365 WORDS...ONE WORD AT A TIME...HELLO MARCH!

Walking back to my house today I overheard a young man talking on his mobile phone. Actually I am sure the whole neighborhood heard him. He was quite loud and very irate. What caught my attention was when he stated that if he continued the relationship with his girl friend he would...and I quote..."end up in F*#@in jail!" Now it occurred to me to wonder...if that's the case...then why are they still TOGETHER? It seems in this day and age people would rather stay TOGETHER and be miserable than to be alone. Me personally, I couldn't take the aggravation, the agitation, or the stress of being in a relationship with anyone who pushed every button I have. Even in marriage the Bible cautions us about being unequally yoked. Spiritually yes...but in other ways as well. When two mules or oxen are yoked TOGETHER to plow or pull something...if they are not in agreement, nothing will be accomplished! It is the very same with human relationships. My mother always says that if you can get two people TOGETHER going in the right direction at the same time, doing the right thing...look how much they would accomplish. Even thieves know to do that...so why is it that married couples, dating couples, and friends can't seem to get along TOGETHER? Now thieves may not get along with each other after their evil deeds are done...but while they are in the midst of evil doing they work TOGETHER as one, all moving toward one goal. We who are in Christ are to be one body all working toward one goal...and no our goal is not Heaven. God has already promised us paradise when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Our goal is to win others to Christ! TOGETHER! The life we lead is to be our testimony...actions speak so much louder than words. If you are with someone and you are not married and all you do is fight...odds are you don't need to be TOGETHER...if you are married...work it out if possible...but do it TOGETHER and start with letting God be the center of your marriage. TOGETHER you will go a lot farther if you are working TOGETHER and not against one another.
