I would like to think of myself as one who loves his wife more than life itself.....As a matter of fact I would in all aspects of the theory, take a bullet for her. Now having said that, no offense, you might find it hard putting me in a situation to call for said bullet taking (rather me giving the bullets, not getting them). not paranoid just prepared. We will leave it at that.In the past I have been known for my stupidity and my stubbornness. taking for granted not only my gorgeous and humble wife but also my children and close personal friends. Crazy I know, but stranger things have happened.
I lay here in a motel room hundreds of miles away from my family. doing what I do best, watch t.v.. Yep, a true blue channel flipper by profession. When I stopped on C.B.N. NO not C.B.S. and John Hagee was on. Now I am not a big fan of t.v. Evangelism, but Hagee has his moments......Well this was one of those moments.
He spoke of a way a man should treat his wife. Ephesians 5:25 reads: "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;" K.J.V. or even this small passage from Genesis 2:24 which states: " Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. K.J.V. (Not using a meat cleaver) but this....

Pretty big shoes to fill if I may say so, but I also do not see myself loving her in the way God commanded. Not that I hate her or some such, I just ain't doing it right. I am A VERY SELFISH PERSON!! I love things done my way. See told you so.Which definitely does not coincide with the words given by Paul to those in Colosse. Colossians 3:19, which reads: " Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter with them." N.K.J.V.
I pray that someday soon I will truly understand and place into practice the word herein, but until then... I shall strive daily to be the man that my Father in Heaven expects of me. Jewelz please forgive a stubborn and selfish fool. I do so love you.
what a wonderful man I have been given. I look forward to the chance to be able to also love you the way Heavenly Father has commanded us to. You are the love of my life and feel truly blessed to be your bride and watch and learn in our growth.. With all my love, Jewelz
ReplyDeleteYou are simply awesome. The fact that you recognize your imperfections puts far above many who fail to see their flaws, or rather, refuse to see them. Your love may not be perfect, but no man's can be, save Christ's. Despite this imperfection, I think it's plain to everyone that you love your wife and children. The fact that you want to realize a greater love is definitely an enviable goal. That is a goal I see you joyfully pursuing for the rest of your life.
