Jesus prepared a
meal for the
multitudes to
remind us that we
feed people not
because we believe
they deserve it, but
because they're
hungry.

Suffering
The devil doesn't even
want you to suffer.
He wants you
comfortable.
Because in
suffering,
we often find
Christ.
A partner
She didn't need more help.
She needed a partner.
"I'm tired of having to tell you
what needs to be done."
"Like what?"
"The bills. The groceries. The kids.
The house. Everything."
"But if you tell me, I'll do it."
She looked at him.
"That's exactly what I'm tired of."
He paused. "What do you mean?"
"I don't want to manage you.
I want a partner who notices things
without waiting for instruction."
He slowly put his phone down.
"So you want me to start paying attention?"
"I don't want to feel like your mother,
reminding you what needs to be done."
She paused,"I just want to feel like your wife...
like we're carrying this life together."
Marriage isn't about helping when you're asked.
It's about noticing when your partner is tired
and stepping in without being asked.
Lessons
There are
lessons God
is trying
to teach
you in this
storm that
you could
not learn
while on
the shore.

Ordained
If a man is ordained for you,
God will remove the scales
from his eyes and soften his
heart toward you.
God is not the author of
emotional torment.
Every love story God wrote in
His word required sacrifice
and sanctification - not
compromise and sin.
What God ordains will never
require seduction and sin to
sustain it.
