I can only find the three kinds of businesses in the universe: mind yours and God's. For me the word of God means reality , reality is God , because it rules. Anything that's out of my control ,your control and everyone else's ...I call that God's business. We have long forgotten our purpose on earth . We wake up everyday and all we think about is how to feed ,cloth , shelter, and meet our needs while neglecting the very reason why we are still alive in this world. We are alive today to fulfill God's and not our's . this is why Jesus admonishes us in Matthew 6:33 To seek first the kingdom of heaven.. All the stresses of this life; Going to school, work Etc...is all about our basic needs. I am not by any means saying we should stop schooling or working or engaging in other daily activities. I am saying we need to dedicate equal time and possessions if not more to the very purpose if our existence on this earth. Our purpose on earth is to make God's business flourish. God's business on earth is to ensure all get eternal life and so he laid the foundation of this business by ending his son to die to redeem us. ( John 3:16 ) after allowing his son to die for us. Many are yet to hear about this great act of God. believe and get baptized so as to be a member of his kingdom. This is where God's business becomes your business. It is my business too. In ( Matthew 28:19 -20 ) christ asks us to go into the world and teach all nations and baptizing them to.

God is our Good Shepherd and He is the One Who leads us beside the still waters and restores our soul and then He leads us in the right path; the path of righteousness which is found in Christ alone. If we acknowledge God in all of our ways He will make sure to straighten the crooked paths of life and there are plenty of paths out there that are crooked. Only God can make straight the crooked as Isaiah wrote “I will go before you and level the exalted places.I will break in pieces the Doors of bronze and cut through the bars of iron. My paths are hazardous when I decide to choose my own ways but “All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness” but this is only for “those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.” Is that you? If not, then you’re going to need more than a good flashlight to illuminate the dark, twisting, dangerous paths of life and I won’t be following you, that’s for sure! The path that is level is the way of the righteous and the right path that leads to eternal life in Jesus Christ. The Word of God is like having lamps on our boots; they light the path at every step we take keeping us safe from harm. That’s what the psalmist referred to in writing “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. The path that is enlightened by the dawn is one that will continually shine brighter and brighter as the day progresses. So too is the path of righteousness. The hazards like rocks, holes, and even snakes can be avoided by the light of His righteousness for we who have trusted in Christ walk no more in darkness.His paths like in Psalm 16:11 where it says “You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore” and in Psalm 25:4 where it is written “Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths.” I pray that you too will follow the path that God has laid out before us but we can only see the path if we have entered that light ourselves and the light of the world is Jesus Christ for there is none brighter than the Son of God as Jesus said “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life”

               Psalm 51:2-4 

Throughly wash me ,inside and out ,of all of my crooked deeds . Cleanse me from my sins. For I am fully aware of all i have done wrong, and my guilt is there, staring me in the face.it was against you ,only you that I sinned ,for i have done what you say is wrong, right before your eyes .so when you speak, you are in the right. When you  judge,your judgements are pure and true.

When we’re recovering from a spiritual fumble, we must realize everyone does stupid stuff. No one is exempt. An occasional misstep doesn’t brand us as stupid—it makes us real. God loves us regardless of our mishaps. After a fumble, do as any good football player would. Fight to recover what you lost, get back into the game, and let the Creator turn your loss into a gain. With Him, in spite of our fumbles we can rise to great heights. Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. We all at certain times in our lives find ourselves broken.True strength is found in picking up the pieces. If one dream should fall and break into a thousand pieces, never be afraid to pick one of those pieces up and begin again. When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn. A bend in the road is not the end of the road...unless you fail to make the turn. We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey. Adversity is like a strong wind. It tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that we see ourselves as we really are. He who has a why to live can bear almost any how. The difficulties of life are intended to make us better, not bitter. Fortune knocks but once, but misfortune has much more patience. Confront the dark parts of yourself, and work to banish them with illumination and forgiveness. Your willingness to wrestle with your demons will cause your angels to sing. Use the pain as fuel, as a reminder of your strength. 

                 Colossians 3:14

Beyond all these things put on love which is the perfect bond of unity.

Making your relationship  a priority  even when you have a lot on your plate is vital for a long and happy marriage. However you met your spouse, your wedding day is (or will be) one of the best days of your life.Celebrating your love and making a lifelong commitment to each other in front of your family and friends is hard to beat! But the wedding day is just the very beginning of your marriage, which may face challenges, hardships, amazing highs, and crushing lows.Whatever happens in your married life, the most important thing is facing the future together. but let there be space between your togetherness and let the winds of heaven dance between you.We were given: Two hands to hold.Two legs to walk. Two eyes to see. Two ears to listen .But why one heart? Because the other was given to someone else for us to find.Two souls with but a single thought , Two heart that beat as one. Togetherness is a hugely important  aspect of life. It unites us gives us security, much-needed support and a sense of belonging, and encourages us to love one another. Coming together is a beginning ; keeping together is a process ,working together is success. It takes two flints to make a fire. And it takes togetherness to make a marriage flourish.The best thing to hold onto in life is each other .We must learn how to give out love and let it come in. One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life. That word is love. When the Bible speaks of God's love for us and the kind of love we are to have for him and for other people, the word is always agape signifying a commitment to act.When you realize that you are deeply loved by God, it enables you to love deeply. 

