How does is make you feel to know that God has designated you as the primary instrument to reflect His love for your spouse? That is a great responsibility, and I pray that I can, and do reflect His love for my spouse. My husband is a wonderful man, and a great husband. He loves the Lord, and believes in Him. He has been saved and baptized. He use to love going to church, but then he changed. He had no interest in going to church at all. He did not want me going either. Of course, this was not a good time for our marriage. I tried to talk to him about it, but he would totally shut down on me. It really hurt me to see him this way, I was very worried about him. I prayed for him non-stop. Well recently, he finally opened his heart up to me. He explained to me what had made him change. I have several health problems, and I am not well quite often. He always takes such good care of me, and watches over me. But, he worries constantly about me. He said it hurt him that God would not answer his prayers concerning me. He said that he talked to God all the time, asking Him to please heal me, and let me be well. But, he said, instead, you suffer more and more. He said, why should I pray, God is not listening. So, I proceeded to tell him that God does hear his every prayer, and that God loves him so very much. I said, God may not answer your prayer when you want Him to, or how you want Him to, but I promise He does answer your prayers. I said, God never leaves me, or forsakes me. He hurts and suffers right along with me. He gives me strength to get better. When I am weak, He is strong for me. My husband said, I understand now, I really do. He is now back to praying, and wants to get back in church. We are going to start going to church with my dad. God is so awesome. Remember, our husbands are watching us, and seeing how much faith we have. Let your light shine brightly, never grow dim.
