"Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people." C3:23
Please read this part taken out of Finding The Abundant Life, Chapter 3 "The Love Of My Life"
When they are faithful to the Lord and keep running after Him only, they will glow with the radiance of a new bride all their married lives! And that as long as they pursue the Lord, and not their husbands, their husbands will pursue them (but never overtaking them) for their hearts will be fixed on Jesus! And that if they turn their hearts toward their husbands, that their husbands will assuredly turn their hearts back to pursuing other things (the world, an OW, hobbies, outside friendships or work).
As I read this chapter, I realized how I had been chasing the wrong one's heart for year after year. It was incredibly important for me to get my husband's heart turned back to me, so much that it later became an obsession for me. And the more I wanted his heart, the more it became my biggest obstacle (because it is terrible to live with an obsession that I can compare to an addiction) and the less I got his heart turned back to me. It took me an incredibly long time to come to that realization, but also know that our precious Beloved Lord is using all my many mistakes for the good and His glory.
Precious woman I want to encourage you to run after the Lord, not for what you can get, don't make the mistakes I made. The author says that she believes that if women stop chasing men, that men will start to become uncomfortable and that what they pursue in the world will no longer have the same excitement.
Please also read this beautiful passage from the Chapter:
I also believe that once our precious Beloved knows that He has our hearts that He will happily begin turning the hearts of our men back to us, and they will be in hot pursuit of us! I have seen this happen in my own life, and in the lives of the ladies in our church who are beginning to grasp this powerful concept and to walk it out in their own lives!!
So precious woman I want to encourage you to give our Beloved Lord your whole heart.
Thank you jannine for sharing. ❤️
Merci pour ce partage. Cela fait des années que je cours après mon mari et les choses ne font qu’empirer dans notre relation.
je comprends aujourd’hui que je dois donner mon coeur entier à mon bien aimé.

Thank you for sharing this. I have been chasing my husband for years and things are only getting worse in our relationship.
I understand today that I must give my whole heart to my Beloved.
Aaahhh precious Lily I too did that and I experienced that our Beloved Lord is really the only One that can give the peace that surpasses all understanding, that I so longed for, for years.
And I know and believe this is the start of a testimony in your life.
Merciii Janine❤️
I can testify to this. When I pursued the wrong things in life, my FH’s heart, favor, time, attention and approval from him and everyone else, spending money, traveling and other things in this world, it only made everything worse and it only made my FH turn more away from me and turn to other things and many ow. Although it looked like I had everything on the outside, I was so miserable on the inside. Absolutely nothing satisfied. It was only as I started to pursue my First Love, my Beloved HH, that things started to change. Now that I’ve learned how to pursue Him ONLY and CONTINUALLY that I belong to only Him and I find favor with my HH, my FH, my children and so many other people and many areas of my life and radiate with a glow of a new bride of my One True Love. 💖
Thank you for sharing precious Ruby, you are so right nothing satisfied, only He can satisfy us.
Yup this is so true!! When l made the decision to become His Bride that’s when my eh heart turned back to me! And now after being restored for 10 years l have to say that having a restored marriage is a blessing BUT its not what fulfills me and its no honeymoon either.
Life does not magically become a fairytale after restoration. BUT having become His Bride is where l find my true joy and happiness 😀
l am so happy and joyful and find myself smiling and happy when l think about my wonderful Husband and just how AMAZING HE IS 💖😍♥️
This lesson is so powerful and if women can grasp and understand it they would be sooooo much happier!!!!!
Thank you for sharing precious Atarah, wow already 10 years restored, all because of our Beloved Lord, BUT yes it is only our Beloved Lord that can fulfill us.