             Isaiah 26: 3- 4 

Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust ,and will not be afraid; for the lord God is my strength and my song ,he has become my salvation 

Quit questioning God and start trusting Him!” Even when it may seem like God is not doing anything , He's working behind the scenes. The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted. Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat. We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty. What is a policeman made of? He, of all men, is once the most needed and the most unwanted. He's a strangely nameless creature who is 'Sir' to his face and 'Fuzz' to his back. Growing up  I kinda felt like the first slice of bread in the bag. Everyone touched me, but no one wanted me. Unless you're prepared to deal with the aftermath, never invite yourself to a situation where your presence is not requested or welcomed. Don't pull out a chair at someone else's table, then turn around and be hurt when you feel unwelcomed. You are wanted by God and that should resonate in your heart There is nothing you could ever do that would change the way God feels about you.The connection you share with God matters more than any other relationship you have. God allows rejection to come into our lives so that we may have the painful privilege of sharing in the fellowship of Christ's sufferings." Let us practice the fine art of making every work a priestly ministration. Let us believe that God is in all our simple deeds and learn to find Him there.Value what you have and who you are. God didn't make you purely to receive and experience problems. God knows your heart and is not concerned with your words as He is with the attitude of your heart. I end this post with theses last words. If we could understand how near God is to us, and how easy it is to "practice His Presence" how different our lives would be! It seems that we are too busy doing things FOR Him, to do things WITH Him.

      2 Corinthians 7:10 “

For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death."

One of the biggest ways that satan tries to get at us all is with regret. It's so easy to go back and relive memories we aren't  proud of. Satan will do anything  possible to get at us mentally .Regret can be a devastating monster if we don't  keep it in check. Satan tries to use regret to keep us from stepping forward in freedom and forgiveness through Jesus. Satan wants nothing more than to keep stabbing at you with all of the things you have done wrong, but with Christ you are a brand new creation! Be aware that  Regret can be a pain. Look at what David, Peter and Job experienced.They were in misery and anguish. However, Jesus’ death for us all on the cross covers all of the sins that lead us to regret. 1 John 1:9 from above is the way for us to move past our sins, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." So, if you have regrets, give them to God in prayer. Ask Him to walk with you as you move through these regrets .So many people carry with them the pain of their past...things they wish they had done differently...things they regret saying...pain they caused others, or things that were inflicted on them. God did not intend for us to carry around such heavy burdens and baggage. It's the enemy of our souls that ties us down with such things in an effort keep us from living our lives in the freedom Christ offers and it hinders us from being all Christ calls us to be.

               Proverbs 18:22

  He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord Husbands never sacrifice three things your family, your heart, or your dignity husbands love your wives just as Christ loved the church and gave his life for it. this means that you should be willing to risk your life to help or save your wife men of God lead her like Abraham ,fight for her like Jacob , care for her like Boaz, love her like Christ. A Godly husband is a blessing to his house , a hero to admired a man to be fiercely and encouraged .. the best way to love is to find God. The more you fall in love with God the more you fall in love with her they say that a husband can only win his wife's heart once ..Christ has captured his.   true love is not found . it's built. The noblest tasks a man can do are servering God and severing his wife. Remember always put GOD first in your relationship, marriage & home. because where there is Christ your foundation will always remain solid. Husbands leadership isn't a man made curse , it's a God ordained blessing. Lead and your family will follow.  Are you leading your family ? Are you protecting them and praying over them ?

Proverbs 12:18 Verse Concepts There is one who speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword, But the tongue of the wise brings healing. Every marriage will have conflict at  some point. Problems are not stop signs they are guidelines. Martial challenges are inevitable in marriage. It's how We resolve them that matters. Be determined to pray more words over your marriage then you speak about your marriage. Conflict is an opportunity to learn to love our partner better over time. The say that 10 % of conflict is due to difference in opinion and 90 % is due to delivery & tone of voice. You must remember that marriage is not about me anymore. it's about From now on it's always about us. One thing I've learn is that Christ is the center of our home , a guest at every meal , a silent listener to every conversation.   How do you resolve conflict? 

