Karlyn: TWM Day 26

Good Monday Morning!  Good weekend just too fast!  Starting to run again today!  Praying I can get back on track.  The race is December 1st!

S - Titus 2:1-5

O - For me these are the standout points from this session...

"you need to realize that you are both sinners in need of God’s grace".

"I want to tell you, the best marriage is nothing more than two sinners continually humbling themselves and knowing how to get to the cross and find the grace of God. The best marriage does not come easily and does not happen apart from the cross."

Sturgeon

"He does not expect perfection in the creature, and, therefore, he is not disappointed when he does not find it"

^{"your husband’s strengths and weaknesses are exactly what God knew you needed for you to become the woman God wanted you to be. That’s true vice versa as well. Your strengths and weaknesses are what God knew your husband needed for him to become the man he needs to be"}

^{"Regardless of what his sins or failures may be, it’s no less a sin on your part to respond to those failures in a critical or harsh or unloving way."}

^{"It’s so easy to point out his failures, his flaws, his shortcomings. The question is not, “Does your husband have failures, flaws, and shortcomings?” He does. The question is, “Are you loving him anyway?”}

^{A - So how do I apply all of this?  First I have to be loving God and my relationship with him more than anything else in my life.  Second I have to remember my role as a wife and apply what God's Word teaches me.  Humility and confession of sin go a long way!!!!}

^{P - Lord you know I struggle with selfishness and pride.  Help me to pray for Ryan, verbally encourage him, and practice being a woman after your heart.}
