KILL YOUR DISTORTED SPOUSAL PERSPECTIVE
Scientific studies have proved that your brain is made up of about 100 billion nerve cells – which look like trees.
All through the bible, God refers to us as trees in many of the verses.
Psa.1:3 “And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”
Prov.3:18 “She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her…”
The more branches you grow on these nerve cells, the more intelligent you become.
You grow what looks like BRANCHES in your brain as you take in knowledge and store it.
Science has proved that when you are not taking in knowledge, the branches in your brain begin to die.
Hosea 4:6 “My people are destroyed(die) for lack of knowledge”.
When you are able to view your spouse’s gifting, you are now seeing them through Jesus’ eyes.
That is why the question we are asking today is “Do You See What God Sees?” and the answer is “NO”!
If we saw what God sees, we would have more respect for our spouse’s opinion.
If you don’t view your spouse as Jesus sees them, you will want them to CONFORM to your way of thinking.
Your perspective of your spouse becomes distorted because you are now judging and evaluating them according to your view and not God’s handiwork in their life.
In Carolina Leaf’s book, “The Gift Within You”, she scientifically and through God’s word, explains the brain.
Her book is on the brain, but I recommend it to every married couple because of all the knowledge on the way the brain thinks.
When you take information into your brain, 100 billion neurons have the POTENTIAL to connect 100 trillion times.
That is an incredible capacity for thoughts and intelligence.
In order to understand your husband, you would have to know WHICH way a thought has traveled.
It is impossible for you to know which path of thought your spouse’s brain went down and God doesn’t expect you to know that.
God expects you to be UNDERSTANDING without understanding.
Do you try to change your husband?
Don’t get hung up on trying to improve your spouse’s WEAKNESSES.
Instead, learn to support his strengths.
A wife is a “helpmeet” to expand the husband’s life by taking care of the little details he overlooks.
It is not an opportunity to tell him how dumb he is and how you are tired of his ignorance.
It is time of opportunity for you to make him look good to his family, his friends, his co-workers and acquaintances.
His heart has to “safely trust in you.”
DOES IT?!?!
