I'm transparent as glass. I believe that God always wants you healed, emotionally and physically because He is the most loving Father there is. No father even a bad one would want his child to be sick or traumatized, so how much more does our Heavenly Father want us to be healed and whole! Believe that you have received and you will have it.

Love and Restpect: Husbands, love your wives and wives respect your husbands. That means husbands should not be harsh with their wives because that is not very loving. This also means husbands should love their wives when they are unlovable. Wives should respect their husbands and not nag him or use sharp words with him because that is disrespectful to a man. A wife should respect her man even if he is not deserving it. It's the way God designed a marriage to love and respect. He build in to a woman to receive love and He built into a man to receive respect. It's how He made us.

This is how I envision a marriage to operate. We are not perfect, but He is and God will give us the ability to operate in a marriage as he designed it to be.

This brings us to the parallel between man and wife and the marriage of the Church to our groom, Jesus. As the bride of Christ, the church is to respect and love our groom, Jesus. We know already how much Christ loves us. He loves His bride, us with an everlasting deep love. He's coming back soon to get His bride, we just do not know exactly when. Are we ready for His return?
