Good morning, Lord Jesus.
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - You are God and You are So Good to me!
...
"Then the Lord said, 'It is
not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper as his partner.'
... Then the man said, 'This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh.'
... Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and clings to his wife, and
they become one flesh" (Genesis 2:18-24).
"So they are no longer two,
but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no man put asunder"
(Matthew 19:6, KJV).
You are a great Father Who
wants the very best for Your sons and daughters. You know everything we need
because You created us to need those things. And You know everything we turn
toward to fill those needs instead of turning to You; and though it breaks Your
heart to see us hurt and fail, You never stop calling us and never stop drawing
us into the best You still have for us, if we will turn to You and trust in
You.
I've needed a partner in
ministry and for my family, and a companion in my journey. And the honest truth
is - no matter how painful it's been to endure or how embarrassing it is to
admit - I've been married and divorced, engaged and disengaged, full of faith
and hope and expectations for great things to come in my personal relationships
and emptied of it all when it didn't come to pass as I had planned. But You are
faithful; and You are forgiving. You are the God Who loves to redeem all things
to bring beauty from ashes, joy from sadness, and hope from despair. You never
tire of wanting Your best for each of us. "The steadfast love of the Lord never
ceases, His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; Great is
Your faithfulness" (Lamentations 3:22-23).
You gave Your best for me
to me yesterday. In a small, private time of exchanging the vows of our hearts
in our covenant with God and one another, I married the one I believe You have
chosen for me - Sylvia Jackson Hays. And in my faith in You and knowing Who You
are, I believe I am Your best for her. She's perfect for me! She's
Spirit-filled, highly and accurately prophetic, smart, funny, drop dead
gorgeous; both a financial advisor in the marketplace and a spiritual teacher in
the church. But most of all, she's crazy about me and believes with all her
heart You told her it would be an honor to be my wife. We both believe this is
Your holy alignment for our Divine assignment and prophetic destiny in life and
ministry for the extension of Your Kingdom through our lives in ways together we
could never fulfill alone. "A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs
his steps" (Proverbs 16:9).
Lord, as best as I can and
all by Your grace, help me love Sylvia like Christ loves the Church; help me
honor her, encourage her, love and cherish her, lay down my life for her in
every way You lead me. Let her know every day that I am Your gift to her. And
remind me every day that she is Your gift to me. In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
Be
encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
