Godly Marriage..Worldly Marriage. Totally Different

While planning a wedding I realize something.... What am I doing to plan for my marriage? Yes I am praying. Yes I am reading God's Word. But am I really planning for it? I was convicted all day with that... How do I view Marriage? How does God view marriage? I want to see how the world views marriage and then do the total OPPOSITE of that. The world views marriage as such a trial basis.. "IF it does not work, that is ok.." The world has such a superficial idea of love and romance. Well today I questioned myself.. What is marriage to you Ginny... I do not know all the answers but I do know this.. I have many character flaws I have to work on. Relationships bring out your character flaws. How do you respond to it when it comes out..? Do you run? Do you follow your emotion instead of your mind? Relationships... What does God intend for them?

Once again I do not have all the answers. I do know that the Lord takes marriage VERY seriously. I do know that your ultimate relationship is with the Lord. I do know that the person you choose to marry is not always going to make you "happy", but it is not about happiness it is finding the mature love, the mature peace that only the LORD can fulfill. It is about helping each other to the Throne of Grace. It is about taking a daily walk, a daily renewal of your mind. The person you marry walks with you. Prays with you. Helps meet your needs but never becomes your God. There is only one God.

I love a man of God. But he is not my God. I love David Misner and I can not wait to marry him. I do not expect it to be perfect but I know that the Lord will be the Lord of our life. I know that one of us will out live the other and one of us will see Christ face to face sooner. So what does that mean? That means that no matter what human relationship you might have.. the one you need to be focused on first is your relationship with is CHRIST JESUS. He will ultimately fill you with love, joy, peace, all the character attributes that will bless a marriage.. not hinder one. So if you feel down or if you see your character flaws, use that as God working on molding you to be more Christ like. Always pray for Christian marriages.

I pray for all the Christian marriages around the world. I pray that you will keep them molded together and pray that YOUR Word will be the blueprint of their marriage.-IN Christ name.AMEN :) :)
