God is marvelous. It says in the Bible His name is Wonderful. Wonderful doesn't mean "great", or "fantastic", or "neato". It means magnificent, mighty, beyond my human thought. My LORD and Savior's name is Wonderful. Just His name. And yet He loves me? He created all this, His hands span the universe, and yet He loves me? I have a hard time being nice to someone if they aren't nice to me, and yet He loves me. He loves ME!? And He shows me too. I felt bad today, emotionally really, which manifested itself into physical upset. I wanted to do my own thing, I wanted my husband to act like I was the second most important thing in his life, (God being first, not his scooter, or school) and when I didn't get it, I felt pouty. I felt unloved in a way. Then I took a shower. I pray in the shower. And when I pray and back off and let God answer, I'm so blessed by Him. He reminded me with scripture after scripture how much He loves me, and how I'm to serve Him. My actions and attitudes shouldn't be determined by my husband's. He is not a terrible man, nor does he treat me poorly, but I (being a sinful woman) want him further along in his walk with God. So, if I'm not being diligent to change my mind, and let God change my heart, I tend to let my husband's responses to me affect me. Wrong. God says wrong. Here are a few of the verses He reminded me of while I was showering:

1Pe 3:1	WIVES, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives,
1Pe 3:2	when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear.
1Pe 3:3	Do not let your adornment be merely outward--arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel--
1Pe 3:4	rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.
1Pe 3:5	For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands,
1Pe 3:6	as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror.
1Pe 3:7	Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.
1Pe 3:8	Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous;[fn1]
1Pe 3:9	not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.

And

Mat 5:44	"But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,[fn8]
Mat 5:45	"that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
Mat 5:46	"For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
Mat 5:47	"And if you greet your brethren[fn9] only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors[fn10] do so?
Mat 5:48	"Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

My God sends the rain on the just and the unjust. My God has it under control. He loves me. And I'm no better for that unless I can pray for those who spitefully use me and persecute me. And loving my husband especially when he isn't nice to me or grateful for me, that's what my being saved is all about. Jesus loves me...for the Bible tells me so. And I'm bad. Lilly loves Fred...the Bible tells me so. Because Jesus is good.
