TILL DEATH US DO PART
by Hidden Remnant
To my beloved husband;
Previously...
I know many of you expect me to say, I am a virtues woman. Since numerous this days calls themselves names from the bible eventhough the truth is they are not.
And the truth is not in them.
Peoples actions is the opposite from their words, and what comes out of their mouth. They are not who you think they are. But they are someone who created them "SELF".
In who they want to be called, what they want to be perceive, who they want to be and the image they "TRY" to portray in the eyes of the public.
Hence I understand the power in speaking life, for power lies in the tounges. But I also know the importance of being true to yourself.
For I am different.
Id rather tell the truth, and speak who I am, than to claim something I am not.
For many are self proclaimers and self portrayers of who they are not in Christ.
But I am not one.
For me, I consider a proverbs 31 woman someone who is perfect in all sides. With no blemish, no wrinkles and no wrongs.
A woman who loves her husband and family. For she is worth more than rubies.
Proverbs 31:10-31
10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
14 She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
The truth is I am far from being a proverbs 31 woman. I don't consider myself one. Infact I am waaay off. đ
I don't consider myself better than any other woman out there. Nor I ever thought of myself to be a perfect wife.
For when I was in the world, I took my husband forgranted. And why we started to have issues with our marriage. As I completely forgot about my marriage vows.
I abandoned and forgotten my marriage, when I started to follow the Lord.
I spend all my years serving, but one thing was missing and that was serving my husband. I did not submit to him as a wife, and failed him miserably.
Didn't the bible commanded wives to submit to our husbands?
I live my life to serve God, and His people faithfully but not my husband. And that was my mistakes. I fail to recall that I too have a ministry to tend to at home.
And that is my first ministry... my home, and my family.
Until Abba Father made me to realized, then that is when I repented of all my sins, for disregarding my marriage.
On the day I got married, I made a vow to my husband, and to the Holy Father.
"I, take thee, to be my wedded husband, to have, and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness, and in health, to love, and to cherish, till death do us part, according to God's holy ordinance; and thereto I pledge thee my faith."
But somehow I neglected this vow over the years. And have failed to do my part as a wife.
And now that I am aware, due to this I am trying to make every effort, in doing what I can to make it up to him. For all those years I failed as a wife.
On account of this, I never considered myself a proverbs 31 woman, nor I look at myself to be better than any other women.
The only thing is, I refused to give up. I refused to stay down, and I refused to surrender. I refused to be remembered for my failures, and past mistakes. And why this days I am doing my best to be a better wife, and a better partner.
After all women, are created as helpers. We are to help and support our husband in all sides of life. We are to always be there for them, to love them, to care for them, and to show them the support that they need rain or shine, ups or down.
A helper is an extra hand. A comforter.
Thou, I will not always be perfect, and will never be, but I will always try to do my best to serve my husband with excellence.
To do my part as a wife, to be a better wife, to have and to hold from this day forward,
(FOR BETTER,)(FOR WORST,)(FOR RICHER,) (FOR POORER,) IN (SICKNESS and IN HEALTH,) TO (LOVE and TO CHERISH,)
Till death us do part. đ
Happy Anniversary to us.
Yours Truly,
Your Wife.
