Well Valentines Day wasn't very exciting. It was however consistant. That is the best way to discribe my husband, consistant. He is no real romantic. Nor is he Mr. Excitment. He is however loyal, honest, trustworthy, and helpful. He would do anything I ask him to do. And he NEVER complains. Thank you Lord for a Godly husband. I am so grateful to have him in my life. He is a great husband and a wonderful father.
Today I want to love him with an unconditional love. So often I try to change everyone in my life. It goes back to that need to control that I have. I want him to do things my way. I do after all have his best interests in mind. At least that is how I justify my actions! I need to be more willing to accept him the way he is. To love him for his attributes and forgive him for his faults. Lord knows I have enough faults of my own that I need to fix without trying to fix his as well. This is something that I could work on with everyone in my life, not just my husband. I want to see people through God's eyes. For what they were created to be rather than what they are right now. Often just knowing someone believes in us propels us forward. It give us the encouragement we need to press onward and be more than what we are. I want to be that encouragement for others. I want to love them as Christ loves them.
Today's Scripture
Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.
Romans 15:7
Today's Prayer
Lord help me today to love others as you love them. To be an encouragement to those around me. And help me to walk in forgiveness and love.
