TRUTH ABOUT OUR MARRIAGE AFTER 41 YEARS OF MARRIAGE, I CAN SAY THAT THE SUCCESS OF OUR MARRIAGE LIES WITHIN THE GRACE OF GOD, & LEARNING TO LOVE EACH OTHER AS CHRIST LOVES BOTH OF US. BEHIND THE HOLDING OF HANDS AND THE SPONTANEOUS SMILES, IN OUR COVER PHOTO ABOVE,LIES A MERIED OF STRUGGLES, PAIN, SOMETIMES DESPAIR AND EVEN THOUGHTS OF DIVORCE IN OUR EARLIER YEARS. BUT GOD YES, WEVE BOTH BEEN VERY COMMITTED TO CHRIST THROUGH IT ALL AND TODAY WE CAN SAY THROUGH ALL THE STORMS,HE HAS CAUSED US TO WALK ON THE WATER, AND RISE ABOVE ALL TURBULENCE THAT LIED DEEP WITHIN OUR MARRIAGE. GODS PLAN FOR OUR MARRIAGES IS TO REFLECT HIS LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER, REPRESENTING CHRIST AND HIS CHURCH, WALKING IN HARMONY WITH ONE ANOTHER, WITH CHRIST IN THE CENTRE OF OUR LIVES. OUR EXCESS BAGGAGE OF DESTRUCTION CAUSED BY SIN HAS SLOWLY DISSIPATED, BY HIS GRACE,AND TODAY WE HOLD HANDS,SMILE AND REALIZE WE BOTH HAVE MADE MANY MISTAKES IN OUR MARRIAGE TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER,BUT FORGIVENESS,GODS LOVE,AND HIS FAITHFULNESS, HAS BROUGHT US TO A PLACE OF HARMONY WITHIN OUR SOULS, AS WE WAIT FOR OUR GROOM. BE ENCOURAGED, ALL WHO ARE IN THE PLACE OF STRUGGLING WITHIN YOUR MARRIAGES. TO QUOTE WINSTON CHURCHILL, IN THE TIME OF GREAT CRISIS IN ENGLAND, NEVER GIVE UP DONT EVER GIVE UP. YOU ARE ABLE TO CONQUER ALL THE HURRICANES WHEN EACH OF YOU TRUST GOD AND WILL BE VICTORIOUS NOW AND THROUGH ALL OF ETERNITY. THIS IS TO KNOW THE FREEDOM, THAT LOVE IS GREATER THAN ALL EVIL AND WE CAN OVERCOME ALL EVIL IN THOUGHTS OR DEEDS, BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB,BY THE WORD OF OUR TESTIMONY AND NOT LOVING OUR LIVES UNTO DEATH, AS WE PUT OUR SPOUSES IN THE PLACE OF HONOUR LOVING THEM MORE THAN OUR OWN DESIRES. WORDS FAIL ME, TO EXPRESS THE INTIMACY OF A MARRIAGE, THAT LIES WITHIN THE HEART OF BILL AND I AS WE HAVE CHOSEN THE WAYS OF THE LORD. LOVE IS ALWAYS,ALWAYS THE MORE EXCELLENT WAY. MAY GOD BRING A REVELATION OF HIS UNCONDITIONAL LOVE TO US THAT HE WILL BE GLORIFIED IN OUR MARRIAGES, FAR ABOVE WHAT WE COULD ASK OR THINK. TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOREVER AND EVER AMEN BILL AND DONNA BRAY
