  • Nobody Plans Rotten Things
    Thursday, July 11, 2024

    Nobody plans a rotten relationship with their spouse or goes to premarital counseling on how to put together a bad marriage. Bad marriages are not planned. You don't have to plan to be selfish, take the other person for granted, or let the romance grow cold. That's just the nature of life in this world. Things get old, tired, and stale and then fade away. If you want a bad marriage, just go with the flow of the world. But if you want a good marriage, you're going to have to plan it. You're going to have to go against the flow of the world, time, the flesh, and your own ego. You're going to have to plan to extend yourself, to work at it and hang in there when you don't feel like hanging in there. You're going to have to choose to love your spouse and keep loving them, to bless them when you don't feel like blessing them. You don't have to plan a bad marriage, but you will have to plan, choose to work at, persevere, commit, and sacrifice if you want a good one.
    From Message #83 - Purpose Forgotten

    Today's Mission
    Today, choose to work at blessing and keeping the relationships that the Lord has given you.

    Scripture: Isaiah 32:8

    Rabbi Jonathan Cahn
