"FATHER, KEEP THEM IN YOUR NAME, THE NAME WHICH YOU HAVE GIVEN ME, THAT THEY MAY BE AS ONE EVEN AS WE ARE."-John 17:11
Gods Word is so amazing! When reading the Bible and seeking Him you realize that everything makes sense and links together. After reading todays DARE I became just baffled at His timing. Today I married a couple for the first time. My whole message to this couple was when you marry you become one! There is to be no division in unity. God is to be first in this trinity of love. He is to be the glue that holds us together! This morning I read about Gods Trinity, The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit are 3-in-1. They are all connected in unity to be one. Without any one of these important Figures, the Trinity wouldn't exist!
In our trinity of marriage we all need to be binded together for eternity. Without one it won't work. God needs to be included in your marriage and in your individual life. He gaves us the example of a marriage in His love for us. Throughout the Bible He speaks of the 'Church" (us) as being His bride. (The Church is most honored when her Savior is worshipped and celebrated. ) Christ is our bridegroom (Jesus), who has given Himself up for us, and is most honored when He sees us (the church) "as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any blemish, but holy and blameless"(Ephesians 5:27) Both Christ and the Church love and honor each other. (Like we should with our spouse). That is the beauty of unity. We share all we are and all we have with that person.
HUSBANDS, what would happen in your marriage if you devoted yourself to loving, honoring, and serving your wife in all things? What would happen if you really took into consideration what 'oneness' means with your spouse, would you do everything in your power to guard your marriage from any form of division? What would happen if you chose to pray about keeping your unity with your spouse sacred? Could you and would you do this?
WIVES, what would happen if you chose to promote togetherness of heart with your husband? Us being the one moved by emotion, would you choose to pray that you be united as one in "heart" and in "love"? Would you choose as well to pray for protection and unity and pray that you allow nothing to tear you apart? What would happen if you chose to do this daily....could you or would you?
The unity of the Trinity is evidence in the power of oneness. Its unbreakable and its unending. Make your marriage and oneness unbreakable. Don't take God out of it....that is the begining of breaking and division. Choose to hold on to God tight...never letting go. Don't open up the trinity of your marriage. Where your armor, stand up and fight and defend it daily. Never under estimate the power of prayer. Be praying for your marriage, spouse and family daily! . Everyday serve your spouse, whose needs cannot be seperated from your own. Honor them, love them unconditionally, forgive them...let no crack give way and crumble your foundation.
THE DARE: CHOOSE UNITY. PRAY FOR ANY AREA OF DIVISION IN YOUR MARRIAGE...ASK GOD TO REVEAL ANYTHING YOUR HEART THAT THREATENS ONENESS WITH YOUR SPOUSE OR WITH GOD AND PRAY HE REVEALS THE SAME FOR THEM. IF APPROPRIATE, DISCUSS IT OPENLY, SEEKING GOD FOR UNITY ONCE AGAIN. REMEMBER TO SPEAK WITH LOVE, GENTLENESS AND KINDNESS.
I'm praying for unity in your marriage! I'm praying you choose to stand up, fight and protect your oneness! God bless you and your lives. Amen!
