Word of the Day

And He answered and said to them, "Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning 'made them male and female', and said, 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'? So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man seperate." Matthew 19:4-6

God knew he needed more. Adam was king over the ocean, the sky, the trees, the animals--nothing existed that he didn't have, except her. Eve, conceived through Adam's own life, became the necessary angle of a spiritual triangle that helped mankind best to see God. With God above and the two below ever seeking His face, inevitably they grew closer together as they neared God's presence, a perfect picture of God's love relationship with His family.
But since the fall, things haven't been the same. Where love and trust once grew, now seeds of doubt, despair--even divorce--have sprouted like kudzu, covering the accurate picture of hope God intends for His people.
The truth is, Christians are bound to perfection, still. We just don't need to look for it in our mates. Instead, we find our strength and a steady love from above, from Our Heavenly father, who does not change like shifting shadows. As we receive from Him His endless grace and abounding mercy, we find the freedom to love the spouse God has given us and to allow ourselves the vulnerability required to trust God and our mate. God says that perfect love casts out fear. When we discover God's perfect love for us, our fear of failure, rejection, and of being forgotten simply fades away, and the beauty of Christ's light warms our hearts toward all those around us.
