Hey Euty!
You get around don't you! My husband is a believer he just doesn't believe in UR. I think I may have been misunderstood about that.
I was asking how I shut up so God can work when I am so excited about what I am learning. I wondered if anyone else had gone through that and how they handled it. It is so exciting as the blinds of orthodoxy come off. How do you keep it to yourself? I guess these forums help alot!
Blessings, Paula

This has been an incredibly edifying thread, having love for your wife or husband (or anyone) requires patience, empathy and understanding, all these qualities together could be called charity. Once we understand that only God can drag someone to Him we can be patient in faith that the Lord is working with our spouse in His time, not ours. We can empathize with our mate remembering how we were before He revealed Himself to us, understanding that by being a living sacrifice, that our deeds are selfless and mirror the words we speak is a powerful testimony of Him in us.
Reading through all the great posts I thought of this chapter;
1 Corinthians 13 (King James Version)
1Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
His Peace and Wisdom to you,
Joe
