Chapter 56 – Engaged
“I have made a covenant with my eyes; How then could I gaze at a virgin? — Job 31:1
How can a young man keep his way pure? By keeping it according to Your word. — Psalm 119:9
Your word I have treasured in my heart, That I may not sin against You. — Psalm 119:11
I don't know, maybe in most Christian weddings, the ceremonial “you may kiss the bride” wasn't their first kiss at all. If you're a Christian guy and also for the gals reading this thing, look at those verses above and take some time to embrace the book of Romans. I know the struggle is real, but God's mercy is new every morning.
Now you're thinking, why does the title don't have a relation to the opening part, well that's life. Gusto ko ng click bait!
Leveling up in life (Christian life) takes a lot of courage and time , and your spiritual life is tested too, always naman. I'm not an expert on these things, but I'll just throw some quick words. Parang car crash videos lang, sa isang iglap...life changing sya “ano tong pinanood ko?”
Be Founded In Christ
The sweet and landian moments are given, but if you're a Christian couple who love God the most. Take time to be rooted in Him individually & together. I won't elaborate pero dapat given na din yung: pray together, read the Bible together, do a devotion together, and it's the men who must lead these things.
I know, guys love physical stuff (mga kamay na hindi alam saan patungo) pero kamusta naman kung hatakin ka ni Satanas sa kadiliman at wala kang panlaban? Maski yung babad sa Bible nadadale boi, matindi ang laban sa part na ito, eh paano yung hindi?
Stand Beautifully
Once founded, then you can stand together beautifully. Easier said than done. Relationships takes time to build parang mga projects ng SMC, SMDC, at DMCI etc. Our relationships can stand on our own, but those founded in God are beautiful and sweet and maybe sour? Syempre if magtagal masasabi mo pa din may asim pa kayo, lol.
For His Glory
You stand together beautiful for His glory alone. The chief end of man is to enjoy God forever. Well for a couple who devoted their relationship to the Author, the goal is not just having kids, a house, a car, travel the universe, etc. It is to glorify the Author of life and the love that they have and proclaim who He is in their life.
We love, because He first loved us. — 1 John 4:19
