Experiencing God

God has me on a wonderful journey with Him and I hope you are too. If you don't know Him, if you fear Him, or want to know more about Him. Spend time with Him, ask God questions, and allow Him to show Himself to you. It is worth your time.
I didn't know exactly how much God loved me/loves me. I have been working on a study "Experiencing God" with my church. Because of this my relationship with God has gotten deeper. I have learned to ask questions differently, look for and ask God how He wants me to respond to what I have learned, and I look at people and situations differently. I can honestly say I have grown up a little. I am not being vein. The bible says that we grow up from milk to meat.
I recognized that God has had a calling on my life since I was created. I was just to eager to get out the door and do my own thing to recognize it when I was young.
Now, I do believe that the Lord wants to use me to show just how powerful He can work through an ordinary life like mine.  I surrender with my whole heart and mind to God; my life belongs to Him.
Much of my life I searched for love in all the wrong places and spaces. Looking back now, I know that God has been with me the whole time I was on the wide road. But now, now I know God is working in my life. He is giving me direction to fulfill His purpose for my life. He has given me a life partner to grow with, experience God together, and to discover new things in life with.
I like the movie "Fiddler on the Roof." The town has a match maker who pairs couples up, she's pretty good with what she does, but there was a girl who didn't want to be paired up with whom she set her up with. Love came into the mix of things.  There is no other match maker like God the Father; the God of love. He put Adam and Eve together, Mary and Joseph, as well as Elizabeth and Zachariah. From the beginning God had a plan to use their lives as one to accomplish His great plans. God gave them a life partner with a unique calling on their lives. The spouses worked together as one to accomplish His purposes and be glorified in it.
I have learned that marriage is not just a human contract or signed piece of paper, but a covenant, a spiritual contract, a tie that binds you with God. If it is not of God, it's not going to prosper. It can with prayer and Christ Jesus; be encouraged.
I can say that I am learning to compromise, but not give in. Rodney and I recognize that we are hearing from God and experiencing Him in our discussions, desires, and daily walk. We are very excited about the love we have for one another. It's not this immature, lost my mind, gotta get what I can from the other type of love. It's a true caring and deeply moved emotion. We have talked about how God has matched us and how life is falling into place for us as a couple. We regularly pray for and with one another, we ask questions about our beliefs and the bible, and we give to each other.
I love the Lord more and He knows this, as Rodney loves the Lord more than me. We want it this way. We know who to turn to when life gets rough, and there are holes in the other.
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. All we, Rodney and I, want to do is share it with others together.
Marriage is God joining a man and a woman together to create unity to accomplish His purpose.
Matthew 19:4-6
And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’'⁵ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? ⁶ So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”



Isn't God good?
