Preparation is a process of change towards a targeted end and not a waiting in the sense of being stuck at a location. This is why the path of the just is (should be and must be) like a shinning sun, that shines even unto the perfect day (Pro 4:18).

A very poor man lived with his wife whose hair was so long it touched her waist. One day the wife asked her husband to buy her a comb for her long hair so that it can continue to grow well and to be well groomed. The man felt sorry and said he didnt have money even to fix the strap of his watch which had just broken.
The wife did not insist. On his way to work the man passed by a watch shop, sold his damaged watch at a low price and went to buy a comb for his wife.
He came back home in the evening with a comb in his hand ready to give to his wife. He was surprised to see his wife with very short hair. She had cut and sold her hair and bought a brand new watch for her husband.
Tears flowed simultaneously from their eyes, not for the futility of their actions, but for the reciprocity of their love.
Love is when the other person’s happiness is more important than your own. Give love and show love where it matters and let it be the God centered love.
How great our marriages will if only we as couples can out do each other in love and sacrifice. How awesome it will be that we each wake up thinking of what to do to make each other happy. Selfishness must not be allowed.
May your marriage receive fresh grace at each passing day.
Husbands, go all out in your love for your wives…
Ephesians 5:25 MSG
After many years of marriage, John decided to divorce his wife.
The reasons he gave his counselor were: ‘She’s not attractive, she’s not interesting, she’s overweight, and she’s a poor housekeeper.’
So the counselor gave him this suggestion: ‘Starting today, I want you to go home and treat your wife like a goddess.
Start doing everything in your power to please her. Listen intently when she talks about her problems.
Help around the house, and take her out to dinner at the weekend. I want you to literally pretend that she’s a goddess. Then after two months of this wonderful new behaviour, pack your bags and leave. That should get her attention!’
John agreed it was a great idea, and decided to implement it. He took his wife away on romantic weekends and read poetry to her every night.
After two months the counselor called and asked, ‘John, did you file for divorce? Are you looking forward to being a bachelor again?’
John replied, ‘Are you kidding? I’m married to a goddess. I’ve never been happier in my life. I’d never leave my wife in a million years.
In fact, I’m discovering new, wonderful things about her every single day.
Divorce? Not on your life!’ The Bible says, ‘…A man reaps what he sows’ (Galatians 6:7 NIV).
And when John changed his strategy and started sowing seeds of love, he reaped a marriage he never dreamed possible.
Do you think this same strategy might possibly work for you? What’ve you got to lose?
Give it a try and see what happens. Chances are you and your spouse will love the results.

If you would learn to look away from the effects that the past has put on you, to consider where God is taking you, extraordinary things can happen
It is true that the experience from the past could leave someone with scars. Some of the scars can be listed as unhealthy self image and inadequacy.
Inadequacy is the state or quality of being inadequate or lacking the quality that is required; it also means inability to deal with a situation or with life. Inadequacy keeps people stuck in the rut of the past without being able to move forward.
Never ever insist on being inadequate with God
The high calling of God upon your life is more than whatever you have been through. You cannot afford to allow the experience from the past to affect it.
With God, where you are coming from and its scars on you cannot be as important as where you are going.
If you would learn to look away from the effects that the past has put on you, to consider where God is taking you, extraordinary things can happen.
There were too many ‘who am I’ in the scriptures. You can also see what God did with David, Gideon, and Saul among many others.
The importance placed on where you are headed is the reason why God formed you and why He is dealing with you.
