What Is Your Will In Christ?

Lord, there is no choice to a knowing heart but to be deeply thankful to you every day. The greatness of your character makes provision to give us life at every moment. But on this day of particular expression, we your children, long to simply thank you with an even louder voice ... for the great and awesome person that you choose to be ... and for the power of your mercy and favor. Your great patience and mercy make provision for us to exist every moment and your great love allows us to walk in the garden of your grace and favor even though we're found undeserving.

Part 1. The Marriage Mirror 2 Corinthians 11:2 NLT "I am jealous for you with the jealousy of God himself. For I promised you as a pure bride to one husband, Christ." Not surprisingly, I wasn't able to find a definition of marriage in either the Mariam Webster or Wikipedia dictionaries that even remotely defined what I consider to be an accurate description of what occurs in a true marriage centered on Christ. So, I offer my own humbly with the hope that it meets with agreement in the Christian heart: Marriage: The joining of two hearts, spirits and bodies in a conjoined effort as one to replicate the perfect relationship of Christ, the Bridegroom to His Bride - His Church Our God in His infinite mercy, wisdom and great love has given us the perfect example of what the perfect marriage partner looks like and must be in the life and teachings of the Bridegroom, our Lord and Savior. Who waits now for His Bride to answer Him, Not only by reflecting ba...
