The Importance of Grace in a Covenant Marriage: God’s Unfailing Gift in Relationships

Image
Introduction   Marriage is more than a legal union—it's a sacred covenant , a spiritual commitment between a man, a woman, and God. At the heart of this divine relationship is a powerful, unearned, and undeserved force called grace . Understanding the role of grace in a covenant marriage  is essential for couples who seek lasting love, healing through trials, and growth in God’s purpose for their union.  A covenant marriage is more than a legal contract—it’s a sacred bond built on love, commitment, and divine principles. One of the most powerful yet often overlooked aspects of a strong marriage is grace . Grace is the unmerited favor, forgiveness, and kindness that sustains relationships through challenges.  In this article, we’ll explore:  - The biblical foundation of grace in marriage  - How grace strengthens marital commitment  - Practical ways to extend grace to your spouse  - The long-term benefits of a grace-filled marriage  By the end,...

Live Each Day With All Heart and Soul

Image
As I prepare for work and a day made free, I am reminded of Colossians three verse twenty-three ..  What good will it do my heart, If I should work for man and a deeper purpose would depart ..  Everything I do unto the Lord is a form of praise  It is an act of worship as I will lean on him and follow his ways  And remember what I do for the least man, I am doing to God, oh, its a perfect and divinely inspired plan  No longer will I entertain thoughts of cheating on my time,  Though I may get away with it, it could delay a spiritual climb ..  And this would make my Lord sad, Like every child I could fall, but I want to make my Daddy glad  So I will remember whatever I do and wherever I go,  His eyes follow me and there’s nothing he cannot see or know  I will do what is pleasing to him not out of fear,  Rather, because I don't wish to see his soulful eyes slowly tear  When I was a young boy, I flew paper airplanes with much vigor...

Until We Meet Again ...

Image
One last kiss, A moment in time we can’t miss …  I may be traveling far, But you will remain my closest star!  Until I return, For you, my love, will my heart burn  We found a different direction, Yet, still remaining is our connection  You will travel one way I another For true love will never ever smother  My work continues in Greece, And I am to return to charming Nice  Still, we will trust and we will see Deuteronomy twenty-eight vs. three  As our journeys cross, The Lord shall restore our every loss  For we will live blessed lives again Together as one as we did back then  Time will have its say Yet we will be for the Lord is our way  Blessed in both city and country, We will live our lives soft and humbly  One more kiss my love, Until we meet again its you I think of  We will follow the path of a dove, And to his heart and yours is my love.  ~ Linda Rose 🧚🏼‍♀️

His Eye Is On The Sparrow ...

Image
I heard the Lord speaking, When he reminded me that he is my King..  Just as he is for man, My journey on earth has a purpose and plan!  I was a little startled at first But as I grew hungry and encountered thirst..  I knew from previous days, That God's word is alive and why I sing praise  Do not fear my little one, I have given you wings to fly when others run.. Your enemies may be larger than you  Yet your presence shall always remain in view  Not one of you will fall to the ground,  Without my knowing for the lost will be found  I saw you were wandering about  Alone and I never want you to have any doubt  Day after day, I will be here … For the length of yours and beyond I will care! Ohh Jesus! I'm so thankful you are here and could see us  In winter snow, You direct my steps and thy paths I may know  When I am dry, You send me rain before their hour to say bye  And when I am hungry You feed me and all of yours in ever...

The Faithful In Christ Will Stand

Image
We will stand whether the sea is calm or has rising waves  For we weren’t planted in shifting sand but in God who saves.  And though we may bend  There is the perfect helper our Lord Jesus would send …  Two Corinthians four verse eight and nine,  "We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed;  Perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned;  Struck down, but not destroyed.”  Is pretty encouraging news to me! And so for every living and breathing tree!  May it be for you as well,  Before our journey is complete, we should live with joy and tell,  Of God’s unending mercies and grace.   When storms crash our life shores and trouble occupies space,   He will direct us by light.  Sun for day and moon for night...  And if we ever feel as though we stand alone, Please remind us you take every step with us until we're home.  For you are man’s strong tower, And numbered the length of all...

