Something Precious

We are in another Covid lockdown at the moment, once again most people are having time at home with family. I was born in the late 50’s and have seen huge changes in society over 60 plus years. There has been an assault on many things that were the fabric of the society I grew up in.

Marriage and family were the basis of what I knew. The family unit is amazingly precious, the corner stone of human civilization through the ages and cultures. We can’t change history but we can have an honest look at where things are at with ourselves. I saw an article yesterday advertising help lines to call for people suffering domestic abuse during this covid lockdown. Sad. I hesitate to write about this subject for many reasons but my motivation for it is simple.

If you are married today its the most precious human relationship you will ever have. Get before the Lord in honesty and ask the Lord to shine His light in and show you the true state of things. Bad can become good, good can become better, better can become excellent. We ignore this relationship at our peril. Twice I have seen the Lord really focus HIs gaze and intent in our church and ministry on marriages. First time was a number of years ago where over a short space of time there was intense dealings with the Lord. I have that same feeling again, God is moving powerfully again in a fresh call to maturity and once again one of the key areas is marriages.

I love family, natural and spiritual. To me a Godly marriage is a key ingredient to what God has on His heart. Get before God and be real and honest with Him and each other, fix it dear henry.
