.. again. Stay vigilant....he roams about!
