When he keeps his eyes for me

Woman, if only you could experience your man keeping his eyes for only you, despite another’s immodest dress! What indescribable depths of love and trust and sense of your own worth resound in your heart!

Man, if only you knew, you would never again look at another woman with lust.

Work with God

If you are working on a project with a group of people, and then they, without consulting you, drop you from the project, complete it and publish it, how do you feel? How much more so is God affected by you dropping Him from your life?

Correct your faults

If you think that what you do is “just my personality,” consider: is this a trait that could have been found in Jesus? For He too was human and had a human personality.  If the answer is no, then it is not your personality but vice.  Ask Him to remove it. People do not see Christ in you through your faults!

Be identified with Christ

Peter denied Jesus three times, but note that he was identified as being with Christ! That in itself is a beautiful sign of his desire to follow Jesus.  He failed in love, in self-sacrifice, but at least he loved to the point where he would be called upon!  And Christ invokes love to redeem and reconcile him to Himself, teaching him that is is love that will give him the strength in the future to follow more faithfully. Be identified with Christ.  You will fail at following Christ in perfect love, but at least you will be called upon, and some day you, like Peter, will be crucified for love of Him.

Become Christlike that you may be one

Two human souls are incommunicable. Yet, Christ has set for man and woman the goal of perfect union with each other and God. In striving to bring each other toward perfect divine union with God, each becomes more and more like Christ.  The deeper husband and wife know Christ, and the better they fulfill their vocations to transform each other into another Christ, the more perfect their knowledge, understanding, and therefore union.

Married marvel

When the husband marvels at his wife and relishes her beauty, it is Jesus Himself who is delighting in His priceless treasure that He placed within her body-soul. 

You do not understand much

You have worries? Fears? Questions? You do not understand much.  This is normal.  Accept that you are not God.  Trust in Jesus.
