When God Speaks

I just have to post this message because the Lord will use anything to speak to you. This week, two of my friends, Amy and Corrine, both emailed me and told me about a radio broadcast on a Christian radio station in town with Nancy Leigh DeMoss. She was doing a series on the Titus 2 Woman. I had never tuned into this broadcast before. But I thought if out of nowhere two people told me about it then it was a sign from God to have me tuned in. Of course arranging my baby's feeding schedule around the radio program is a different story. But I was able to read the transcript on line and thought I would share some of the key points that God used to speak personally to me. This particular day she was talking about Letting God Shape Your Husband:

"Regardless of what his sins or failures remember that it is no less a sin on your part to respond to his failures in a critical or harsh or unloving way."

"It can be dangerous trying to sculpt a creation that is not yours to shape."

"If you don't expect perfection in the creature, then you're not going to be disappointed when you find less than perfection."

"It's your job to love your husband. It's God's job to change him."

"Not to make a big deal of the little things that you'd like to change. But make a big deal out of little things-so called "little things" that are positive qualities. Make a big deal about those."

"The best marriage is nothing more than two sinners continually humbling themselves and knowing how to get to the cross and find the grace of God. The best marriage does not come easily and does not happen apart from the cross."

FYI, this is the link to the website if anyone is interested in tuning in. The program comes on M-F at 9:30AM on KHCB (105.7 FM) : http://www.reviveourhearts.com/
