“When he sees a change in you, You will see a change in Him”

Proverbs 31:10-12 “Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth
Is far above rubies. The heart of her husband safely trusts her;
So he will have no lack of gain. She does him good and not evil all the days
Of her life”


“When he sees a change in you, You will see a change in Him”



The three-strand cord is a picture of the power that takes place when two people
agree for something in line with God's will for them.
As two people become one in agreement with each other, there is a tremendous amount of power.

You can have such fun in your marriage when you begin to agree with each other.
Do you know that God did not put you together to be miserable?
He didn't put you together to fight, pick on each other or try and change each other.
The Bible says that a woman is to enjoy her husband. (See 1 Peter 3:2.)
Think about that. I rarely hear a woman say, "You know what?
I really enjoy my husband."
And God wants us to enjoy each other.
He wants us to have fun together. You need to laugh and have fun together.
I really recommend reading :
The Power Of A praying Wife by Stormie Omartian
After reading the book I asked God to help me change.
He said “When he sees a change in you, You will see a change in Him”
WOW was God So Right!!

So how do two people with very different personalities—who don't think alike,
who don't feel the same about a lot of different things,
who don't even like the same kind of food—become one?
We know that it doesn't just happen when you both say,
"I do."
Becoming one is a process that just takes time.
Remember!
“When he sees a change in you, You will see a change in Him”


The Bible says we are supposed to be in agreement.
My husband, Glenn, and I have personalities that are about as opposite as we could get.
Yet, God has brought us more and more together so that we are starting
to think more alike and want more of the same things every day.
We still have two different personalities, and now we can see that God brought
our differences together on purpose. It was not an accident.
God knew each of our strengths and weaknesses would complete
the other when we became one. The idea of saying, "Why aren't you like me?"
is no longer a question in our hearts.
We realize that we need each other to be exactly who God created us to be.
We no longer pick on each other's weaknesses.
Instead, we partake of our strengths and enjoy one another.


The big question is: How do people who are not of one mind learn to agree?
Agreement comes when the people involved stop being selfish.
A lot of adults still deal with selfishness. All that selfishness amounts to is,
"I want what I want when I want it, and I don't really care what you want because
I want what I want and I want it now."
Selfishness is an immature inward focus.
The key is to care about what the other person needs,
be willing to humble ourselves, and do what we can to meet those needs


May He Bless You and Keep You Today!
With Great Love
IN HIS SERVICE
