365:215
This is my husband and I love him. He's mine and God brought us together for amazing things!
This night, the boys had gone to bed and we were admiring the dark blue sky painted with a beautiful promise from God. The rainbow was bold and bright and I stood in amazement! "God's promise," I kept saying out loud.
As I reflected on God's promise to never again cut off all flesh by the waters of the flood, I began to think of all the other promises that He has given to us in His Word. Promises like,
“I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5
and
"No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it." 1 Corinthians 10:13
and
"Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God." Romans 5:9
I could go on and on. The Bible is so rich and deep and full of God's promises to those who love Him.
Ok, back to my love. God has brought us together and has promised to continue working in us for His good pleasure and to complete the work that He has begun in us (Phil. 1:6). Marriage is not always a walk in the park, but I am thankful that God gave Joshua to me and me to Joshua to walk through this life together. I'm thankful for Joshua's heart to serve and love others. I'm thankful for his strong leadership and sense of conviction. I'm thankful for his tender-heartedness and his boldness for truth. I'm thankful for his love for family and raising strong men. I'm thankful that he is handy and that he is kind. I'm thankful that he is thoughtful. I'm thankful that he is a hard worker and that he provides well. I'm thankful for his promise to me to love me through thick and thin, sickness and health, submission and strong willededness (not a word, but it's obvious what I mean), happy times and stressful times. This guy really is the real deal. I'm blessed.
