NO LONGER SLAVES

‘My’ Perfect husband should literally live for me, shouldn’t blink as I whine about an annoying colleague, should perceive my crappy days, help around the house, by making dinner especially now that am in school, he must ensure am forever in the seventh heaven. For the better part of 2016, I criticized, I complained, my husband of choice as he did not match up to my Mr. Perfect. I tried cloning him, he proved impossible, I presented him to the heavens, the heavens were quiet, I got really cheesed off.

It is for Freedom that Jesus set us free, we are no longer slaves to bondage; we are free from ideals, free from ourselves, free from perfection, In the Lord we find our being, our confidence and validation. God delivered the Israelites from Babylon, and puts it in King Cyrus’ heart the will to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem, that the Sons of Jacob may worship their God in Freedom, that they may find Him who called and made them a People.

We must find us in Him first, we must lay us at the cross, take up His Yoke, quit trying to reach perfection, and understand that all He wants is our broken Hearts.

If we drink from Him, from our hearts shall flow rivers of everlasting waters, rivers of life, then we shall serve our husbands, children, family and society as Christ intended, we will quit defining Submission and Love in the light of modernity and intellect and the Lord Himself shall instruct and teach us on this things. We will also quit changing ourselves, changing our husbands and children because the Holy Spirit, who gives life shall give life to these our mortal bodies and we shall confidently say that we are serving the Lord with our households.

On His shoulders, we are free to love, free to be us, to be Wives, to be Mothers. In 2017, I shall love Bae freely, by Grace as the Lord leads me.
