1. Indulge me. 2. Application as the LORD leads your mind. 3. Who has the stronger Character? Someone who can but won't or someone who can't but will? In that both don't do it is a credit to the LORD. But do both want? That is an unknown factor as there are no words of discussion one way or another. Not a word. But the level of struggles may well be different. One has years to go and a whole life. The other has little time and the life star is dwindling. I am reminded of the black page and a white dot. The dot is static but the life force is ebbing. Hence by definition the black page is increasing even if the dot, the hope, stays the same size. So by definition it is being reduced by mathematical proportions. What does a whole week of funerals do to your mind? It makes you think of yours. What does a whole week of mind on wedding messages do? Makes you think of your impending wedding or your current marriage. And statically this can be very, very uplifting or very, very disheartening. These are statistical facts. So, no insight there to anyone. What makes a person a strong character? Saying no. We see it on signposts everywhere. SAY NO. It is a credit to a person to say no. Strong character. But what a fight within to accomplish that NO. Sometimes life is good to us. Sometimes life is hard. But a good husband or wife will be there always together. Holding each others hand. Encouraging each other. And what is misery? A person who has no one to hold their hand and be encouraged. What a wretched person they are; man or woman, husband or wife. What is this life God has given us? A life of tests. The grace of God is forgiveness when we fail. Always always the grace of God is there. That is his covenant to believers. But the strength of God to resist is true strength. Yet at what cost? Breaking of health due to stress of resisting. It's all how we see it. As a week of wedding thoughts comes to an end,, we can say part 1 is over. Part 2 is over. Part 3 is yet to come. Paperwork over. Wedding over. Life is ahead. Indulge me.
