Let me borrow the words of Sugarland...
stuck like glue. you and me, baby, we're stuck like glue.
you do that thing that makes me laugh and just like that.
there you go making my heart beat again.
and I know I'm never letting this go.
I'm stuck on you.
it's true.
i am 'stuck like glue' to this man. and there is no one else i'd rather be 'stuck' to. : )
through thick and thin. good days and bad days. ups and downs. sickness and health.
'i do' brought with it a permanent adhesive. we stepped onto sacred ground. the God of the universe - the same One who made both of us, 'stuck' us together forever. never to be broken apart.
this is a crazy, serious commitment. not a lovely-dovey fairytale jump of 'feeling' in love. rather, a truly tenacious, devoted commitment to follow the Lord Jesus Christ in this relationship called marriage which He designed to be a reflection of our relationship with Him.
i've got to be honest, i'm married to a good man. a real good man.
disciple of Jesus Christ first and foremost :
servant : encourager : joyful : commited : unconditionally loving :
glass half full : tender : strong : quick to say sorry : hardworker : storyteller :
handsome : student of God's Word : faithful : funny : contagious smile :
developer of gifts in others : incredibly gifted at engaging others : generous : best friend
this list could go on and on. he makes me want to be better.
having spent our sixth Valentine's Day together and approaching our fifth wedding anniversary, i realize 'we've only just begun' the journey of marriage. but i do find the list of 'good things' about my husband continuing to grow.
sure, we have hard seasons, but it takes the hard things to deepen our relationship and grow our love.
"count it joy when you fall into various trials." (james 1:2)
marriage is hard work and certainly under attack, so let's commit to not only praying for our own marriage, but also the marriages of others.
and for those who are not married, yet it is a desire of your heart, pray for your future husband.
pray for your future marriage.
pray for God to be your first Love.
pray for God to be everything to you, because no matter what your relationship status is God alone will satisfy you.
enjoy your relationship with God and all He is doing in your life.
then wait with great expectation.
don't compromise. don't settle.
wait upon the Lord. and He will do GREAT things.
that is the testimony of what God has done in my life.
i'm so thankful for all God has done and for the man i'm 'stuck like glue' to.
i think you have read my mind. God is putting a huge call on my heart for this topic right now. i am not sure what He is going to do with it, but marriages are under attack. i am feeling very passionate about working on marriages while they are good....then when tough things come our way {and they will} we will be ready as a couple...working together.
ReplyDeletei will put you on my "married" prayer list and pray that God continues to draw you closer to one another through Him:) marriage just gets better with each day if you keep him the center.
