Verse of the Day
for Friday February 24th, 2012
For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
We are different! God makes us male and female so we can be complements of each other. Each is made in God's image. God's intention is that a husband and wife find their primary human relationship with the other. They still honor their parents, but their home is with each other. Their two lives become one. In this context of lifetime security, they share in the intimate knowledge of each other sexually -- becoming "one flesh." This relationship is to be enjoyed (Proverbs 5), protected (1 Thessalonians 4:3-8), and celebrated (Song of Solomon) for life (Matthew 19:6).
Bible Verse Of The Day

__________________________
— Galatians 6:2-3 —
Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
__________________________
No Christian should ever think that he or she is totally independent and does not need help from others, and no one should feel excused from the task of helping others. The body of Christ — all believers — the church — functions only when the members work together for the common good. Do you know someone who needs help? Is there a Christian brother or sister who needs correction or encouragement? Humbly and gently reach out to that person.

My Prayer...
Holy and Almighty Father, please bless me with strength to live in today's sexually charged world with integrity and purity. Please use your Spirit and your Word to instruct, correct, and convict me as I seek to discover your truth for my relationships and celebrate your will for my sexuality. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
