Thu: Truth About Your Spouse
To all the married people.
Have you ever taken the time to see your mate as God sees them?
If not, let me encourage you to do so today?
Open your bible to Ephesians 1 and read verses 3-14.
As you do, insert your mates name into each verse.
I’ll show you what I mean by inserting my wife’s name in verses 7 and 8.
In him, Jeanna has redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of her trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished on her in all wisdom and insight.
Here is the truth about your spouse.
God blessed him or her in Christ with every spiritual blessing.
Which means your mate is awesome in God’s sight.
Walk in this truth and your marriage will never be the same.

Wed: By This They Will Know
A word to husbands.
Did you know your role as a husband is the most important role you will fill in your life.
In it, God calls you to love one person in a way that reflects and models Christ’s love for the church.
Impossible to do through human effort.
So husbands, let me encourage you to walk in dependence upon Jesus, to abide in him.
He will teach you all about his great love for the church and will move in your heart to express that love to your wife.
A love that will treat her as one without spot or blemish, that will wrap her with security and assurance, and that will convince her heart that she is cherished above all others.
So husbands, let’s take the lead and love our wives well and show the world Christ’s love for his church.
