This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did. – John 2:5-6
Do you want to know who walks with Jesus each day? Look for folks whose lives look like his! Do you want to walk with Jesus? Look at his life in the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John). See how he treated people; then do the same!
Notice how he defeated Satan and overcame temptation. Trust that you can do the same! As you do these things, you will find that Jesus is not only walking with you, he is also working through you!
Ephesians 3:20-21
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Thoughts on Today's Verse....
What is your biggest dream? God longs to do more than that through you! The real question is whether or not you will believe it, receive it, share it and then give him the glory for it!
Marriage
A marriage is an exchange of a cross or many crosses throughout one’s married life. The cross is the spouse and the crosses are either the spouse’s family members or neighbors, relatives, friends and acquaintances that keep entering into your life on and off.
Adjustments and compromises in a marriage often lead to arguments, expectations, irritations and hidden desires of separation.
When married person prays to God for grace to accept one’s life partner as he or she is and also to accept the spouse’s family as they are, then the marriage, over a period of time, becomes a bed of roses notwithstanding the thorns that try to stifle the growth in one’s married life.
When a wedding ring is exchanged at the altar in the presence of God and many witnesses, it is a symbolic gesture of an invisible cross being exchanged with a promise to carry it always – in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health till death alone separates. It is, thus, true that marriages are made in heaven, but they are solemnized, celebrated and lived here on earth only through God’s grace.
