dating / marriage: no matter where she’s at, what she says or what she does, the Gospel is still truth for me. And it’s only living from that place that I’ll produce the highest fruit or I’ll just be another frustrated, exasperated, tried, trying to be patient boyfriend / spouse instead of like Christ.

Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.

-James 1:12

God, I love You and want to keep You first in my life. Show me how to better prioritize You and not take You for granted. Thank You for being with me and giving me strength. Free my heart from selfish motives as I choose to focus on You. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 🙏🏻
