Romancing The Stone S7e16 James4:4

In a marriage relationship, both parties are to be fighting for the relationship; each giving all they've got and making the whole a priority.  Violating that commitment is known as adultery.

Similarly, we find that we are already "in a relationship" with God.  He's already started the marriage by indwelling His Spirit. And, He says that He continues to fight for our relationship.  Unfortunately, we are characterized poorly: adulterers; Violating the relationship in the most fundamental way. 

We are fighting for the wrong person.  Instead of fighting and acting and letting our words (prayers) reflect our pursuit of HIM, we are all about ME. We quarrel and fight, and become angry, and passionate for mostly just ME.  The most encouraging part of all this is to know the passion, the jealously, that He fights for me.  Join me for 7 minutes to consider this.
