Colossians 3:19 NKJV

Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter toward them.

Colossians 3:19 NKJV

Husbands are called and empowered to love their wives. As husbands, we must realise that our wives are not a separate person but have become one flesh.

To be negative towards our wives, to have evil thoughts and words towards them is bringing harm to ourselves.

When husbands love their wives according to the image and likeness of God. The husband starts to build on a strong foundation that Jesus has laid.

Love covers a multitude of sins, it does not remind them of it. This breaks the yoke of shame, guilt and failure over their lives causing them to be a better person for each other.

As a husband, we need to nurture our wife in the ways of the Lord. God is love. Therefore, to really love our wives is to nurture them with God's word.

The husband's biggest investment is towards his wife. Building them, helping them and strengthening them causes the husband and the whole family to enjoy a Godly home.

This is the characteristics of Christ laying down His life for the church so that the church can walk in the fullness of God.

Therefore, let all husbands love their wives with the love of Christ so that they can walk in their full potential in God.

Live in the blessings,

Ps Ambrose
