  Speaker 1: Hi, this is apostle doctor Jule Williams, and I'm here
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: with today for our marriage moment. I want to read
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: you the scripture. I've read it to you on the
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: last one, but i want to read it again because
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about how do you stand strong in the
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: hard times? This is first Commenesity in thirteen, verse four
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: and five says love us patient and kind. Love is
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: not jealous or boastful, or proud or rue. It does
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: it keeps no record of being wronged. I want to
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: share story time with you. There were several years ago.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: I mean it's been over twenty years, but we were
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: having a prayer at our church at the time and
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: I was assigned to pray with the cops. Pastor read
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: and so one of the questions she asked me was,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: how do you pray for your husband for things he
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: hasn't even done yet? I said, wait, what you want
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: me to pray and forgive him for stuff he hasn't
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: even done yet? And so I prayed the prayer because
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I was being obedient. This was my co pastor. Fast
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: forward to some time later, and there came a point
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: where my husband did something that just totally devastated me
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: right and I was just like, I don't know how
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna deal with this. And you know what, the
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, he said, you
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: already prayed about this. You already forgave him for this.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Sometimes what we think of love is that fluffy, kind sweet,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: but love is hard work. Saying you love somebody means
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: you're willing to do the work necessary to make sure
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: that that love grows. And so I don't regret ever
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: doing that. Here we are after forty two years, and
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: he treats me like a shown off queen. I tell
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: people all the time I am super spoiled and I
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: am okay with that. Anything I want, anything I need,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: he is right there to get it. But guess what,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: and I not been willing to love that way, I
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: could have missed this. I don't want you to miss
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: what God has for you. So are you willing to
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: do the hard work to love in a way that
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: make sure that your marriage grows, that the both of
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: you grows, and that you both are basically being fulfilled
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: and what God has for you? God bless you have
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: a great day On purpose
