When I wrote romance- A Poem

With each scribble

Each stroke of the keyboard

I fell in love with each hero

Pieces of me in every heroine

When I felt loveless

The male leads would say I love you

Yet as I hunched over the computer

Lording over characters 

Determining their ends

Loneliness had set 

I had tried to gain love but felt worthless

Even while I played god

Over my written world

He showed me His love

Jesus loves not as man does

God does not look at the outer appearance 

But looks in the heart

He loved me while I was unlovable 

Now my eyes look towards that day

The culmination in heaven

A wedding feast as the Bride

Christ our Heavenly Bridegroom

What It Takes to Have a Good Marriage

Jesus. The Holy Spirit has to empower you to love sacrificially, to hold the person as higher than yourself. As a wife what God calls me to do is to respect my husband. He is called to love me as Christ loved the church, to wash me in the water of the Word. 

I am thankful for what God has provided. Its so sweet that God has graciously set us in a state where we love each other more each day. I look at him and think wow this man is so handsome. Anyway let me go back to the topic at hand I don't think we would be in this honeymoon state of mind if it wasn't for Christ at work in our lives. 

God help me to be a good wife to him. To be thankful at what you do in his life. To submit to his leadership. To trust him because he trusts you and to communicate with him.  

God consider our desire for children and do it so others will marvel at what you do. You who gave children to Sarah, to Rebecca, to Rachel, to Hannah, to Elizabeth will surely be able to do it in our life. 

May our marriage reflect Christ and the Church. Thank you God for my husband, for Your love, for sending Your Son to die for us despite us being undeserving.
