Today my heart is stirred with these thoughts
I want to share with you.
It is no secret what God can do!
We see marriages falling apart and being
crushed under the stress of modern day living practices.
Many today have the think only of me factor
their hearts and minds are continually set on how can I benefit me, how can I
pleasure me instead of the fact that two are supposed to be one and working
together to please and satisfy each other.
Today’s laws, todays judges and todays courts
have made it easier for couples to divorce over frivolous things instead of
helping them to stay together.
Well that is the way it always goes when man’s
way is involved it seems that all humans can do is tear apart, break down and
destroy. Most humans don’t know how to build anything that holds together and
lasts for very long. Our civilization is well skilled in destruction but not
many know how to build up relationships that will stand the test of time.
Mary and I married some 54 years ago and our
relationship with each other grows stronger every day. Many family members and
friends told us we were too young and too wild for marriage and we would be
separated in just few months some even dated our divorce to happen in six
months.
Mary was sixteen and I was nearly eighteen
when we married the first two years we sailed in stormy waters and it looked
like our marriage was headed for shipwreck. But then we both met Jesus and we
realized that the one thing that would hold our marriage together was the will
of God in our lives... Up to that point God’s will was missing in our lives we
both had lived according to our own will and were separating ourselves with our
own selfish desires our marriage was falling apart.
In that moment we came to our senses and surrendered
our will to God’s will and began to build our marriage on the solid rock Jesus
Christ we began to read and live by every word of God written in the holy Bible.
For the past 54 years our lives have been
blessed of God together because our will became His will and we were sealed
with the Holy Spirit of Gods promises. Sure we have had troubles we have faced
trials of our faith we have had some pretty stormy days but our Lord and savior
Jesus Christ has brought us through them all our ship still sails and will get
us safely to our final destination Heaven where God is.
The Lord Jesus Christ is mine and Mary’s
solid rock foundation He has kept our marriage steadfast and UN moveable our
foundation is sure it cannot be moved.
Let me say again, it is no secret what God
can do. What He has done for others He will do for you!
Matthew 7:24-25
King
James Version (KJV)
24 Therefore whosoever heareth
these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which
built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and
the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not:
for it was founded upon a rock.
Ephesians 1:13
King James Version (KJV)
13 In whom ye also
trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation:
in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of
promise,
