God’s Love is Faithful

Jesus and Coffee Bracelet

Hello friends!

I have been married for 24 years and I wanted to share a little something I have learned during these years. 

God is faithful even when we are not.  

Sometimes we hear these words and I am not sure I ever really believed it until I lived it out in my life.  As a married woman who thought I knew everything and knew nothing of God’s faithfulness until my marriage was crumbling around me and I was deep in depression and sadness. Hiding it all on the inside until I could not anymore. God will bring us to a point and at that point we must decide. Follow His way or follow the worlds way.  In most marriages today I believe following the worlds way is the most popular.  When the road gets tough we bail out.  Now, I know the case may be for some that your spouse makes the wrong choice and leaves the marriage without involving you and you have no control over the decisions of your spouse.  I say this because marriage is commitment between two people and there is a gamete of situations we all face in marrraige but in my situation I focused on fixing me and my relationship with God. My husband was already focusing himself on his relationship with God so together we could find that foundation to stand our marriage on.
 Jesus Christ is that firm foundation.  

I called upon God in prayer.  God showed me His love through prayer and as I read His Word.  I felt the power of God working in my marriage and working on me and my husband.  There is no other love that is as faithful as God’s steadfast love.  Believe that.  Any problems I had with my husband God brought to light.  It was a problem with my perspective on my husband not what my husband did or didn't do.  I learned to seek after God more and more than a fleeting feeling from my husband.  I soon learned my faithfulness to Jesus grew a deeper faithfulness in relationship with my husband. 

Through Jesus we can experience this faithful love and share it with our spouses and others around us ðŸ’—  I would love to hear what qualities of God you have been able to share in marriage over the years. 

Bless you friends! .
