MARRIAGE & ADULTERY

What is the most romantic, sacrificial thing that you've ever done for love?

Think about being married to the person of your dreams and waking up to that person every morning. Telling that person that you love him/her every night while joyfully sacrificing for that person and praying for that person's well being and peace. Think about everything that you will go through in this life, whether good or bad just by being married to that person.

Imagine when that that person, cheats on you. After all the loving, giving, time, sacrifices, struggles, and patience that you've given them.

NOW CLOSE YOUR EYES AND COUNT TO 10, WHILE YOU REFLECT ON THE STATEMENT ABOVE.

BLUEPRINT: WHAT'S THE POINT OF GOING TO CHURCH?

I was raised to always have a back of plan. To make sure if plan A didn't work that plan B and C were already blueprinted. To focus on paying my bills and being independent. To focus on my career and my desires.

and to an extent that was the worst thing I could ever do.

You see, I developed a habit to think about me FIRST and then help everyone else. I was raised to think that Jesus was okay with me just going to church. At least I went to church, right? I sat camouflaged in one church for almost 8 years because going to church is easy and Jesus is easy but dealing with people and their baggage, is, quit difficult. I have my own problems! My own baggage! My own family and friend drama..so who needs more?When you get a chance read my blog post entitled The Answer. I realized that the more and more I focused on myself, the more miserable I'd become. The more I focused on Jesus, the more Jesus would call me to focus on him and other people. [Romans 8:5-8]
