Scripture
1 Peter 3:1-12   (BSFL*)
Translation
NIV

What God said to me
Yield to the authority of your husband. No, no, no….no ifs, ands, or buts…yield. It is My desire that you love and respect him with a pure and reverent heart. If he does not follow My desires for his life, I will deal with him. It is not up to you to make sure he is in My will. You are responsible for you. Strive for harmony. Live a life of compassion and humility. Love, love, love, love. After all, “the Gospel in a word is love.”
What I said to God
I consider myself to be submissive to my husband, yet it seems that often I am submissive when it is convenient to be so. I want to trust You more to complete Your work in his life because You are right, I do have my hands full just trying to keep my own life on track. Teach me to love.
