Marriage

We had a really powerful sermon on Sunday about Divorce. It's never an easy subject and everyone has been effected by it on some level. Jeff brought up a really key point that I have been thinking about. He said that God designed marriage to reflect His love to us. He created us for the longing to be married. No one gets married thinking they will get divorced. He said that if marriage reflects who God is, then kids view of God is by their parents marriage. Let that sink in for a minute. It took me a few. What a revelation to think about. I think it also explains a lot about people who are close to me. And I think it gives children of divorce more obstacles to overcome to get to God. Now I don't think that because people get divorced it's the parents fault that the kids never find God, because good, christian, people do get divorced. And I don't want to judge people of divorce. I just think people need to recognize that divorce is in the world because of sin and through it all God is love. I am so thankful that I am aware of this now, in my own marriage. Mike is such a wonderful husband. He is so thoughtful and generous. He puts up with my mood swings and need to control. I really feel closer to God by my husbands love towards me. It's so pure and unconditional that I take it for granted often. I don't deserve God's love or Mike's but I am so blessed to have both. I pray that my marriage can show my future children and others the power of grace and love. I'm sure I didn't do Jeff's sermon justice, so if you want to hear the whole thing, go to http://www.visiodei.org/ , then go to feeds at the bottom of the page. Love to all!!
