The Little Things

Saturday, September 24, 2022

Some marriage advice today. There are marriages that break up over somebody leaving the toilet seat up or the cap off the toothpaste. The smallest difference, if not dealt with, forgiven, or resolved, can destroy a relationship. If the smallest issue is kept inside to fester, it's going to build a wall. On the other hand, the biggest difference can actually build a marriage, if it causes each one to come together to work it out. Successful marriages aren't those without any problems or differences, but those marriages in which the differences are worked out. Your relationship with God is a marriage, and like marriage, the smallest difference can destroy your peace and your relationship. If you're upset or disagree with God, or are hurt - let Him know it, don't hold it in. Deal with it together. Tell Him what you think. Then praise Him for being right and do what He says. Bring it to Him, whatever it is, lift it to Him, take it really close and there won't be any walls. You'll have a good, healthy, successful relationship and marriage to God.
