Reflection on God's Lesson

What's the Lesson

While I was busy emoting about where I was and what I experiencing the lord had impressed on my heart that I would need eventually forgive my wife. To be honest, I didnt want to hear. What I wanted to hear is that it was wrong to be neglected by a woman who I pledged my life to in the sight of God.

But its kind of funny how God is. I am holding her to the commitment and he is holding me to the commitment not only the one I made to Him but to her as well. I had always said to her when I cannot understand her words or actions ,in this case, I would view her heart.

God did not let me fall this time he made me pay up on that vow.

Gods Voice

Your need to be appeased as her partner and husband has to become subject to the precedent for you to Jesus to your wife. You cannot be so in need of support and love that you forget who you are to your wife and your family. Your are Christ to them and because Christ is my last name you have got to represent me, and rep me well.

Well!

After I received like I immediately refrain to the reality that I mentioned earlier. Very simple response and very simple standard but it requires the biting of a bullet if you will. But with that I am beginning to realize something about myself. I am very emotionally charged and I often ebb and flow from moment into the emotions of the moment to then come out to a logical and rational response.

Part of me doesn't want to be like that to some how bypass it but I know better.

I just intend on learning how to be the husband God wants me to be. 

Living on the Other Side.

Isn't such a wonder how the temptation to live on a low level is always present and to reach the higher road requires us to press harder into God. Is the nature of sin in us that makes us this way. We have always got to have a mind to press into God and to do life his way. Narrow is the gate the bible says....the entrance is rough but the path is easier.

We need not look too much further than God to see why this needs to be different. I am currently reading a book named He Chose the Nails " What our God did to win your heart by Max Lucado.

He ends a chapter the way I am going to end this blog.

We don't get to choose our race, sex, size of our nose or our family but we do have the opportunity to choose what happens with our eternity. 

Would we rather  have it the other way, Would we like to have full control over how and where we are born only to have choice of where we will spend eternity stripped from us.

I'd like to add to the thought he laid out. While can clearly say we rather be able to choose our eternity over our now. That choice lays upon us a great responsibility to live everyday with our eternity in mind. Living to please the savior, living to live again.

So I have made the choice not live on this side. I am going to live where my life is. My life is hid with Christ in God.
