There’s a story about a man who had
been under a curse for 20 years. He walked for miles and climbed a mountain
to find a guru who could free him. When he reached the top, the guru asked,
“Why have you come?” He said, “I need for you to remove a curse that was placed
on me.”
The guru said, “I can remove the curse,
but I must know the exact words that were used to put the curse on you.
What were they?” The man answered, “The words were, ‘I now pronounce you
husband and wife.’”
Every couple at their own wedding
believed they would have a wonderful marriage when they stood at the altar.
Otherwise, they would have never married. No one plans to have a miserable
marriage, but it can turn that way if you don’t work at it. Ask yourself,
“What is it like being married to me?”
Your marriage doesn’t have to be cursed. In fact, God
wants to put His blessing on it. Unfortunately, many marriages are experiencing
more cursing than blessing because two bosses are married to each other. They
keep trying to change the mind of their spouse, telling each other what to do.
Marriage can either be heaven on
earth or hell on earth. The more that GOD is in it, the more it is like
HEAVEN. The more that SATAN is in it, the more it is like HELL. The best marriage is when two
servants are
married to each other. The worst marriage is when two bosses are married to each other.
The Lord can bless any marriage if a
husband and wife are willing to change their attitudes and become servants
of each other. Jesus said, “Whoever desires to become great among you, let
him be your servant” (Matt. 20:26). One servant is great, but two servants
will make a great marriage that God will bless.
God can remove the curse on your marriage and turn it into a marriage made in heaven if you will let Him do it. “The Lord your God turned the curse into a blessing for you because the Lord your God loves you” (Deut. 23:5). www.makinglifecount.net
