Today I honored my husband with a note to God. Prior to Bryan and me meeting, I had a dear friend tell me I needed to write a letter to God about the kind of man I wanted to marry. At the time, I was very focused on my career and not really concerned about getting married. She kept prodding me so finally I did it. I wrote the letter, filed it away and forgot about it. Well, as the Lord would have it, three months later I met Bryan and three months after that the Lord reminded me of what I had written. To my surprise, everything I had written described Bryan to a tea and to make a long story short, I will just say, and the rest is history.
Today, in honoring my husband with a note to God, I am calling on the Lord with intentionality about my request. Yesterday my husband shared with me a very good friend of his had gotten a divorce because his wife no longer wanted to be married. He was shocked, disappointed and saddened by this news. As he put it, "I don't know of a nicer guy." He began to share how he has received such news of late about several friends and associates and I could see in his eyes how it impacted him. Since starting this blog, I too have been surprised and saddened by the number of times I have heard I can't do that, I don't even like my husband. Fortunately, I have received just as many or even more emails and calls from women excited about the opportunity to honor their husbands.
Today, I honor my husband with a note to God on his behalf. A note to God asking that he would bless those marriages that are struggling today, asking that he would heal those hearts that are heavy, asking that if anyone that reads this post and feels they are on the path to divorce, that they have a change of heart or at least reconsider the possibilities, or if anyone is experiencing a distance in their relationship that the Lord will bring back the intimacy, life and love to their relationship. Today, I honor my husband with a note to God on his behalf because I know how sad and burdened he was by the news on yesterday, because I know he was thinking the only thing to do is to call on the name of the Lord, because he wishes nothing but happiness for those close to him that are experiencing sadness in their marriage and because the Lord says when two are gathered, agree and call upon the name of the Lord, it shall be done.
I love the song below by Chanice, called Note to God. When placed in the context of marriage, I think it is very fitting of what so many may want but just may not know how to ask. Wives of the world, how can you honor your husband with a note to God? What would your request be? What would you say on behalf of your husband to honor him and his spirit?
