Are your spouses expectations killing you? -Sept 28

Much that you must accept in life is not to be accepted as being necessary for you personally,
but to set an example to save and to share in the suffereings and difficuties of others.

He saved others, Himself He cannot save.

My path has tender lights and restful shades that no other walk in life can give.
that your joy might be full.
Loving and being loved,
being connected, valued, befriended, cherished by another is a compelling need that permeates the life of every human being on God's earth.   Yet how are such relationship to come about?

Sometimes we get do overs!
Jesus demonstrated friendship by being available, compassionate, self sacrificing and tender.
He called them to accountability.
He rebuked them when they were wrong.
But when He finished they still felt cherished by Him.
We do not need to set out in search of a friend, we just need to model Jesus.
Anticipating the needs of others, wearing ourselves out at giving.

Marriage.
Two people when they get married their expectations of each other can kill them.
Direct your expectations for meeting your needs to God.
He often involves others in ministering to human needs.
Expecting God to meet needs in accordance with His word will prompt a faith that He can work through others.
Begin to "faith" your needs to God and give to each other. -intimate moments

Lord help us to trust You to provide for us in our marriage.
