A topic very close to my heart.. A longing that I have been praying for..
"Family was designed to be a picture of God's love and our relationship with Him."
This pretty much summarizes the importance of a family. It all boils down to our relationship with God. Everything else will follow..
Families are not to be taken for granted. There should always be values in place that will serve as a guide to ensure that it can withstand trials and difficulties.
By loving God
By loving one another
By obeying God's word
By modeling godly character
By being controlled by the Holy Spirit
By serving God together
By praying together
Marriage is such a beautiful covenant.. Both husband and wife have unique roles and cannot be interchanged.
A husband should lead, provide, protect and love his wife unconditionally..
A wife should support, submit, appreciate/encourage, and respect her husband..
Love and Respect.. Raise our appreciation and lower our expectation.. Focus on the positives/blessings and not the negatives.. Real internal change is God's work and not ours.. Surrender and submit all our concerns to God..
"Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart." (Proverbs 3:3)
..be a woman of worth
In the meantime.. I will continue to nurture the relationships that God has entrusted me with. By faith and God's grace, I accept the challenge ahead of me.
Overwhelmed by God's love :)
