“I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough..”
― Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook

Ever feel like your part of something special? I pray for each of you who are married, that answer would be yes. Like this song above says, “Everybody wants to be a part of a love story that never has an end.” And when God places that special someone in our life, He begins to write our story. Now how that story goes is up to us. One of my favorite Bible verses is Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” When we give of marriage to God, and ask Him to bless our relationship, we are allowing Him to take control; and when God is at the steering wheel it’s kinda hard to get off course.
But, unlike a car, that only requires one driver; it takes two committed hearts to make a marriage work. I’ve known some wonderful Christian spouses, who wanted nothing more than to make their relationship special, and the other just decided to check out of the relationship. James 1:13-14 warns us of this, “And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, ‘God is tempting me.’ God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else. Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away.” This is why we must protect our marriages at all cost; especially here on social media. If you notice, I make it a rule to never engage another female in conversation unless we are talking about a prayer need, or something else related to ministry. I do this out of respect for my wife. She has full access to my Facebook account and is welcome to read anything she likes. So, if you don’t want her to see it, don’t send it. Lol
There is nothing more precious than being a part of a beautiful love story that God is writing. I have invited others into ours in hopes it would encourage other couples to put God first, and see how special marriage can be. Someone made a comment yesterday that we are blessed, and that not all couples have what we have. While that may be true, it doesn’t have to be. The same blessings we receive from our love for one another are available to EVERY Christian marriage. But, there are no short cuts; we have to be willing to submit to God in every aspect of our relationship, and when we allow God to write our story, it will certainly be one worth reading.
From my heart to yours!