A Tranquil Day Clothed In Hope

Image
Early one hour a visitor came by, She watered us with love beneath the bluish purple sky … Under the silvery moon I grew in shades of white, Amongst the others before the first ray of sunrise and light Ohh the earth is filled with God’s awesome wonder ! All creation is accounted for by Him and closely numbered .. Between morning dawn, And evening fade Jesus counts the birth of every new fawn As heaven exhales her breath upon land, All nature is given a time to live by the mercy of God's hand Not a day too soon, Could a dedicate bud hear His whisper to rise up and bloom Nor will it die before its appointed time, And when that day arrives, it would say good-bye and climb Just as morning ushers in the sun, And evening the moon to manifest light until its time is done Why does man worry about life and what to eat or drink Doesn’t he realize his faith and Jesus’ faithfulness are linked His new creation is found in God, Held in the hands of our Lord that scarred but never flawed ! Life i...

You Are Making Progress

Image
You Are Making Progress  ... One step at a time…  To inhabit every blessing could be yours and mine .!  Even if our progress is slow, We believe in God whose hand makes all things grow  Just like Jesus who grew in  stature  Seeds of hope bud in our life and would soon mature  Because God will always watch over his seed  And speak growth upon us as his spirit still intercedes  Believe in him and yourself you can do it ! For the mind of Christ who dwells in us will never quit  Surely, he is more than able !  To give breath to our dreams still rocking in the cradle  Cheer yourself on and continue on His chosen path  Before very long, victory shall dance and joy will laugh  Bearing the fruit of God’s favor and our labor  For His faithfulness towards us will never be our traitor  By ~ Linda Rose 🧚🏼‍♀️ 

Learn To Enjoy The Little

Image
Learn To Enjoy The Little  ... Never dismiss the little nuggets of today …  Which come everyday to bring a smile our way …  Morning still greets us with the sun …  As children born of light could romp and have fun !  And look what appears in the noontime hour  Where buds of yesterday now emerge into a flower  We will never witness heaven’s miracle at hand  Until we begin to see the smallest blessings on land  With eyes wide open Let true enjoyment testify to what God has spoken !  As the sun rises and sets over the ocean sea  Gratitude is the beginning of joy in us now set free ..  To explore uncharted waters, When little blessings explode across waiting borders  And remember to put on new lens They shall enhance your viewing to see hidden gems  Before too long we will discover a treasure chest  Unveiling the many reasons to know we are blessed !  By ~ Linda Rose 🧚🏼‍♀️

Sometimes We Must Let Go

Image
Sometimes We Must Let Go ... A sailing ship …  Travels an ocean sea as some are now taking a trip …  We watch them leave our life bidding farewell  Just when we thought two may write their story to tell  Ohh why did they leave our world we wonder  Suddenly the sky was dark with lightening and thunder  I have protected you said the Lord .!  While you trusted they were on board grief was in store  Do not chase after what is now gone ..  There's a new chapter to be lived beyond horizon dawn  And while some are waiting for their ship to come in  They lost their direction of how and where to now begin  Today is a new day …  Do not run after those who have chosen their own way ..  Remember, the shore had to kiss the ocean goodbye  Before the waves could explore their expanse and apply  You see, everything in life has a turn of events  With stories to share while you gaze upon their contents  There is a t...

Inspire Others To Grow

Image
Inspire Others To Grow  ... Please never give up, I know in your next sip there is joy in your cup .!  Encouragement could revive a dying soul Softening the harshness of life and all that it stole  Live a life of faith to inspire ! Believing for you and others it puts out brushfires  We never know what our lives may bring Words can turn drops of waters into living springs  For yourself and others …  Ohh why not send hope in their midnight to cover  One day in heaven we will hear  A sister or brother thanking us that we truly cared  And say I am here with Jesus  You helped me when life was so hard and grievous  Until I saw the light of day !  And knew eternity was in my heart and would stay  You see, love inspires us to press on  We shall never travel today again in hours its gone  To all those who inspired me when I was low ..  You brought life to my soft petals that I may grow ..  And what you have don...

Cultivate A Persistent Faith ...

