Song of Solomon 8:6
6 Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm. For love is as strong as death.
Ruth 1:16-17
16 But Ruth said, "Don't beg me to leave you or to stop following you. Where you go, I will go. Where you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God.17 And where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. I ask the Lord to punish me terribly if I do not keep this promise: Not even death will separate us."
What amazing families and marriages we would have if our society made this level of commitment to God and to their husbands/wives on their wedding day. WOW. What a different place this would be. Everything changes when we do things the way God designed them to be done. He designed this institution this way to bring us joy and comfort and support and protection, and to keep us from overwhelming hurt and pain and anger. I have seen the blessings flood over my life in the situations where I have changed my path and got onto His. WHAT A HUGE DIFFERENCE. I look forward to taking His path down the road of Commitment. I look forward to what that will mean in my life and in my family. I am sure it is something I cannot yet fathom. But I do know that changing my ways to His ways on this road that I am currently on has been a blessing bigger than I could have ever dreamed. It is like night and day. Coming out of the pitch black darkness into the warm sunlight. God has been faithful to me. I will be faithful to Him and to my sweetheart...always, without end. The verses above say it all. That will be the legacy I will leave behind...love and unwavering commitment. Wow, so beautiful.

It all begins when the "true relationship" is established. That is why we must tell those who do not have that relationship, about it. They live in darkness, total darkness, without Him. He uses us, and the stark difference between their world and ours, to reach their eternal souls. But we must do more than shine, we must reach out. Thank you for doing that!
