ONLY HIM

ONLY HIM

The story is told of an elderly woman whose memory was starting to fail her. Over the years she had read and studied the Bible so much that she knew many passages by heart. One of her favorites was from Paul’s second letter to Timothy, which included the verse, “I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him.” As long as she held onto Jesus, He would not fail her.

As time went by, she found that she could no longer remember the whole verse—only the phrase “what I have committed to Him,” which she quietly repeated to herself.

Then at last, as she hovered between this world and the next, the attending doctor noticed her lips moving and bent down to see if she needed anything. She was repeating over and over the one word of the text she remembered. “Him. … Him. … Him.” She had lost the whole Bible except that one word, but in that one word she had the whole Bible and her faith intact.

There is a wonderful place of peace that we too can reach if we can concentrate solely on Jesus. Find a quiet, comfortable spot and try this spiritual exercise:

Close your eyes. Imagine Jesus bending over you like the doctor in the story above. He is listening to your faintest whispers. Now say His name. Slowly repeat it several times. He is there with you, and He is all you care about. This is not the time for a lengthy prayer listing your problems and needs and describing them in detail. It’s a time of simple trust, as you focus your attention on Jesus and Him alone. In these moments you can discover the truth of the Bible promise, “You [Jesus] will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.”

Who is a Good Husband

Who is a Good Husband?

The best answer to this question lies in the mouth of the woman... And the determinant of the answer lies in the decision of the woman too. I just discovered every man is a product of women decision maritally... Oh yes!! No man can force a woman to marry him; and for marriage to happen somebody said "YES" and the person that says yes must be ready to take the responsibility of whatever goes wrong... 

 

You are saying yes to someone whom you have really considered to be okay for your choice not a stranger. It's unfortunate that many women are blinded by material things and allow the material to influence their decision.... And, tomorrow she will be wailing and complaining here and there...  You must have weighed him in character, caring, and maturity wise to avoid story that touches the heart before deciding to say yes; hence meeting up to your standard. Every man is at the mercy of every woman decisions, therefore to have a good husband is the duty and 100% responsibility of the woman. 

 

You choose who you want and if you are sincere to yourself  should know what your life want and shouldn't compromise. We have many type of men possessing different characters.. Riche men but very bad character. Rich men with good sense of reasoning but women beater. Rich men, good looking, but too stingy. Poor men but wonderful character and caring spirit.  hardworking men with good character but too ugly. Etc.. 

 

Your decision therefore will be according to what your life desires . The point is this and clear, you decide who to marry and whom you married determine what you want ...don't come tomorrow to complain. We have good men but empty pockets but not hopeless. Make your choice wisely..
