Blessed me

Thank you M. for sharing. This has blessed me this morning.

 I really like the "take out the popcorn and watch the movie, but stay obedient". I have found myself doing that very thing and at times it has been hilarious.  I thank God that I am in a place where I can laugh and move on. During these times God has given me so much wisdom on where my husband was mentally and spiritually because I was not caught up in his craziness. Then I was able to pray for my husband according to what God has shown me.  

 Keep on pressing Girl. God is obligated to bless you for your obedience. He loves you.

Submission and obedience

Coworkers, Siblings, Sphere of Influence, As we're obedient and Submissive to them all, showing them love and not being a stumbling block to them at all cost, then we are submitting to God and being Obedient to Him.

 

Things people do, or that we do, cause us to Curdle with Anger inside or with fear inside of us.  God Cares about that very much.  Its our responsibility to take those things in the prayer closet daily.  But God, He cares for the other person's soul that we are interacting with most of all.  That by our interactions with others; husbands, coworkers, siblings, whoever, must be in our minds that we Love them so much despite our own feelings about them or what they have done to us to others, that we don't say or do anything that would cause them to slip stumble or fall from the salvation gift of God.

 

Get out of the plantation and don't be ruled by your feelings.

C. said a profound statement her mother gave her once.  

 

"When your husband acts crazy,  pop some popcorn & watch the movie.  Remain obedient to God."
