Forever in love
So often as couples, we seem distracted by life for mom it is soccer games Youth group Pac night’s dad it is late nights in the office then over tired but even after the kids go to bed our love life gets distracted. Our, us time seems to instead of being focused on each other, we are either staring at a computer, a book or a TV screen. I admit sometimes we just need to do absolutely nothing but we are growing into a culture that time together means in the same room. This is wrong! When you think of putting the kids to bed, it should excite you not because your show is coming on but because the thought of being alone and investing time in your partner is exciting you. How can we have a pure relationship with them when our lusts are more interested in the doctor lawyer, gore lust, and adulteries and just pure God abhorring evils we are permitting in our homes. It is a disgusting abomination to God to know what evils the Christians are watching after they put the kids to bed? You go on the favourite shows lists of your friends facebook and check it out? This is what the bible sys about it! James 4:“4 You adulterers![a] Don’t you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God? I say it again: If you want to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God. 5 What do you think the Scriptures mean when they say that the spirit God has placed within us is filled with envy?[b] Why does it say that God is jealous? He is jealous of the evil we are wilfully allowing in our homes. It has taken the place of the love relationship we should be having with Him. So often in our earlier years Jeremy would be watching a show and I would be watching him wishing that he was watching me instead. It seams that we have replaced our intimacy with God, and with each other, with a lust for entertainment. What may have started a just a little bad has escalated into full-blown murder and sex. Don’t you realize you are actively participating, merely by watching? Matthew 5:28 (NLT)28 But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. He is saying just to watch is the same a committing the acts that you are watching. What are you watching? What sins are you committing in you living room after the kids go to bed? What demons are you inviting into your home every night? If your kids suffer from nightmares consider who opened the door and said come on in boys. Don’t be a victim of stupidity over the things of the spirit. Be the warrior over your home and mind, that God has ordained you to be. Philippians 4:8-9 (NLT). 8 And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honourable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. So hear is the ruler God has given for what we are to be focusing our thoughts on. How do you measure? Tonight after you put the kids to bed, look across the room to the true, honourable, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, praise worthy partner sitting across from you, and focus your thoughts on them. Find your lost intimacy and feast on its youthful pleasures. Take the time to stare into the eyes that embrace your heart. Open your heart to indulge in words of passion long forgotten. Words soft and intimate that speak more than a thousand kisses and last far longer. May your heart long for the evenings when you can be alone with your partner and express the passions of Forever in love!