         Matthew 6: 14 , 15 

For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your father forgive your trespasses. When you come face-to-face with how much God has done for you , how can you fail not to forgive. Therefore what God has joined together let no one separate.  A forever marriage requires a forgiving couple. In order for any marriage to be successful , thriving and God honoring , forgiveness needs to be at the core of it. To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discovered that the prisoner was you. If we love we must learn how to forgive. forgive others as quickly as we expect God to forgive us. Never go to bed angry solve your problem before shutting your eyes. Ephesians 4:26, 27 says be angry and do not sin ; do not let the sun go down on your anger. And give no opportunity to the devil. Never make the one you love feel alone especially when you're there. Your marriage will not be defined by the size of your struggles, but by the size of your commitment To overcome the struggles together.  Is there a place inside your heart for forgiveness? 

  When a man can listen to a woman's feelings without getting angry and frustrated , he gives her a wonderful gift. He makes it safe for her to express herself. The more she's able to express herself , the more she feels heard and understood and the more she is able to give a man the loving  trust , acceptance, appreciation , admiration , approval and encouragement that he needs. To make a woman happy give her these 3 things. attention , affection , and appreciation. A woman needs to be told she's beautiful , valued , she's loved. If you love her make her feel special. No matter how strong a woman is she has this one special man in her life from whom she gets her strength from when she's weak. When she is with the man she loves she becomes like a small child that needs to be pampered. She craves his for his time and attention. She craves for his undying love and affection. She just wants to feel special and loved.  Because deep inside the heart of every woman is an emotional void waiting to be filled with love. a woman becomes like a beautiful butterfly when she is nurtured with the love of the man that's has her heart. No woman needs a dramatic display of affection from her man. She just needs to be cherished , adored ,and cared for. Proverbs 18:22 He who finds a wife finds a good thing, And obtains favor from the Lord Your spouse is a beautiful gift .how are you treating it? 

        My husband and I are 

   One Flesh ,One Body , One MARRIAGE .

A strong marriage isn't magically created when you say I do it's built on a lifetime of I do's marriage is a sacred vow between a man and a woman and the Bible offers many verses that offer guidance for married couples marriage is not a contract or a commitment it is a covenant. your MARRIAGE Mission should be to have a christ-centered MARRIAGE. That brings glory to God through the way that we love and the way that we live . That we will be Servants of Grace who give more then we're given and forgive before we're forgiven. Marriage has a unique place because it speaks of absolute faithfulness a covenant between husband and wife. God's plan for MARRIAGE is about our holiness not about our happiness. the greatest couples worship Jesus . not each other, Covenant Love. I do , even when you don't .my promise doesn't depend on your actions. I will , even when you want. you don't fall into love You commit to it . a marriage built on Christ is a marriage built to last. Is your marriage built on solid rock or  sinking sand ? 

              Proverbs 18:22.   

       He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord. Husbands never sacrifice three things. your family, your heart, or your dignity.husbands love your wives just as Christ loved the church and gave his life for it. this means that you should be willing to risk your life to help or save your wife. men of God lead her like Abraham ,fight for her like Jacob , care for her like Boaz, love her like Christ.

              Proverbs 31:10

  She is far more precious than rubies.  The Godly wife is a treasure to Behold a beauty to admire a woman to be greatly treasured. a Godly woman chooses to seek wisdom more than fine gold and precious gems . she knows that her greatest accessory to wear daily is God's Divine wisdom she is a wife of the word not a wife of the world. As a wife you have tremendous influence on your husband use your influence to draw him closer to you and to God. you are the melody. God has chosen to play on the foreground of your husband's world . Father before my husband turns to the right or left .May he hear you say. "this is the way ; walk in it. " Isaiah 30:21".  Fill your life with God's word , so you will be a wise counselor to your husband. A excellent wife is the crown of her husband. In marriage do for your spouse what God did for you in Jesus ... The rest will follow. A husband and wife must function like two wings on the same bird they must work together or the marriage will never get off the ground. 

             "    Keep  The Crush " Do what you did in the BEGINNING of the Relationship and there won't be an End.  Take a moment and reflect back on the day you met your spouse remember the things that got your attention and put a smile across your heart. love is not about the beauty of a person it's about the beauty of the relationship. a person's Beauty May fade but a beautiful relationship lingers on forever. a true relationship is two imperfect people refusing to give up on each other. always remember the beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves and not to twist them to fit our own image otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them. We don't often realize how easy it is to just love. we were created for that reason and we've called it the most difficult tasks to complete that's where we fail. it doesn't complete nor ever finish. it's everlasting. God has loved us from the very beginning. If God is the center of your relationship nothing can break it "Colossians 3:23" whatever you do, work at it with all your heart , as working for the Lord. remember no matter what you're going through as a couple or who started it . God's first. Humble yourself and surrender your  heart and realize  he doesn't Begin by fixing my spouse he begins by healing and fixing me. Though one can be overpowered  two can defend themselves. "Ecclesiastes 4:12 " a cord of three strands is not quickly broken. Tie your relationship back together with God . that's when you truly see the beauty of your spouse. The beginning of a relationship never ends when your eyes and heart are fixed on Jesus "AS ONE ". Where is God in your Relationship?
