Day 22- 30 Day Husband Encouragement Challenge


But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." (Matthew 6:33)
If we are living in light of eternity, everything we think, do, or say is seen from an eternal perspective. We will someday give an account for our failure to speak words of love and encouragement. Determine today that your words will be sweet and helpful.
Does your husband have an eternal perspective that allows him to reject materialism and temporal values? Express your gratefulness for his value system, and praise him for putting eternal things before riches and other things of this world.
If this is a problem area for him, consider how you might alter your own value system and live for eternity in front of him, encouraging him to do the same. Only two things will last into eternity: the Word of God and people. Be sure that you are focusing on the right things.: I am so grateful that my husband is my help mate, not my hurt mate. He is very grateful for his job, and thanks God for it.He is happy to get a paycheck every week, but money is not his idol. He always tells me, he would not care if we did not have any money, and had to live under a bridge, he would have all he would ever need,me. I feel the same way about him.

Dear Denise,

I so enjoy your posts everyday and they are so inspirational. I love this part:

Be sure that you are focusing on the right things.: I am so grateful that my husband is my help mate, not my hurt mate. He is very grateful for his job, and thanks God for it.

It is so wonderful when we have husbands that love us like Jesus loved the Church.

Amen to your post.

Hugs,
