Today's Devotion:
""BEING a Marriage PARTNER"
HI!
They had been married 35 years.
One day they had a big argument.
Determined to get the last word, the man said,
When I die, I am gonna dig my way out and haunt
you forever!
About a year later he died.
After the funeral, the wife went out partying.
One of her friends found her sitting at the table,
drink in hand.
The friend asked,
Are you afraid he will do like he said, and dig out to
haunt you.
The wife answered, Let him dig! I buried him
upside down.....
And, you KNOW men will NOT ask directions!
_______SCRIPTURE____________
Eph. 5:22
Wives submity yourselves unto your own
husbands, as unto the Lord.
Eph. 5:22
Husband, love your wives, even as Christ
also loved the church, and gave Himself
for it.
KJV
_______THOUGHT______________
Marriage is giving up SELF for the partner!
In Eph. 5:22, above, the wife is to give herself for
her husband.
In Eph. 5:25, above, the husband is to give himself
for the wife.
When entering marriage, SELF goes out the window!
For then, one becomes a husband, or a wife.
We do not give up our personal individuality.
But we take our personal individuality and partner
our lives with someone else.
We become ONE!
Let's take that thought into our lives with Christ
at the forefront.
In Rev. 21:2, Christians are to give up self for
Christ.
And I, John, saw the Holy City, New Jerusalem,
coming down from God out of heaven, prepared
as a bride adorned for her Husband.
We ALL, when given to Christ, become his BRIDE!
We don’t give up our personal individuality.
But we take our personal individuality and
partner it with Christ.
We become ONE with Him, and His purposes!
Christ has purposes for the church – His bride – they are to:
1. Learn and grow in faith so we can become useful to Him,
2. Pray daily and be constantly in touch with Christ,
3. Attend church and be and encourager to others,
4. Give to the church and support ministry activities,
5. Share the Gospel wherever we go,
6. And, minister aid and comfort to others.
How is your marriage to Christ going?!
As goes your marriage to Christ, so goes your
marriage to your spouse!
Love ya!
