I sometimes wonder what my life would be like if I had married a Christian. Yes, my life would be easier in the way that my husband and I would share the same passion, which in turn would effect everything we do. But how would my heart be as a Christian? Would I even be a strong Christian who wants nothing but to live a life in every way Christ would? I would have to say that I wouldn't know God as well as I know Him where I am today.
My life is far from easy. It cannot ever be easy when you live with someone who does not have the same interest or way of life as you. Living with a non believer can set you up for nothing but disappointment. I have clearly seen that if God does not live inside of you then you truly live an unfulfilled life. But no matter what my husband does I see God growing me closer to Him. I can say that I truly know what it means to show love no matter what. It is so true that humans can let you down but God will never disappoint. When someone does not always show love do we do the same? It is our nature to do so. But God has really taught me as well as given me the strength to choose to show love even when I don't feel like it. It is us as Christians who have the ability to show who Christ really is and therefore we should always do so when we have the opportunity.
Jesus is more than my friend. He is my father, my companion, and one that I know will always hear my prayer. I have seen God answer more prayers of mine than I probably would have if I had married a Christian. I would probably be pretty content in my life, feeling that I will call on God whenever I have the chance. It is rare that a day goes by that I don't pour out my heart to Him. I always know that He will come through for me. I can really say I now know it is not about me being happy in this life, it's about Christ being revealed.
