WHO OR WHAT ARE YOU ROMANCING?
A young man had just gotten his new set
of wheels (a car). He was so excited, it
seemed as if he was on cloud nine so to speak. Several times throughout the day he would
polish it, and shine the tires. Carefully making sure there were no marks on
the magnificent paint job! No one was even allowed to go near his car. You know
what - this young man took steps to protect his fine car from the elements of
the sun, and the rain. Eating in his car was out of the question. He kept it
immaculately clean. The startling thing is, this young man spent most of his
time cleaning, polishing, and waxing his car; making sure he could see himself
in it. Little did this young man realize that he was really romancing the car a
thing if you please!
He spent hardly any time with his wife -
Wife? Oh yes, he had completely forgotten all about her. Valentine's Day is fast approaching, pause
for a moment to ponder on this question. Who or what are you romancing? See .while
Valentine Day is only one day STOP! Take a moment come on. Take a deep breath
in Now breathe out There. Wives, Have you been really taking care of your husbands?
When was the last time you ironed his clothes, drew his bath, or just said
something nice to him? Indeed. While he may be very disgusting and all into
himself; still wives, this is no excuse to neglect him ! Take another breath breathe out one more time.
Breathe in that's it. Now breathe out.
Yes! Yes! Focus right here on the Word from Romans 12:21 NKJV "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome
evil with good." Wives in every
area where you have stopped caring for husbands, may Abba Father pour His
healing oil and empowerment, enabling you to be submissive to your husbands
with joy. Grace and mercy through the
work of The Holy Spirit will empower you with Abba Father's love to wash your
husband's clothes, and cook his food, so much so he would think his clothes
went to the cleaners to be pressed; and the cooking would taste so good, he
would ask you what you put in it! Please tell them you put your love in it!
Husbands, some of you have been neglecting your wives like the young man, who
spent most of his time on his car. Yes, the wives rowing may seem like all day
and all night, and maybe they are hardly ever home. Yet when they are you give them
the silent treatment. The question then, to both husbands and wives is, who or
what are you romancing? Take inventory, who or what and where are you spending
your time. Take heed you could be romancing the who, and romancing the what!
The young man with his new car take note of how he polished it until he could
see himself as if he was looking in a mirror.
He neglected his wife while doing this.
He was romancing a thing, his car. Husbands and wives have we allowed our hearts
to grow cold toward each other? Have we allowed
a person, or a particular thing or things to stop the romance in our marriage? Here is a reminder which bears repeating.
(Where Did Love Go? Excerpt from the Book A Higher Dimension) "Honey, I'm
home! How was your day? A warm embrace, a tender moment! Yes, these are a few
expressions, but where did love go?” Now-a-days it is like, "He reach"
or it maybe more like a grunt or hardly a word spoken. Husbands, you may be
thinking, "Lord, help me to go home to this nagging woman!" No hugs, no
smiles. Where did love go? The honeymoon seems to be over, now there is
"no honey in the moon" so to speak, and you may not know the last
time you saw the moon where did love go? Do you remember the day you accepted
Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour? You were all excited and filled with
zeal for the Lord. Just as you were on
your wedding day, but where did love go? Your passion for Jesus Christ has
diminished. You hardly ever pick up the Word to study and mediate on the
scriptures anymore. You don't pray like you used to pray either. When was the last
time you took to the streets to share the Good News of Salvation? When was the last time you visited the
hospital to share the Word, and to pray for the sick? What about the prison? Have you visited the prison to share His love
with the inmates there? Where did love go? You are at your wits end so to speak,
and may feel all alone. Then the Words of Jesus speaks from within read what
Matthew 11:28-31 says (28) "Come
unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
(29) "Take My yoke upon you, and
learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your
souls. (30) "For My yoke is easy,
and My burden is light." Where
did love go? At this very moment the Word which is Spirit and Life immediately
begins cutting and healing in complete submission love begins to flow like a
river from within! Love so tender and so sweet oh, where did love go? Love did
flow like a river with the sounds of the rippling water among the lilies,
hearing the chirping birds singing and making melody in the trees, but oh, where
did love go? It is as if you have gone on a long journey! Yet I will not give
up on love so tender and so sweet but, oh! How much does it cost? Then I keep
hearing the resounding answer loud and clearly - it cost Jesus Christ His life
on the cruel cross of Calvary! So my love, I know that only with His Love we
will triumph and soar above the storms. I
pray soon you will return to love so tender and so sweet for love is awaiting
your return! Yes, Abba Father is awaiting your return to His abundant flowing love,
which loves you unconditionally. Can you
hear Him asking the question over and over again - “Who or what are you
romancing?” Husbands and wives all across the globe, on this Valentine's Day
renew the warmth of your love for each other. Take a deep breath in - now
breathe out! Pause for a moment - here we go (An excerpt from the Book, The Winds
of Change) "Love is feeling the warmth of your love, and spending quality
time with you. Love is wiping away your tears and comforting you in your time
of distress. Love is bearing the wrong
and not retaliating. Holding you instead
in a firm embrace. Love is being there
for you in your loneliest hour, and in the dark shadows of the night; praying
for you until the break of dawn. I made a vow to love you all the days of my
life, and so my darling together we shall triumph in every storm and sing the
sweet refrain. Love is stronger than death and love triumphs over wrong! "
Husbands and wives be sensitive to each
others needs, enjoy each other making it a priority to respect one another, and
it would become evident and known in your home, or wherever you roam.....that you
are romancing each other, and not another, or a thing, nor a what!
BEWARE ! "WHOM GOD HAS JOINED TOGETHER LET NO MAN OR WOMAN PUT ASUNDER."
Give Abba Father PRAISE and enjoy not
only on Valentine's Day, but each day you may grow together in the bond of His
Love!
