Pastor John,
I had a conversation with Beth tonight, and I heard and felt the Lord in it. As I spoke to her, I heard words of wisdom and instruction that were beyond me. My words to her taught me as I listened; they weren’t from me.
It made me realize that we as husbands have the words of Life for our spouse. We have the words and the wisdom and the foresight that they need to get home to Jesus in peace. That is our place, my place.
I can’t do for anyone else what I can do for my wife because no one else is in my charge. I can’t impart wisdom and guidance to others as I can do for my wife because she draws that out of me; it is her place to do that. That is her function. We need each other. It’s a perfect match. I’ve seen it time and time again.
