1 Peter 3:7New International Version (NIV)
7 Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.
----
Some reflections that should make you (a legacy dad) reflect
- "you mean, if I disrespect my wife, God won't answer my prayers?"
- "you mean, if I am not considerate with my wife, God won't answer my prayers?"
- "you mean, some actions that I take that do not honor God's will for my life, my hinder my prayers?"
If there is something in your life right now (if you are a legacy dad, or for that matter a legacy mom, who is reading this entry) then change that behavior right now! Ask God to forgive you for doing it your way and not His way and submit to His will for your life.
If there is a root of bitterness in your life or your spouses life, confess that to God (don't condemn the spouse and say that you are righteous and you are holy and tell them how to live) Change the way that you react, you disrespect and you life and follow God's ways: Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness and self-control - these are the fruit of the Spirit and let God and let go of self promotion.
If you are, however, doing these things that God calls us to do, then bless you my brother (and my sister). For God so loves you!
Happy Friday!
Blessings,
Dante
