I hope you both are enjoying a wonderful 4th of July! It's such a beautiful day!
I enjoyed reading this chapter, and Mary is so good at bringing the bible to life and getting her point across using scripture.
I too had a hard time personally relating to this
chapter, but I also know I am not perfect in this area. The chapter
seemed directed towards the dating girl, but nevertheless, I also see
how it applies to the married woman and to all types of relationships.
Just like all the previous chapters it did cause me to stop and think
and be mindful of what my approach to romance in particular what my
approach I take regards to my relationship with my husband.
Do I always try to get my way?
After thinking on these
things I know there have been times when I have been particularly
selfish and have probably been manipulative to Brian .........but
honestly nothing really sticks out in my mind at this time.......I just
asked Brian if he honestly considers me to be manipulative, and he said
no....
I will say I will now be on guard against being
manipulative, and to be more mindful of how God wants me to approach my
relationship with my husband, and all relationships as I do not want to
as Mary says; "rely on my own craftiness instead of relying on the Lord"
as I do not want to "mock and make fun of Gods ways".
I love the good news that Mary tells in this
chapter, letting us know that "the the very one who is the author of all
true love and romance is standing before us..we just need to allow Him
in to write our love stories....He wants us to taste and see that He is
good", thanks be to God!
Lord help us to truly be the wise wives and women you want us to be, help us to be mindful of your ways!
Have a blessed week!
