Let Love Become Your Foundation.

When you surrender your marriage to God, every aspect of your marriage belongs to Him. Let the fruit of your marriage reflect the Heart and Character of God, both in private and in public. Choose to surrender to the True and Living King, and let your marriage reflect Christ in every season of your life.

When you choose to meditate on the hurt, pain, and the offense of the past, bitterness will linger within the borders of your house and it will harden the soil of your heart. Choose to forgive. Choose to create an environment of peace. Choose to create an environment of forgiveness. Choose to create an environment of love.

Bitterness Blocks Breakthrough.

When bitterness and offense pollutes the ground of your marriage, it serves as a hindrance that blocks the flow of God’s Peace from thriving within its borders. When bitterness settles within the heart of your home, it blocks the flow of good, constant, and Godly communication between you and your spouse.

Bitterness will pervert your marital covenant. Bitterness will harden your heart and block effective communication. Bitterness blocks breakthrough and limits your relationship’s potential. Bitterness will keep you enslaved to the offense or transgression of the past. Choose to forgive and keep moving forward.

Forgive Freely. Choose to forgive frequently. When you forgive your spouse, it will release you from the bondage of the past. Forgiveness establishes the atmosphere for breakthrough.

When the ground of your heart is cleansed from the bondage, pain, hurt, and offense of the past, your marriage is able to heal and function as God intended. Walk in love and let God rewrite your marriage.

“And walk in love, [esteeming and delighting in one another] as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us, a slain offering and sacrifice to God [for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance.”Ephesians 5:2 AMPC

Love sends up a sweet fragrance to God. Forgiveness has a fragrance. Selflessness has a fragrance. What’s the fragrance of your marriage? Marriage is selfless. A Godly marriage sends up a sweet fragrance to God that’s pleasing to Him. Choose to reflect His Love and Character in every aspect of your life. Choose to pattern the heart and character of your marriage after Christ.

Ephesians 5:2 NLT declares, “Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God.” Let God rewrite every aspect of your marriage. Surrender your heart to God and let Him breathe into the very heart and foundation of your family.
