He is my first…

Relationship… defined as a state of connectedness between people involving mutual dealings; kinship or connection by blood, marriage, or adoption. 

There is one relationship I wouldn’t trade for anything or anyone, because He was my first! Even before I could really understand the connectedness between us, He was the one who  I was connected with through blood and marriage.  It is my heavenly covenant ( agreement between God and me in which He makes certain promises and requires certain behavior from me in return). 

Nonetheless, our earthly covenant (spiritual and legal union to create kinship) is the one where we had to prepare and position ourself for that  ”certain behavior in return”.   Marriage is a blessing… some may say yes and those who are married may say different. But trust and believe that if you ever get married or you currently are married, God’s plan and purpose is to help us clearly understand the behavior we must have in return! 

For a mature christian seeks God’s will and wisdom daily…

That one was free 

But getting back on task…

There is a miracle in marriage… the miracle of transformation.  Transformation is the PROCESS which involves the transformation of the whole person in thoughts, behaviors, and styles of relating with God and others. And transformation in marriage results in a life of service to your spouse and being a witness for Christ.

For women, God is preparing us to be a part of our husband’s destiny. And in that preparation/birthing  we must remember and continue these behaviors in return: prayer, preparation, practice, praise, purpose in what our role in marriage. And none of these things cease when and after we say, “I do”.  But the one thing that keeps us pressing toward the PROMISE and destiny for RELATIONSHIP is, we must always remember what we are carrying and who is our first!
