Day 5 of my 14 day count down to Valentine's Day


Day 5
I hope that all of you know we serve a loving and forgiving God. He has forgiven you past, present & future once and for all! Yes I said future, every sin you have or will ever commit has been forgiven and the price been paid through the Blood of Jesus. This is not your license to sin but it is your foundation to be able to live in peace & victory forever more. God will never remind you of where you have fallen short. But why is it that we do this with the love of our life? I ask this because I am guilty, guilty, and guilty of this very thing. Now I have come along way from who I was when we first met but let me tell you my wife has had to have great patience with me over the years. Did I say great patience!!!!!! If you have not noticed yet, I married way above me and I am so glad I did =) I thank God everyday for a wife who is loving, forgiving & patient! You might think that I make her sound perfect, well she is in my eyes. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I would say perfection is also. Life is Good sums it up best!
TeAmo Anger!!!! <3


Thought:
Many times in life we carry the luggage of yesterday and sometimes we have others helping us to also do the same. But every day is a new day with a fresh start. I would challenge each of you who read this to set down and think of any areas of unforgiveness you might be carrying for yourself and the one you love. If God has forgiven us then we have no excuse not to do the same. Every time I do a wedding for a couple and I get to the “better or worse till death due us part” I can’t help but wonder if they are serious. I myself took those words for what they say and nothing less. I really did not understand this until I gave my life to Christ and realized what He did for me. Maybe its time each one should check and see if this sounds like you and if it does, then clean the closet out now and forever more.

Final note; When this count down first got laid on my heart I was not sure how to start or what to say. But it did not take me long to realize that this was part of my Valentine’s gift to my wife, my best friend, my partner in life & ministry but also maybe a light in a dark place for someone else. Debbie and I are like any other couple with the exception that we have yielded everything to Christ and made Him the center and that is why I can honestly say everything that I say here.