Image
Cultivate A Persistent Faith  ... Become a persister of eternal things, And you will receive heavenly rewards from the King !  It really does pay off to be consistent So long as our prayer life never becomes non-existent  Prayer changes and strengthens our effort Keeping us steadfast in faith without all hope to abort !  We persevere one day …  And once again tomorrow with foresight to stay ....  Before we know it persistence becomes a habit  We set goals and work towards them rather than just sit  Until we begin to see habitual victory And days of failure become a passing shadow in history  Should we fall off course  Jesus will empower us to begin again and help reinforce  That He is our ever-present help in time of need  And by his power and wisdom he would once again lead  Because every victory comes from His hand  Our faith and trusting him has always been Father's plan  By ~ Linda Rose 🧚🏼‍♀️ 

Your Blossom Begins From Within

Image
Your Blossom Begins From Within ...  You may be in a season of hiddenness ... As you find yourself walking in the barren wilderness ...  But do not lose heart .! Jesus will continue to guide you as he did from the start  And remember the prettiest flowers, Blossom in desert places for God is never lacking power  If you feel as though you are laid to rest, You must always believe that His knowledge knows best  For nothing blooms year round .! Yet there is still breath now dwelling beneath the ground  Just because you cannot see it, still it is true  Before very long sleepy eyes shall begin to peak through  When you hear God calling you to Arise ! To come forth as you put on new glory for a perfect size  And please, remain patient with yourself Some of the greatest treasures are still sitting on a shelf  By ~ Linda Rose 🧚🏼‍♀️

We Are An Overcomer In Christ

We Are An Overcomer In Christ ... Life is full of challenges and hard things But found easy and very light for a reigning King .!  So long as we cast our cares upon As noted in psalm fifty-five verse twenty twoWe Are An Overcomer In Christ ... Life is full of challenges and hard things But found easy and very light for a reigning King .!  So long as we cast our cares upon As noted in psalm fifty-five verse twenty two hymn  We could still move forward If we keep the eyes of our faith resting on the Lord  hymn  We could still move forward If we keep the eyes of our faith resting on the Lord  Surely, he will never let us down When we fall his wings would lift us off the ground  Because Jesus understands hard things He knew what living life on the earth would bring !  Remember he wasn’t just God he was man, When fear tried to speak greater was Father’s plan  He will always carry us through the storm But we must never allow faith to become lu...

We Serve A God Of Grace

Image
We Serve A God Of Grace ... Live life beautiful …  It would keep your heart so vibrant and youthful ...  As you spread your eagle wings in flight …  And travel the mercy winds until dark turns into light.!  Still, you must first hear the knock on your door,  There is so much more living for you that he shall pour  Whether you need a second third or fourth chance  Your life is always worth rediscovering and its expense  But never forget who beholds the glory!  Jesus authors your life for mercy has written your story  And why it is you are given his grace,  He gathers lives of turnaround to occupy earth's space  To live outside the realm of fear  Who fly the skies for there is  another day to breathe air  Know today is another time of opportunity  To try again until victory manifests a deeper continuity!  By ~ Linda Rose 🧚🏼‍♀️ 

Let It Remain Your First Love

Image
Begin your day in the word …  Even the flowers find their rest by what is heard …  The sun can’t rise without hearing God’s voice  Nor could the heart of a man find peace and rejoice  As morning rain comes to nourish the earth  The Spirit of God has revealed to man hidden worth  And spring dances when she is ushered in  By revelation of His word granted to all that is in him  Its alive and well.!  And shall keep your days long for you to one day tell  By the word I heard,  My faith was given breath and grew wings like a bird  Today, it found its course  Joined to His spirit we will never separate or divorce  A soul called by love,  Will respond to the soft whisper echoing from above  Feel the warmth  It releases sunlight from all directions and goes forth  Deep travels and opens the gate of your heart,  And once entering in will never for a moment depart  This is the only promising way to...

Send The Hug Of Prayer

Image
You may live oceans away But I remain near to you because I can hug you as I pray  Distance will never deter the route of prayer  Hear the whispers feel the spirit within my soul I still care  Though the mountains may break ...  Yet strong is the influence a sending prayer can make ....  It never returns void regardless of its long travel  God’s mercy endures and never chosen by a lucky raffle  The heart knows when another has a need,  What has healthier growth than that of incorruptible seed  Prayer matters when the arms for a hug can’t be found  And rises upon God’s wing and will lift you off the ground  I will care for you all of your days,  My prayers are sent hugs helping you out from your maze  It will reach you in no time  Where you will sense by faith all good things will still align  Because everyone needs a hug!  Its a secret cry in every human soul an non-invasive drug  Today I am praying for...

