I have tried a lot of things in my life minus one thing .and that is doubting God. I am so sure of Him that I know that whenever I surrender He kicks in and takes over.

It is easy to show sinners how they sinned, but God is not looking for sin pointers, He is looking for sin forgivers. Behold the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.

Ladies ....a man does not want peace at home; he needs it. Home is supposed to be a refuge for a man; a hiding place, a cave to hide in, a place he can be away from the world that worked hard on him. You need to go home and study your home and see if it is a place someone can come into. How does it look physically? How does it look psychologically? How does it look emotionally? Study your home. Is it a place a man would love to stay and hide from the world?

Ladies, a man doesn't want respect, he needs it. A man does not need love. There is no where it is written that a man needs love. They simply need respect. A man interprets respect as love. When a woman tells a man that she loves him, it doesn't mean anything to him, but when a man knows you respects him, that means a lot to him.

Lord, I know that where I am right now, isn’t where You’re taking me. Give me glimpses of Your vision for my future, so that my understanding may grow in accordance with Your timing. Give me patience along the way and faith to trust that You’re always working for my good. Amen.

Love is not the foundation for marriage, people normally get married to someone they think, they are in love with. Can I say to you that love does not make marriage work, don't be fooled by that funny feeling, don't get married because you love someone? I love aircraft, but I can't fly them, I failed two times my pilot license, I love cars, but I failed two times in the driving school made it on the third time. I love diving but not yet ready to go to diving school. You can love something and still don't know how to do it. So love is not the problem but the knowledge. I still maintain love doesn't make marriage work but knowledge and understanding. . Acquire enough knowledge before going into it.

Many marriages would have succeeded today but many of the individuals didn't have the equipment; the knowledge to use to fix the situation. No marriage is irreparable, but most people are just too tired to fix it. This why it is important for you to get understanding. In all your getting don't get love....get understanding first. Understand what it means to be a woman. Understand what it means to be with a woman. You need to understand the compliancy in a woman and the uniqueness in a man. Understand communication skills, understand how to manage emotions and how to handle anger, you have to understand the dynamics of disagreement, you have to understand how to handle unfaithfulness; broken trust, if you do not understand all these things, you will always be stocked in life.
