Spiritual Man

I know many Christian ladies have this idea that they don't want a man who is 'too spiritual'. For me, my husband's spirituality is exactly the most important reason I agreed to marry him. I love him, I am very attracted to him, but how many people have I been attracted to and 'loved' before? From the time I reached puberty attraction to a man, or boy at that time was the most natural thing ever. And the feeling of being in love was just as natural. So if making a lifetime decision is going to be based on feelings, then it's a gamble. I decided to go the safer way and trust God to lead me to the right man for me.

I knew without a single doubt that this man is a gift from God, and today as he encourages me with scriptural words, without even knowing that I am discouraged, I just feel like God is saying to me, "I love you, I will always be here to help you". I would have never had this deeply intimate relationship with my husband if our relationship was only physical and emotional. I had to first be a spiritual woman who works on her intimacy with God through worship, prayer and service, always seeking to please my God. And while I was busy with my God, the man I was to get married to was also busy building his relationship with God, learning to be led by Him and to depend on him. Now that we are together, we are both confident that God who brought us together will never leave us nor forsake us.

It started with me saying: God, I am tired of living a sinful life. Forgive me and save me. I know that Jesus is your Son and I can get to You though him, I believe he died on the cross for me and is now risen.

I sincerely wanted to surrender my life to God because I realised that all I had could go away any minute and I'd have no one. I could lose my family, my friends, so I needed to have something that could never ever be taken away from me. God is that one thing. So no amount of betrayal, loss or disappointment can make me lose hope now because I have God.

Receive Christ into your life and experience true Peace.
