Ladies DBV

Engraved inside my wedding band is a  message from my husband

I do… Isaiah 41 vs 9-13

Just the other day i was overwhelmed with worry and was almost letting up to the many sources of stress around me. I’d totally forgotten about the message in my ring, and sometimes when I’m fidgetty i twirl my ring, taking it off, I looked inside and saw the message it held.

I knew where to go for it to make sense to me… And it’s message has held more meaning to me ever since.

Not quite romatic words, or sweet honey coated words that makes your heart do backflips when you read them. The words are not his either. The words are strong, firm and authortative. Words from someone who can not be challenged, contested, or dubbed a liar. Words we can both rely on. They’re almost fighting words, to keep us sane and in to keep things in perspective as we face life – together… 

I took you from the ends of the earth,
       from its farthest corners I called you.
       I said, ‘You are my servant’;
       I have chosen you and have not rejected you.

 ¹⁰ So do not fear, for I am with you;
       do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
       I will strengthen you and help you;
       I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

This month has been one of deep revelations and empowerement. Things don’t seem the same to me anymore… Each Word seems to hold a new revelation, that voice that comes in the still of the night, on with the morning’s frosty breeze seem much clearer and louder… harder to ignore…

How can I be afraid when He is with me (with us) i’m determined to hold on to him on my way to the really good days… things are exciting now, because we’re on a verge on something new, something big, and I can’t help but think, I have to hold on to Him when things get even more amazing…

Come what may, God is God… that’s really what the message is… when you’re strong, he’s strenght. When you’re poor, he’s the riches you need… But you loose all this when your expectations are different from what he’s offering, or what he is.

Job had to come to a new realisation of who God is. The God he religiously sought, allowed him to be in a postion where he’ll long for a relationship with Himself… and that relationship took Job to greater heights…

I’m left thinking, no matter what Lord… I’ll always love you…

And thank you for giving me a husband that’ll always take me back to the altar, where You are because that’s where our love is. Despite where we’ve been and wherever we wonder, your altar is where our love for you always brings us and keeps us.  

God’s Word is more than words, it’s life… It’s choice to live it.

be/stay blessed.
