Be Mindful

Spring 2018

Be Mindful There are a lot of challenges going out for husbands, upcoming husbands, and want to get a husband. As we pray and seek God for these things are we as women being mindful to nurture the relationships with our mates. When we Pamela Bell are laying hands on or praying for our spouse and spouses to be, are we taking time out to turn the looking glass of love and life upon ourselves. Most of the time we as women are concerned with what we want God to give us in a husband and what we want God to do for us but are we preparing our minds, hearts, and bodies for him? We have to do conditioning through the word to prepare for our Boaz. For those women who have their Boaz an have not be doing the things that the Word calls for them we have to be reconditioned through the Word.

EZER Take time to study your role as a Ezer Kenegdo: to be his helper; his strength, his power. When you take out time to become that help meet and minister to your spouse mindfully, spiritually, and physically, you just don’t know how far that nurturing will take you. On the other hand do not be so involved in the church and the Pastor, that all your spouse (who you are trying to win for Christ) hears is I have to do this or that for that Pastor meanwhile you are neglecting him and your home but as soon as you get a call from the church you are off and haven’t gave a thought to taking care of the home. 1 Corinthians 7:14 says, “For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife: else were your children unclean but now they are holy.

So you see that even when you are mindful of your role as a spouse you will sanctify your husband and even your children shall be holy but if you do not you will bring about animosity. Your unsaved spouse will have animosity toward your Pastor. The word animosity means-a strong feeling of dislike or enmity towards a person. We need to walk in our roles as Godly spouses and humble ourselves and change if need be so we can push our men to the forefront; that they may shine and be the leaders that God would have them to be. Singles do not be in such a rush for a man but a Godly husband; that will love you as Christ loved the church and gave his life for it. Stop looking at the outward appearance, something pleasing to the eye but look to the heart. Have you counted the cost on your behalf? Do you have what it takes at this time to be a wife? Can you handle some of the challenges that will arise? Because challenges will come and if you are selfish right now think again before you take on a mate.Be mindful to always keep the lines of communication oen and keep God as the HEAD and you can conquer anything as a couple. Last but not least hopefully when your significant other thinks of you, this poem comes to mind.

“She was beautiful but not like those girls in the magazine. She was beautiful for the way she thought. She was beautiful for that sparkle in her eyes when she talked about something she loved. She was beautiful for her ability to make other people smile even when she was sad. No she wasn’t beautiful for something as temporary as looks. She was beautiful, deep down in her soul.” —Author unknown !15
