CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Been a tough week with the wife relations. Been fighting over stupid things and stress makes things worse. I thought to myself, it would be easier if I was on my own. BUT….she is “my own” she is part of me as my wife. Scripture reads:

“In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as they love their own bodies. For a man who loves his wife actually shows love for himself.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5:28‬ ‭

“No one hates his own body but feeds and cares for it, just as Christ cares for the church.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5:29‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“So again I say, each man must love his wife as he loves himself….”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5:33‬ ‭

So when I get frustrated with my wife, I’m really getting frustrated with myself. I need to take care of her as I would take care of me. I haven’t been doing that lately.

I didn’t have a lot prepared but Tweet-E stepped up and shared about the impermanence of just about everything.  Whether you’re experiencing the best times or the worst times, the seasons of life do indeed change and you will only experience your current situation for a fleeting moment.   Therefore if you’re struggling with a tough time, show some grit for this season will pass.  Likewise if you’re experiencing a time of blessing right now, enjoy it to the fullest because it will not last forever.
