Husbands,
Love Your Wives,
And Never Treat Them Harshly
But being mean and harsh comes natural for me …
Scripture
Colossians 3
Observation
I
can be pretty mean to Kathy sometimes.
In
fact, I can just be pretty mean. But since Kathy is the closest person to me
and the person that I love the most for some reason I can be meaner to her than
anyone else. Do you experience that in your relationship too?
Being
mean for all of us, if we are honest, comes natural. It takes no effort on our
part for that meanness to spew out. We are born that way.
But
Christ followers are new creations. We have been given a new nature. The Holy
Spirit lives within us. Our family, especially Kathy, should see Jesus in me.
Since
I have a new nature I should be different and I should treat Kathy differently.
Careless words
stab like a sword,
but wise
words bring healing. Proverbs
12:18
Application
I
will try hard not to be “harsh” with Kathy this week.
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, help those in my family be gentle with those that they love. Help me
love Kathy in a way that makes You smile. Don’t let me be harsh. Don’t let me
be mean. Correct me just as soon as I show anything other than love towards
her. I pray for those who are sick this morning. I pray especially for Kay
Brooks in the hospital. I pray for healing. May she sense your Strength and
Your Presence this morning.
