Love Letters: "Dear Wives" - Searching My Heart


SE's Newest MONTHLY feature!!



LOVE LETTERS to Singles & Wives



Written by:   Alexis Johnson and LaCrea Bucknell

Dear Wives (and wives-to-be!),
I have been a wife for seven years, and the LOVE that I have for my husband has grown strong and continues to grow stronger, each day. He's my best friend - the one that I truly trust. He is my God-sent man – my Heavenly Husband. He is the man that I vowed my life to, on our wedding day. He LOVES me just right, and ALL glory goes to our Father GOD, whom we both keep at the center of our marriage. We both love God with all of our hearts and we truly thank Him for the wonderful marriage we have today. We thank Him for His wisdom and understanding as to HOW He purposed a marriage to function. For we know, without Him…. Without revelation… our marriage would NOT be what it is today! Oh trust me, before we came to know God… before we developed personal relationships with Him… before we grasped our roles as Husband and Wife… well, let’s just say, things were a little “different” in the Johnson household – but To God be the Glory – NOW, we know! Now, I am THAT wife – an EPHESIANS 5:22 WIFE… and thank you, Lord, my husband is THAT husband – an EPHESIANS 5:25 HUSBAND.

{Ephesians 5:22-28} Marriage—Christ and the Church

22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. 24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. 28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.

We haven’t always been where we are today (smile)… Everybody starts somewhere, right?!  Well, my start, as a wife, was all wrong! I thank God, my husband was born with a patient nature, otherwise Lord only knows if we would have made it long enough to

Love Letters: "Dear Singles" - Time to Define & Refine

                        LOVE LETTERS to Singles

Dear Singles,

Sooo… you’re single? So am I. My question to you is, “How do you feel about it?”

I know there are some, maybe many, who are disheartened by this fact. I am not one of them, but if that is you, don’t be! Instead, EMBRACE this time! Yep, you read correctly; I said, “embrace this time”. You are single, not broken or incomplete! You are a whole person, and I’m here to tell you, if you are feeling a void… if it feels like something is “missing” or there is a hole to be filled… A man is NOT the solution – GOD is! A man cannot complete you. So fill yourself with HIM, God, the only one who can. Let HIM be your focus. Get to a place where you are so content in Christ, your life is so FULL of Him, that you don’t even know WHERE He will fit your husband into the picture, when the time comes! Allow yourself to become WHO He has purposed you to be. Perhaps, you aren’t married yet, because YOU aren’t prepared to be a wife. Maybe you haven’t spent the necessary time with God, in order for Him to mold you into the woman He desires to present to your Heavenly Husband! So it could be while you feel you are “waiting” on God, it is really God AND your Heavenly Husband, who are waiting on YOU.  Sisters, we have to change our approach to being single, if we truly desire to please God. Being single and “okay” with that, is a true act of and measure of your faith.

My Sisters, I pray that these letters are right on time. In the past few weeks, I’ve noticed many of you have posted in regards to the challenges you are facing as you strive to date AND please God. It is true, it isn’t always easy. Even when you ARE seeking God and acknowledging Him in all your ways, dating righteously has its challenges… but Sis, it’s next to impossible, when you are doing it on your own. Think of what we are up against – society and the media’s warped concepts of love and over-sexed images, loneliness, temptation, past hurts and betrayals, abuse, low self-esteem, broken hearts, trust issues, generational curses, an overall lack of knowledge, wisdom, and truth, and the list goes on.