Deep Calls To Deep

Image
  As I stepped into the blue nile river,  My eyes caught a glimpse of the Lord and my giver  His reflection appeared so near.!  As I began to embrace the soothing waters so clear  The waves began to swirl,  To the sound of his whisper as he called me his girl  Come, let’s swim in the deep  And discover ancient treasures now worthy to keep  I looked back towards the land ...  While he clothed my nakedness with his open hand ..  Every day I waited for you here ..  I knew you would desire more and soon draw near ...  Oh Lord, I have looked for the deeper still …  Always have I sought thy revelation to know your will  Today you will meet Holy Spirit in a new way  He soars over oceans deep where he loves to pray.!  For you and the others that will come,  To pour out more upon all flesh and never only some  Into the deep we will explore ...  And awaken sleeping pearls now buried on the shore...

A Binding Love

Image
The bond of sisterhood,  Is one throughout the ages silence has understood  Just look at Martha and Mary,  Different they were but love for Jesus did they carry  You may have a sister who is estranged ... But love for one another would never have changed  Though we may focus on the separation  Let us remember the hand of God created formation  Its never by accident the family we are born into  All things have its purpose if our finite wisdom knew  She may be a rose petal type of girl And you a butterfly sprinkling hope and loving pearl  Sister …  One calm and serene another like a hurricane twister  Yet there is something beautiful  When love speaks and forever would remain youthful  Still, there is a bridging of souls,  Where connection of spirits require no traveling tolls  Distance may be today …  But if you would keep hope alive and earnestly pray.!  Love is still the vehicle of choice  An...

Enter His Gates With Thanksgiving

Image
  Far too long I focused on a thorn  Rather than the blooming rose I should have worn …  So often night will bring one perspective  While day another with eyes wide open and selective  Just as some would only see the silver lining  But never think to look beyond the clouds at the King  Today is a day of hope for you to look up No more will you drink bitterness from midnight’s cup  Yesterday is gone …  Look past the horizon there is coming an eternal dawn  Turn around and feel her soul,  And take back what the enemy and his minions stole.!  It was never for their taking  I will shake the land with my hand and earth’s quaking  And smooth out the tangles in your knotted hair  Returning glory back to the heart and face born so fair  By ~ Linda Rose 🧚🏼‍♀️

Embrace The Miracles Of Life

Image
  Every day of life beholds a miracle ..  Hear the sound of melodies from God's oracle ..  As the morning dove sings,  And winter snowflakes dance on invisible strings  Open your spiritual eyes and see,  Gratitude is what unlocks shut doors with a key! Begin to see the hidden pearl in the rain, And the miracles of forgiveness instead of blame  Before reaching for the stars  Let’s remember Jesus who is near he is never far  In the storm He speaks  Watch miracles break forth upon hillside’s peak!  And listen to a newborn baby cry  Reminding you that you are living and did not die  Ohh and never forget to trade in your weep,  You are not alone but part of God’s flock to leap! Over the mountainside,  Upon the billowing clouds shall you rest and ride  Let miracles of thankfulness enlarge our vision  Never to be forgotten we are his saved christians  Its a miracle like no other …  We are promised th...

Kindness Is The Kiss Of Love

Image
  There is a language of love .. Its breath will never end its birth came from above  And given to hearts so tender That humble themselves and thank its true sender  And so little is the cost, Its known to melt away an icy chill of winter’s frost  Surely kindness travels a long way ! Lighting the path of darkness under clouds so grey  If someone tells you that you are loved, Your soul grows wings flying alongside God's dove  And when you hear your life is celebrated The power of such words will never be understated  Tell someone their life is worthwhile, No more will the frown of despair show but a smile  Every lesson which comes our way ... Could turn positive if kindness is never turned away  Lets cast aside the language of put downs And build one another up to see by faith their crown  Called chosen and loved as yourself others are,  To shine with the warmth of God’s light as his stars!  ....today and everyday, you are loved...
