My husband is God’s greatest gift to me after the gift of His Son’s death for my sin. When we were dating the Lord spoke to my heart and encouraged me that Jeremy is a gift from Him to me, but that I would only be able to open this gift through Bible study and Prayer…over the past 9 yrs the Lord has repeatedly reminded me of this promise. And, I’m finding that He really meant it. When I am not spending time with the Lord consistently my tendency is to whine and complain in my heart, but as I draw near to God He gives me clear vision concerning marriage and his purposes for my relationship with Jeremy. It is through Bible study and Prayer that my whining and complaining is turned to joy and amazement at God’s design. God’s command to love your neighbor as yourself truly starts in my marriage relationship and my sinful heart is revealed, for it is in this relationship that my selfishness is exposed the most. God is so kind to expose my sin and I’m so thankful for the teaching of our pastors that reminds us to run to the cross and look to Christ remembering that He took the wrath that we so justly deserved. What a Savior…what patience He has toward me!!
Heaven….no more sin and no more shame!
