Dear
LORD, I am sorry I have not written for the past two weeks. I have become
utterly consumed with treating my husband as though I am serving You
personally. As You know, there have been times when I’ve had to stop myself
from reacting to utter madness. But a
simple prayer to You helped me to remain tenderhearted, quick to forgive and
compassionate towards the man You’ve chosen for me.
I must
say, it feels good to refuse to give into temptation or give the devil ground.
And the sweet unexpected touch of Your love and kindness that follows each
trying moment continues to fill my heart with a desire to try even harder the following
day.
What I
realize now, is that You are far more interested in my character than my
comfort. Now, as I sit here quietly alone reading Your Word, savoring this
tender moment, I receive the confirmation I so desperately desired upon my
return home. And, I find that I through
it all, LeeRoy’s baptism, my hasty move out of our home, and in the life of an
unequally yoked marriage, only a kind and gentle spirit can demonstrate Your
loving grace.
Today, I
will meditate upon Your Word which instructs, “Wives, likewise, be submissive
to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a
word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, when they observe your chaste
conduct accompanied by fear.” (1 Peter 3:1-2 NKJV). I love You LORD Jesus.
Amen.
