Is it worth it?
1 Peter 3:7
A Word to Husbands
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.
A moment of happiness paid for by slight uncertainty.
Is it worth a price ... to add worries to your life?
Is that what love is about ... compared to forms of liking?
As worry is a form of selfishness ... build on inner strife.
Love one another … it is easier to love self
if God unites two together ... why is self in the way?
Are not most marriages failing ... because of principle
lost along the path of life ... in exchange for time a day?
Everything that fails and constantly falls apart
is it because of selfishness ... in me or in another?
It is the main ingredient ... of man’s depravity
and unless changed by Christ ... impossible to smother?
Jan Wienen
