We think a lot about God being our heavenly Father, but for us married ones… do we know God as our Father-in-Law? In other words, are aware that we are married to God’s daughter or son?
Guys, are we thinking about how much God cares about how we treat His precious little daughter? You guys that have daughters growing up, and you’d “get out the shotgun”, if you thought some guy was going to mistreat your little girl… like God have mercy on the miserable wretch who does anything to hurt her!… Do you ever think how God might feel, if you go mistreating HIS little girl?… your wife?
How about, do you remember how you tried so hard to impress your future father-in-law, when you wanted to marry his beautiful daughter? Or feared him?
Is that desire to ‘impress’ your heavenly Father-in-Law still working in your heart? Do you treat your wife like she’s the joy of God’s heart… the apple of His eye… His precious treasure?
Let’s get practical. Do you think your super-wealthy heavenly Father-in-Law is going to freely share His riches with you, if you are neglecting His daughter? C’mon, get REAL!
On the other hand, what would He withhold from the guy who cherishes, and protects his little girl? And does all he can to make her happy?
It comes back to feeling the heart of God… of course, for every person on the face of this earth… but ESPECIALLY for His sons and daughters! And above all others… that special ONE that He gave you!
