A Lifelong Love: Devotioinal Journal
In this beautiful devotional journal, you will find deeper spiritual and personal application for the principles in the book A Lifelong Love by Gary Thomas. Journaling space allows you to write down your reflections stemming from the devotional content. Build the Right Foundation Marriage is designed by God, a mark of His kindness because He allows us to know the joys of intimacy and family life. Yet even the best of marriages is a miserable substitute for the ultimate reality of living for God. Unless... Unless we have a magnificent obsession, an overriding purpose that ties our days together, gives comfort in the valleys, calls us forward in the suffering, highlights our joy, and even seasons our ecstasies. That s what God provides in a marriage based on Him. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5 What do you think it looks like to have God as your magnificent obsession?
