Today’s Reading: Ephesians 5:28-33; Matthew 19:6 Version ESV
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians+5%3A28-33%3B+Matthew+19%3A6&version=ESV

Marriage is consummated, is completed in the sexual union. However, marriage goes beyond physical union. Marriage includes all other areas of life: social, mental and spiritual.

They are married! From now on, even though they are two different persons, it is as if they were one person, one flesh.

To love your wife is like loving your own body, says the Bible. There are no straight words like these to describe the union between a man and a woman, and that is done through marriage. They describe the union and leave a warning: The body needs warmth, tenderness and resents abuse!

There is a lot of sexual depravity and depravity of character in our society; this generates anxiety, emptiness, and loneliness. Unfortunately, there is selfishness, fights and separations between spouses; they always leave behind a trail of suffering and distress. However, nothing can destroy or obscure the union between a man and a woman who was made before God and with his blessing. Such a union brings life, joy, sincerity, comfort and is the basis of society. What God has joined together, no human being will be able to destroy.

Sincerity Melts
Today’s Reading: Psalm 19:12
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+19%3A12&version=GNT

Being sincere is not easy. Being sincere requires discipline, honesty in the correct judgment of all things. Sincerity begins in the relationship we have with ourselves, we cannot exaggerate when we judge the best or the worst that constitutes our personality.

We need to be honest with the people around us; we cannot say one thing in front of a person, and behind quite another.

As far as God is concerned, sincerity must be in the way we worship and the prayer we address to Him.

To live as Christians, we can never get rid of sincerity. Sincerity can melt the hardest heart.

Our relationship with God can be a mixture of holiness and hypocrisy. It is necessary to review our faith daily, because there may be a hidden facet of our feelings. The best therapy to cure us of insincerity is to ask God: Lord, may there be in me a sincere willingness towards you and my neighbor. As for my mistakes, “Deliver me from hidden faults.”

Feel His presence
Today’s Reading:Romans 5:1-2
In contemplating the injustices and hardships of life, we think, “God abandon me!” “If God cares about his children,” people ask, “Why am I suffering?” But let me tell you, God cares; God loves you; God does not forget you. The problem arises from the idea we have of God. We think about God as a loving father, always ready to protect the lives of His children, to give them everything they ask without demanding anything in return.

Before asking: “Could it be that God abandoned me?” we should think a about this. Maybe it was not God who left us, but we who abandon and forgot God.

In Jesus, God came to meet us. In that encounter with Jesus, God made man, our selfishness, our evil, our materialistic and useless life is left behind. Our encounter with God marks a new direction. He forgives and forgets our sin and gives us the opportunity to begin a new life with Him.

God is more interested on you than you think. Seek God with sincerity and certainly you will find Him.
