What Does Marriage Mean to YOU?



 



What all hear various definitions



 of what marriage means.



Not realizing the consequences



 this often brings!



 



There’s often a lack of commitment



and faithfulness.



Many still looking for a true source of happiness!



 



This institution, that God set up as a husband and wife.



Needs to have his spirit,



 to guide our life!



 



It’s no wonder why, there’s many falling apart!



It’s causing heartache and many broken hearts!



 



No court in the land can wash away sin’s dark stain.



When adultery happens, things aren’t the same!



 



May we all seek to ask God



 to strengthen our home!



He’s there to help us!



 When we feel all alone!



 



We need the blood of Jesus to daily cleanse us!



He wants to do this!  Because he loves us!



 



Jesus remains committed, faithful and strong!



His word will teach us what’s right and wrong!



 



May we seek HIS guidance and council!



You’ll find, that he is always most helpful!



 



Please Jesus… Heal the broken families



 across this nation!



For only you can provide



 a much needed foundation!

About the Poet
I and my wife have 4 grown children and currently live in the Pacific Northwest. I've spent much of my life doing volunteer work in the food distribution for the needy among local churches. Many of the poems I've written are a reflection of times of adversity as a reminder of God's love and faithfulness. I've found many opportunities to share my poems with those who are hurting and discouraged. I'm thankful for the reports of many of the poems touching people's lives. I hope that the poems included on Wordchimes will touch and bless your life too!
