God's Gift to Men

I'm referring to God's gift to your man, specifically.

Guess what it is?

YOU!

Before you start walking around all puffed up and self-centered treating your man like he's so lucky that he ever got you, let me explain.

The Lord God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him. 
Genesis 2:18 

An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels.
Proverbs 31:10

He who finds a wife finds a good things and obtains favor from the Lord.
Proverbs 18:22

House and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the Lord.  
Proverbs 19:14

You: imperfect, maybe-not-as-thin-as-you-want, sometimes crazy, often not even understanding yourself, are a gift from God to your husband.

Let that sink in.

God loves you so much already, but he also loves your husband. Sometimes that's easy to forget when you are in the heat of an argument or the drudgery of everyday life. He loves your husband so much that he decided he needed help. When you married your husband, you became a vehicle of love. You ARE the Lord's favor when it comes to your husband's life!!

You are like a spoon in a bowl of God's love. Your husband could just stick his face in the bowl and get it himself, but how much better is it that you get to deliver the most incredible love there is!

It is easy to remember that he is intimately loved by God when he is:

• cute
• flirting with you
• doing dishes
• doing any chores
• standing up for you
• etc, etc.

It is NOT as easy to remember that he is a son of the kingdom when he is:

• arguing with you
• sitting on the couch while you do chores
• being rude
• arguing with you

Here's the thing: He will always be a child of God. God will never stop loving him, and that takes some of the pressure off of you. I don't know about you, but thinking that I am totally responsible for providing all the love my husband needs 24/7 is daunting at the least. Realizing that I just have to let the Lord work through me is so comforting. I'm just a delivery girl, not the producer.

No one has seen God, but if we love one another, God lives in us and His Love is made complete in us. 
1 John 4:12
