I'm starting this blog to I guess provide myself with some accountability that I will read the bible everyday and to reflect on a verse that moves me. I want to share this with you, again somewhat for accountability but also as a way for me to share my feelings with you.
Today I read Ephesians Chapter 1:1 - 14
The verse that stood out to me the most tonight was "God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes." It struck me. How often do we, or I, look at others with fault in our eyes. I know that I think to think that I don't do it but I do. I know what has happened between us and I know that I cast fault your way. It's not fair even though the hurt is still there. Why can't I be more like Christ and look at you with no fault as God does. I choose to love you, marry you through good times and bad. The good is always easier isn't it but does it make one grow, no. It's the bad times that make us grow. They are not fun but I do truly believe that they are there for a reason. I apologize for looking at you with fault and not always a tender love. That is what Christ wants from us to look at each with love, not judging and definitely not with fault. Please know that my intentions are there even if they are not displayed on a daily basis. I can only pray that with time God will heal us both from this pain.
Dear God,
Please give me the strength that I need to look at all with no fault. For that is the way that you look at me, a sinner. One who you know what my sins are yet you do not judge me or cast fault my way. You forgive me and love me as your child. Lord, teach me through your guidance and love to resemble that same love towards my husband and others. That I may look at others as children of Christ and not cast fault.
In your precious name!
Amen
