Sleepy Tuesday

Today is day 25 of the Love Dare but I havent posted any entries because they havent applied to me.

Day 23: Remove anything that is hindering your relationship, any addiction or influence that’s stealing your affections and turning your heart away from your spouse



Day 24: End it now. Identify every object of lust in your life and remove it. Single out every lie you’ve swallowed in pursuing forbidden pleasure and reject it. Lust cannot be allowed to live in a back bedroom. It must be killed and destroyed—today—and replaced with the sure promises of God and a heart filled with His perfect love.



I have no addiction or influence stealing affections from my husband or marriage. I used to allow others to sway my thinking. But since last year I havent allowed those voices to make a difference in my behavior or way of thinking. I also have no hidden lust. I lust after my husband and the love, joy and comfort he can bring me by his precense and affection. I enjoy him SO much! However, day 25 DOES apply to me...



Love Dare: day 25

Whatever you haven’t forgiven in your mate, forgive it today. Let it go. Just as we ask Jesus to “forgive us our debts” each day, we must ask Him to help us “forgive our debtors” each day as well. Unforgiveness has been keeping you and your spouse in prison too long. Say from your heart, “I choose to forgive.”




2 Corinthians 2:10 (NIV)

What I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, I did it for your sakes in the presence of Christ.
