Be Gentle with your Spouse


Be Gentle with your Spouse

How often do you react instead of responding with love to your spouse? We can find ourselves behaving better towards others than the very person who means the world to us. What does God say about this? He tells us to interact with one another with a humble and gentle approach. God says to use our patience. He wants us to be conscious that the person right in front of us is the one we truly love--this person is who we chose to marry. Our life partner. Our best friend. Our one and only. Our person. We need to address one another with the same enthusiasm as we had the day we married. God goes further to instruct us to have a willing heart to protect and nurture a bond of peace. In other words, stop fighting over silliness and pettty junk. It's just not worth it.
Today, show your spouse the extra care they deserve from you. Make the effort to approach them with love and respect, with a humble heart. No matter what their mood or actions are. Change begins with you.
"With all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace."--Ephesians 4:2-3



We are better together.
Have a blessed day, Kimala DeSena

30 Day Self Care Challenge: Day TWENTY-NINE

  30 Days of Self Care:  Day Twenty-Nine Emotional Self Care Emotional self care happens when we identify our feelings, allow ourselves to sit with them a while, then do something that will either support these feelings as you lean into them or exchange them for new feelings or emotions. For some moments, you will resonate with your emotions; while other times you may want to escape or avoid them. Learning to trust yourself in working through your feelings is possible. In this life, we will indeed make mistakes, but the magic happens when we walk through our scenarios, growing and maturing because of them. Sometimes, we envision ourselves doing the same things that seem to work for us, but there may be moments where you would like to envision something different. You may decide that you would like to equip yourself with a new toolset to prepare yourself when things go sideways or perhaps when you need a good dose of encouragement when things become sticky or  problematic.

Who Does God Say That I am? Day ONE: I am LOVED.

  SPIRITUAL SELF CARE Can you say this again please, in my good ear? I am loved. Truly loved. Deeply loved. Always and forever loved. Better yet, I am loved by my Creator. The one who I can call Abba, Father, God, Jehovah, Savior, Lord, Prince of Peace, Wonderful Counselor, Ruler over All, Alpha and Omega, Light of the World, Good Shepherd, King of Kings, Author and Finisher, Emmanuel, Adonai, Christos, El Shaddai, Elohim, Yahweh, and more. You tell me that I am loved. PRAYER Lord, thank you for creating me. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for handing over your son to this world to save us a place in eternity with you. I am grateful. I am refreshed today with this biblical truth, that no matter what happens today and forward, no matter who comes in and out of my life, no matter what, I will march forward, no skip gleefully forward, knowing how much I am truly loved by you. Thank you Father. Thank you for this knowledge. Today, I recommit my life to you by simply knowing that I am lo
