It's In the Mail and...
Loving the Unlovely in our Lives
October 24, 2008
The Kingdom Assignment envelopes are going into the mail today. On Monday I will share the assignment here at Spiritually Unequal Marriage and some of the amazing stories of others who desired to honor Jesus and love their neighbor.
I hope you are moved and filled with ideas about your own assignment. Please (click here if you have not sent me your snail mail address.)
Loving the Unlovely in our Lives:
So , I have a question for you. Are you growing in your love for God and are you growing in your love for people?
Galatians 5:14 The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."Mathew 7:12 12So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
I submit this statement for consideration: You only love Jesus as much as you love the most unattractive person you know.
Is this true? If it is true, how do we love that person who is a child abuser, or an ex-husband, a boss who is critical, a mother who is cold distant or even cruel. What about a spouse who hates Jesus?
How?
Looking forward to your wisdom and your scripture verses. Be Blessed, Lynn

Marching Around Jericho is a spiritual guide. As you read through the pages, powerful and transformative instruction and equipping takes place. We follow Jesus as he leads us around the walls, imparting kingdom truths with each passing, finally arriving at the gates of the walled-off city, our spouse’s unbelieving heart. After the circles in prayer are complete, we arrive fully prepared to command the walls to crumble and be removed, making a way for our spouse to step from the rubble of lies and captivity, into faith and freedom!
