So first i just want to share a verse about the seriousness of what i have currently been praying about for my future. About my wife, my spouse, the one i am to be one flesh.
Matthew 19; Verse 5-6
For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh' So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.
I must admit i let my heart and feelings interfere with my life with Christ and i know one important thing in my life will be my wife, haha. Currently i have never had a girlfriend but am excited for what God has in store, i mean i need to trust that im going to get married right. Theres a verse later on in this chapter that talks about and others have renounced marriage because of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accepth this should accept it. =), personally i dont think i can accept this, but maybe i will who knows if God presses it upon my heart to just be united with Him all the timmeeee and not with a spouse. BUt my heart does get divided a lot and i know that with women (one of the biggest problem areas in my life, concerning sin) it is something i need to view as sisterly relationship first. One flesh ey, =) im excited for waht God has in store for me, who it is, what shes like. IM trusting in Him, ive been praying for her too, that we would faithfully walk whatever God has called us to. And that she is growing spiritually and growing in her spiritual walk as well so that we can run towards Christ together.
Matthew 21; Jesus awnsered, "if you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.
It talks about later in the chapter that its easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. First i want to say one of the main reasons why i am even contemplating switching my major is for that reason alone. I felt that God gave me the desire to live a froogle??? life. But my divided heart is saying NONONO, i want to be wealthy and be able to provide for my family and my parents and sister. But in reflecting on these types of verses on waht we must give up for the kingdom of God its nice to know that God doesnt look at our monentary value. He truly does look at our hearts, and with these treasures on earth its difficult to see waht God has to offer. A lot like many other things in our life, were so distracted by the things of this world which one of them is certainly money, we need to relinquish the trust that we have in money, our friends, our family and look solely at the Cross. Of THAT PRICE that was paid, of THAT TREASURE that we have been given and take up the calling that God wants for us which is to be followers of His glory and love.
