Our Eyes Are On You

One day, the Moabites and Ammonites came to wage war against Jehoshaphat, the King of Judah.
King Jehoshaphat is good at knowing where to turn.
 
He went directly to the temple and prayed to God, the Creator of heaven and earth. At the end of his prayer, he said:
 
“We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.” (2 Chronicles 20:12b)
 
Amen!
 
Just like Jehoshaphat, I’m learning to fix my eyes on Jesus, the Pioneer and Perfecter of my faith (Hebrews 12:2). ///

A woman’s beauty and charm have a short shelf life. They expire before you even get a chance to introduce her to all your friends; families and co-workers.
 
But a woman’s internal beauty that only comes from the fear of God has no expiration date. It lives on!
 
So, before you let yourself fall in love, check the expiration date. ///

“I Let Go the Girl I love”

A4P Guest: I’m a 32 year-old married man. Before I got married, I was seeing one Christian girl. I was very much in love with her and all.

Then before I knew it, I began spending more time with this girl on Facebook than with my girlfriend. Then, to make a long story short, I lost interest in pursuing my girlfriend and continued my relationship virtually with my high school classmate and decided to marry her. At the time, she was living in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and I brought her here to the US. We are now expecting our first child. The problem is, to my surprise, I am realizing that I’m not actually in love with my wife but with my ex-girlfriend. I can’t stop myself from thinking about my ex. I can’t take her out of my mind. She is a strong Christian. While we were dating, she didn’t even let me touch her body let alone sleep with her. My wife, the first day she came from Addis Ababa, she was willing to sleep with me. We were not married. I felt guilty about it but she didn’t feel a thing. I constantly think about my ex-girlfriend’s devotion to Christ and sincere faith. She influenced my walk as a Christian.
