It all began .........
It all began with a "Need", followed by "Prayer", followed by a "Choice - Decision" and it end with "Consequence". All decision will comes with a consequence.THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS PRAYING FOR THE RIGHT PERSON AND LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON THAT OUR LORD JESUS HAS GIVEN TO YOU.
Deu 8:2-10
"And you shall remember that the LORD your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD. Your garments did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years. You should know in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so the LORD your God chastens you. "Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, to walk in His ways and to fear Him. For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills; a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey; a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper. When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land which He has given you."
It take yearssss for me and my wife to be "today" and we thank God for the goodness that He has given us. Yes, we go thru UP and DOWN, just as how He allowed the children of Israelite to go thru hunger, HE also allowed us to go thru some difficult time, be it a short time or a period of time, and we have already walked 12 years of marriage and we are still walking and together with HIM. HE will continue to teach, guide us till the day we learn to humble ourselves. If my wife and i do not learn the lesson of humility before one another, how can we say we can humble before the Lord? and not just humility, but also obeying His commandment and give HIM all our heart.
And YES, i truly believe that we have to labour in love, but how? but there is one thing i know is that if you do not abide in HIM, it is very tiring to "labour" for love, it will not last, sometime you will get very frustrated especially you do not see the result. Sorry, i do not know how to put it in word. You need the conviction from the Lord. Only then, will you find the JOY of laboring even you may not see the result, remember, it is more blessed to give than to receive.
Abide in HIM is to surrender yourself fully on HIM, yeah it might sound doctrinal, but this is the reality. YOU have to let the Lord to mould both of you till both of you see all things as "ONE". Indeed they are many things my wife and i have not see in common, but thru communication and abiding in the Lord, we learn to see as "ONE".
