One year of 365 days has gone yet again and it is time for me to reflect on my journey with Jesus in 2015. After many years of singlehood, 2015 is the year I got married and settled down with a godly woman whom God has graciously brought into my life. Married life is very revealing indeed. My ways as a natural sinner is very much obvious and alive in front of my wife! If single life is challenging to be pure before God, married life brings my spiritual journey to the next level. This is simply because my wife is always being used by God to point out all my weaknesses and how my heart is indeed deceitful above all things (Jer 17:9). Alas! What a sinner I am indeed.
The years which I had spent as a single man allowed me to be righteousness in my own manner and this indeed could blind me from knowing my true heart condition which is a sinner through and through before my God. Yes, I can deceive myself into believing that I am acing my spiritual journey with God. The truth is I am not. Being married opens my eyes to the ultimate reality of my heart condition and allows God Himself to continue to mold me towards Christ’s Character.
2015 is an interesting year for me as I kicked off this year, registering for a joint google email account together with my then girlfriend (now my wife) after being in a relationship for about 2 weeks. Subsequently, I proposed to her on Resurrection Sunday, began our wedding preparation and then got married on 21 Nov. We went for our honeymoon in New Zealand and now we are preparing to get our own place ready for move in. Everything seems to be moving in an extremely fast pace for us. I can really know that God’s Timing is always perfect.
This New Year, I look forward to spend more quality time with God in my daily devotion with Him as I seek to learn from Him firsthand on how to be a husband who loves his wife like how Christ loves the Church. As His Word continues to come alive before my eyes, I pray that you can also taste and see that The LORD is good (Psa 34:8).
Have a blessed 2016 and God Bless you!
