At a Price

At a price...
Good morning precious people. If you are in my part of the world, I hope you are having a restful day. May God's peace envelope your hearts in Jesus name. 

I have noticed that there is a price that has to be paid for anything of value...
If you have a good job, you must work hard at it to sustain it as well as get promoted
If you are doing well at school, you must be burning the midnight out
If you are an acclaimed author, expert at what you do, there must be something that you are doing that is making you stand out. Extra effort into writing, experiments or research...
Every one who becomes an authority in a particular field must have paid a price.

So also, when you get married and you want to have a happy and blissful home, you must be willing to pay the price. Before you compare your spouse with someone else, are you willing to pay the price those ones paid or pay regularly? To the man whose wife literarily worships him, do you know the price he pays; loving, providing, accommodating her weaknesses, encouraging, building up her skills,    helping her to actualize her potentials, providing "pocket money" regardless of her income etc For the wife who looks like she does not have a care in the world, whose husband dotes over, supports and runs to the end of the world for her...there is a price. Her price probably is in her show of respect, validation, encouragement, submission, obedience, collaboration, godliness, hospitality, ability to humor, speaking the truth, making the man feel good and so on. 

The price I pay will most likely differ from the price you pay or have to pay in your home. Once you understand who you are married to and how to handle their idiosyncrasies, you might just be on your way to bliss. You can prayerfully find out the price of peace and gather enough grace to pay. All that you have lost to pride, ego, selfishness will be restored in Jesus name.

You just have to discover the price you need to pay, then what you desire in your home will come to you. What do you have pay; giving up your ego, selflessness, respect, love, awaking to your responsibility, hospitality. Nothing  good comes cheap, Jesus paid the ultimate price for us with His own life, what makes you think you can walk through life with a "gime-gime" attitude? We need to change our orientation to get the right results. Start with yourself and you will be amazed the impact you will have on your partner.

Blessed week ahead!
