Finding and Making Meaning, Without Losing Each Other - Ep. 074 (Sound Marriage Series) Nov 11, 2019

Show notes

My prayer for you this week is that you let your loved ones off the hook for fulfilling in you what only Christ can. That you’d understand God’s heart in a new way today as you listen to these words, which we sometimes forget: With God, one day is as good as a thousand years, and a thousand years, as good as a day (Ps. 90:4). God isn’t late with His promise, as some measure lateness, but because God so loves the world - that includes you! - He’s restraining Himself on your account, because He doesn’t want anyone lost (John 3:16). But instead, He desires that we would live life abundantly through Him (John 10:10). He’s giving everyone space and time to change (2 Peter 3:8-9).
