  A picture
Last week, I really felt God had something to tell me.

It goes like this.

After working a solid week of moving I realized, I had damaged my wedding band. Lifting heavy weights had bent my ring completely out of shape.

Soon after, I went to the mall with a friend and decided to go and get it fixed. We stopped at one jeweller and they said they would have to send it out, because it was so bad they couldn't just put it on the repair post. The gold would crack if they tried to repair it that way. It needed to be heated.

So we went to a jeweller who had a repair sign in the window. 20 minutes later I had my ring back, perfectly rounded and cleaned. It looks great.

Here's what I got out of this.

Our marriage is like my ring. All the abuse and pressures and neglect (if I had removed it during work it wouldn't have been bent) over the years has completely bent our relationship out of shape. But God said trying to just fix it, cold would cause it to just crack, or even break completely. So He needs us to give Him our marriage, so that He can heat it, reshape it, and clean it. That when the Master Jeweller is finished, it is once again perfectly shaped.

And then He said.....Ray, your Love is true, it's the other stuff I need you to give Me.

And then the following Sunday, in church, the Pastor spoke on Hosea being the image of God's steadfastness. And then in Prayer, God promised to restore everything that has been taken from me.

Which relates to a verse I was given prophetically from Hosea...Chapter 6 vs 1 to 3

1 "Come, and let us return to the LORD; for he has torn us to pieces, and he will heal us; he has injured us, and he will bind up our wounds.
2 After two days he will revive us. On the third day he will raise us up, and we will live before him.
3 Let us acknowledge the LORD. Let us press on to know the LORD. As surely as the sun rises, The LORD will appear. He will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain that waters the earth."

That's my post for the day.
God bless, Peace Out.

  How do you?
A thought perculating in my mind.

How do you share your heart with someone who will not listen?

There is so much I want to share with someone, but everytime I open my mouth or write it down it is silenced. Everything I say is just taken and reversed or given a negative spin.

Those of you who have read my blog for awhile know I'm refering to my wife. It seems to be that everything I try to write or say is ignored, or she doesn't want to hear me.

I do understand that I haven't been the strongest or most wonderful of conversation partners for the first while, but now that I feel growth and God's spirit moving in me, I want to share it, but she won't hear me.

Father, how do I share my heart with her? How do I share my thoughts, my feelings?

Any insight would be welcome.

Father, I love my wife, and I desire my family to be "born again" in You. Please show me the way.

God bless, Peace Out.
 
My thoughts, my life. My Faith, My Doubts.
