Married for 7 Years!

Issac and I have been married for 7 years today! It's hard to believe that 7 years have gone by - time flies! I'm so happy to be married to Issac! I feel like God blessed me big time by giving Issac to me. He is a godly man and strives to live his life in godliness, holiness, and humility. He is a great example of Christ to me and he encourages me to live my life to glorify God. Of course, he is not perfect, but I see him growing in the Lord everyday and it's awesome!
I can admit that when we got married, I didn't know what it really meant to be married, other than spending the rest of my life with the same dude and raising kids and stuff. I understand now, by God's grace, that marriage is a representation of God's covenant with us. When I said my marriage vows to Issac, I said that I would love him for better or worse, in sickness and in health, till death do us part. I promised to honor and cherish him, which I know I have not always done. I am a sinner and have fallen short of my promises to Issac, and even more so, fallen short of God's perfect standard. God's covenant with us is that He promised to give us eternal life through His son, Jesus Christ. God sent Him to die on the cross for our sins so that if we believe in Him, repent of our sins and trust in Him as our Lord and Savior, we will gain God and eternal life with Him!! God promised to never leave us or foresake us. He will never divorce us even though we have many other lovers other than Him. He loves us perfectly because He sees us as if we were Jesus, having lived a perfect life without sin. I understand that my marriage to Issac should point to God and His love for us. I only hope and pray that is true of our marriage today!
