“God blessed them and said to them, ‘Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves
on the ground’” (Genesis 1:28)
Pastor Steve Muzio said, “Life is a battle and, unfortunately, in selfishness we make marriage yet another battleground instead of a holy alliance with a glorious purpose.”
God created me as one who could also “create.” As Joni pointed out, this ability is most evident when I “nurture good, produce righteousness, and cultivate beauty” in this world. What better place to begin such a marvelous mission than in my own family—next to my husband.
Lord, help my husband and I to be united in the mission you’ve give us to complete together. Drown out all selfishness or bitterness with the overflowing of your love and peace. Amen.
