Beauty For Ashes: Strengthening Women and Men Who Are Waiting On God

We are living in perilous times. As the days get shorter, the world gets colder. There is now wars and rumors of wars and so many things that are going on in the world and most definitely in the spiritual realm. We don't have time to be lukewarm, but it is time to pick, choose a side and stay right there. The time and the days are speeding up and there is no time to straddle the fence. As I said before, choose this day who you will serve. The way that you live your life reflects who you will serve.  If you are in living and shacking together while not married, you are not living for God. If you are masturbating and self-pleasuring and having sex outside of marriage, you are not living for God. If you have a relationship with a married man or a woman, you are not living for God. Married is still married, whether the divorce is in processing or they are separated.  If you are participating in same-sex relationships, same sex sexual relations, same-sex marriage or condoning this ...

You don't have to tolerate disrespect just because you are a child of God. No, you have a right to speak up for yourself if you are not being treated fairly and the way that you want to be treated. God did not create you to be a doormat, but a peacemaker.  If you have parents that are disrespectful, you have the right to speak up for yourself. If you have in-laws that are disrespectful and overstepping their boundaries, you have a right to tell them and speak up for yourself. God gave you a mouth to speak so use it to speak up for yourself. 

There are many people who are smiling and grinning on social media and are not happy in their relationships. Some of them are being physically, mentally, emotionally and even financially abused.  Some people even use celebrities as an example as a healthy relationship, not knowing what is going on behind closed doors. There are some people in these marriages that wish they were single while others are genuinely happy. You have to focus on what your love story will be, not someone else's is or will be. Marriage is a serious thing, and it is imperative and important as to allow God to bring your spouse in your path and not allow your flesh to lead you.
