Can You Hear Me Now

A few weeks back I was talking with my accountability prayer partners. We come together for prayer every Thursday morning before work. As usual no subject is off limits and any man can attend, now this particular morning my heart was heavy as we were sharing about the awkward times that we stumble, especially with our families. Immediately my mind started racing as I sat in my seat thinking about the previous weekend. Isn't God good the way that he gives us conformation about a subject or decision that we must make?

Men it's our duty to care for our wives, as they are a precious gift from God. Let's do a better job in caring for the vessel that God gave to each of us. Men I confess that I at times have been insensitive to my wife. In other words I've cracked her. I look at my wife as a very precious vessel from God. This is a rough thing to say or even to admit out loud, but I in the past have broken my vessel without even realizing it. She always let's me know when I'm getting close to scratching her veneer, so to speak. I have to pause to even realize just what I did or said. Men, with God's help anything can be put back together again. God created the world and everything in it, in Ezekiel 37:1-10 you'll see how He can put us back together again, when we fall apart.

A few Sundays back I sat my wife down and asked her what does a Woman (wife) want from her Husband. She looked me straight in the eyes and responded that every wife craves a one on one audience. No Television, No Computer or even Children at this time. Then she said that the bedroom is a married couples inner sanctuary. This is where a couple can find out where they've changed. Where we as men can find out when we changed from being that Knight in Shining Armour, that Sturdy Oak in her eyes. We need to ask our wives when did we actually fall from Knighthood, our ego's will most likely get bruised but we need to backtrack and repair. Then my wife said that communication is very important on both parts: We must ask each other how have I changed? We must stay on course, it's about you and her not the children or even your jobs. It's so very important to have this kind of sharing time. Remember It's OK to ask the hard questions: Ask her to be totally honest with her answers as your marriage depends on bridging the gap in your relationship. This is most likely is a good time to share your Needs, Wants and Desires.

Men don't be blind sided by every day trials... The Bible tells us in Gen. 2:18 (Oneness) Eph. 5:22-33) *Washing doesn't mean "Demanding" crying for attention - We Must teach we must walk this earth as Jesus walked!!! Always be prepared to share and teach with your families, you and your wife must be on one accord in order to combat Humanism and Evil.

My goal in 2008 is to get better acquainted with Jesus Christ and help others toward Spiritual maturity. Jesus challenged us out of the quagmire of unbelief by giving promises that cannot be bound by human conception; We may ask "Whatever" or "Anything" (John 14: 13-14) "If you ask Me anything in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

"A Christian is not a man who never goes wrong, but a man is enabled to repent and pick himself up and begin over again. After each Stumble - because the Christ - Life is inside, repairing him all the time, enabling him to repent (in some degree) the kind of voluntary death which Christ Himself carried out". C.S.Lewis

Have a great day in the Lord...
