On My Way To Heaven

Marriage is one of the most beautiful inventions of God. I just love being married.

Being loved, and love. It seems, at times, like an everlasting love tale. His hand over mine and my body under his embrace. His prayers and hard work. He is my man, my beloved, my Amado.

Our marriage, so perfect,  suddenly does not seem like that. I want to do something, noble indeed, godly, and Christian….but he says no.  What is the response from my heart? He sends me a” kiss” through  my phone…and I think.

Do I believe the Bible? Is Sola Scriptura a banner over my life and actions?

The Bible, the Truth, says I must submit to Him. Paul in the letter to the Ephesians (5:22-24) said:

²² Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. ²³For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. ²⁴Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.

Where is the blessing, the promise? Where?

It is just there, I just do not have the willingness to believe. As I submit to my husband I am reflecting the attitude that Jesus is expecting from His bride.

And what about the need I see outside? What am I going to do? Pray…pray and pray…God knows. He is God and is sited on the throne.

And again, do I believe in God’s sovereignty? Do I believe the doctrines that I say define my character?

It is not only kissing, and embracing. Those things which make our marriage godly are not those external signs. Jesus said that the world would know that we are his disciples when we love each other.

³⁴ A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. ³⁵ By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Loving God, loving Jesus, means on my daily way to heaven, to love my husband and honor his decisions. This speaks louder than a thousand “I love you”, more than kisses and embraces.

May the Lord help me to be a godly and submissive wife; a faithful bride, and great lover. A brave Christian woman who believes and acts according to her Credo.
