Love that God had for me

Today we celebrate 15 years of marriage under God's eyes and man as well.

How we got our beginning is not nearly as important as how we will finish. It began extremely rough, selfish, and hurting many. I pray that we finish as God truly intended love to be: raw, from the heart, not selfish, always giving 110 percent to overlap and so we just don't meet in the middle, to submit, to love deeply, to listen, to abandon self, to give and give some more. I believe with all my heart that you and I will finish well, because GOD is in the middle of US. I see these attributes already in you and I can only hope that you will begin to see them in me because YOU delight me.


It is an honor to be your wife.

Lovingly,
Yolanda

Father, thank You for the gift of marriage. For joining us together and binding us together. You are the binding, You are the joining, You are the glue that causes us to stick. May I always submit to my husband and may he always love me. Father, I pray that I never give my Man a reason to roam or second guess. That we do this life journey, together, as You lead us. Thank You Father for Bill, for March 31, for yesterday, today and all tomorrow's. Amen.

Yolanda...I forgot TOTALLY yesterday to pass at your blog to say HAPPY ANNIVERSARY..
We both stepped in "the boat of marriage" 15 years ago..
I prayed and say Amen to this...
" I pray that we finish as God truly intended love to be: raw, from the heart, not selfish, always giving 110 percent to overlap and so we just don't meet in the middle, to submit, to love deeply, to listen, to abandon self, to give and give some more. "
By holding on to my marriage i experience as you called your post "Iove that God had for me"....
Blessings
Bernice
