Topic: Where it all begins [Tuesday June 9, 2015]
“In the beginning God created…”-Genesis 1:1
Some people think a successful marriage begins from the activities during courtship. Others think it’s from your relationship with the person when you first start dating. On the contrary, a successful marriage begins from your preparation as a single, before you ever get to know, meet or choose your marriage partner.
It begins with your mindset towards marriage; knowing what you want and what it takes to get it. It starts with your positive thoughts, which come from your discovery of what God has intended marriage to be from the Word of God. You know, your thought has a way of appearing in the physical. It controls what becomes of you. That is why the Bible admonishes that you guard your heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life (Proverbs 4:23).
I believe that before God created everything we see today, He had the perfect picture in His mind. That was why He could speak the Words to reality.His mind had produced it from the beginning. Truth is: your mind is able to bring to you everything that you need, just the way you want it; but you must think aright!
Therefore, if you want a peaceful, fun-filled and loving home, create that picture in your heart and let it guide your choices each day. Don’t cloud your mind with the evils you see elsewhere; comparing your home to that of others in the world who go through numerous challenges. Yours can be different; but first, if your mind is reoriented. It all begins in you and with you!
Remain Blessed!
