Last month we heard about Ann Marie and Tim's challenging marriage. After visiting a divorce attorney and spending the weekend in prayer, Ann Marie heard from God that she was the one that needed to change.
During their first “altercation” after God had spoken, Ann Marie prayed silently begging God for His power and to fill her with love for her husband. She asked God to help her see him through His eyes, the eyes of grace. God answered and gave her the strength to respond with love. Her husband was so shocked at the change that he did not know how to respond. As the weeks and months passed, she continued to show him love in tangible, affirming ways without expecting anything in return. At times, she would see him watching her when he thought she wasn’t looking. He couldn’t figure out this radical change in her. One day, a few months later he came into the bedroom and sat on the side of the bed where she was sitting, reading her daily devotional. He held her hand, looked into her eyes and said, “Ann Marie, you are the most beautiful example of a Christian that I have ever seen.” It was a miracle! God had answered her prayers by changing her! The power of God’s love flowing through her had changed her husband and she watched in sheer astonishment as her husband became the awesome, loving, spiritual head that God had called him to be. They have now been married for over twenty years. God is truly faithful when we seek Him with our whole heart and commit to obey Him.
