Who would like to be married? I believe this is something we grew up with as little girls – the perfect marriage with a prince that would save us. It might be because of all the Disney cartoons we watched or because this is what we were told to dream.
Don’t get me wrong there is nothing bad with wanting to be married and calling your husband your prince (KING 😊) the wrong is in the placing marriage – or your husband above God and making it your idol.
Exodus 20:3 (KJV) Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Luke 10:27 (KJV) And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
God should be first in your life and your desires should be the desires God has for your life. Is this always easy? NO!
I remember when I made the mistake of making marriage an Idol and my then boyfriend a god. My desire was so strong that I did not even care if this was not God’s will for my life. I would actually pray and cry out to God often times, trying to manipulate God’s will for me and give me my want. I wanted to be married to this wordly man and did not want to take NO for an answer. No I would pray and pray and cry for God to change him and to make him a true follower of God so that I could get my will of marriage with a man in Christ. Writing this right now really brings forward – to myself how selfish and lost I was at the time.
I’m happy God did not listen to my childish tamdrums at the time, praise the Lord Almighty.
I learned allot from that time and God truly turned around anything meant for bad for my good. I’m happy with the constant care of my Heavenly Father and God not allowing me to nag myself into my want, when that was clearly not his best plan for me. God is good and his plans for our lives the best.
Matthew 7:11 (KJV) If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
My root problem had always been that I had looked for my value in men and thus wanted marriage – to be valued. I knew that this man was not the one for me, he did not bring me closer to God rather further away. Yet I still wanted to marry him because that to me at the time would make me feel valued.
Last week I woke up thinking about marriage. I have been single now for 2.5 years which has been such a blessing. As I woke up with the thought of marriage I spoke to God immediately and said – ooh no God I don’t want to be that old Romy again. Please help me keep YOU IN first place and don’t allow me to make marriage an idol again. I don’t want to fail you Lord. I don’t want to start to think about a man and with that moving away from you again. God help me please! It’s then that God spoke to me and said: Romy -remember, NO man has done for you what Jesus has done for you and no man on earth ever will, never forget that. Keep that close to your heart and you will be good. I did not give you a spirit of fear but of love and a sound mind.
2 Timothy 1:7 (Kjv) For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Romans 5:7-9 (NKJV) For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
There will never be a greater love than the love God has for us, no matter how much people on this earth might love us. People can love us better yes; when they have God’s love for us flowing through them. But it still will never reach the perfect love Jesus had for us when he willingly went on that cross while he knew we would sin again.
Jesus went on that cross anyway, even for the people that put him on that cross. Jesus did not get mad, NO HE asked his father, even through all the pain – forgive them Father please for they do not know what they have done. WAW, nails in his hands and feet, beaten beyond recognition and yet he asked for their forgiveness while they were not even sorry yet for their sins committed towards him. We should never forget this love, we should hold this close to our hearts when the troubles of the world Surround us and when our own sins get the best of us. We should never place anything above God because he did not place any of our sins above us, no he gave his only Son so that we receive mercy and grace and can be saved ❤️❤️❤️
We should want marriage for the glory of God, to advance his kingdom. To be a living testimony of God’s love for us, to show the lost the love God has for us. Do you know how powerful a Christ centered marriage is? Look at this: one can impact a 1,000 however two might impact 10,000 and when two on earth agree together in Christ that is extremely powerful. I don’t know about you but for me I don’t want an ordinary marriage, no I want a Christ centered marriage because there are many people in this world that have no clue how much God truly loves them. Waiting on God is not a burden, no it’s an honor to wait for his perfect will and husband.
Deuteronomy 32:30 (KJV) How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up?
Matthew 18:19 (KJV) Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
Let me ask you, would you like to have a relationship with God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit? YES???? Okay Praise the Lord. Let’s start with – Did you accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour in your life? Let me tell you since I did life has been an amazing Journey – not easy but surely the best ever. You say you are not perfect and committed to many sins? Read this post again on how Jesus forgave the people that sent him to the cross, believe me God loves you and is waiting for you with open arms. Want to accept Jesus but don’t know how? Write me, I would be happy to pray with you. Savedandblessed.blog.romy@gmail.com

Let me start with saying that I hope that my message today will educate you and ME.
This morning I brought my kids to school and I’m now sitting in my favorite coffee place having my coffee and some time for myself. When I asked God what to write about today, he replied and said – you are in a coffee shop – so let’s write about your daily coffee.
I don’t know about you but I love me some coffee. I sometimes can’t wait for the time to reach for me to have my next cup of coffee. Some days I can even have 4 to 5 cups 🙈 AND no small cups, NO I love big cups of coffee with allot of milk and sometimes with a special flavor. Sometimes I will go through some great lengths to get me my cup of coffee and on days I can’t have coffee, coffee will sure pass my mind ones or twice. Imagen that, so much love for some coffee 😊
Now let’s look at how much I love to read the word of God daily. It should have an even greater passion then coffee, do we all agree? I hope your answer is yes because God should always have first place in our lives.
Let me be honest here: a couple of years ago I would attend church, go to bible study, pray and look at sermons on the television ( look at that: tel-e-vision) so tell the vision, with other words they are telling you the vision they want you to see, anyway that is another blog post someday. However with all of that I did not like to read the word of God and I would actually look for excuses not to have to read it, that is scary right? I remember that in the Bible there is a verse that says: the people are destroyed because of lack of knowledge – Hosea 4:6 😞We need to know the words of God, even Jesus knows them – this is how he was succcesful in the dessert when he had gone without food and water for 40 days and the devil came to tempt him. Jesus used God’s words against the devil. How dangerous if you don’t know God’s words by heart. Matthew 4:1-11.
And then today God reminded me on how important it is to read his word daily, not because we have to but because we want to just like coffee. I can tell you that since I have been reading the word of God daily that God has used it to educate me and to grow me in wisdom.
Today I can’t think of not starting my day with his words, today I sometimes can’t wait to have time to spend in his word. To hear his voice and feel his love through the scriptures that he gives me for that day. Some days God wakes me up in the middle of the night ( I love my sleep 😬) however I can tell you that those times are the best ever. The love you feel coming from God during those times is amazing and the knowledge he shares is like nothing else. Sometimes I read scriptures during the day and understand nothing of them but then during the night God opens my eyes and allows me to see. I’m not married yet but those times with God feel better then any time I have ever spend in relationships with a man ( I know that I was not living that part of my life right at the time, okay that’s another blog as well) but my message here is that nothing compares to God’s love for us.
The love God gives me today is so amazing I have never felt this kind of love before. In the past I never believed that kind of loving feeling with God excised because I just never took the time to build that relationship with God. This brings me to the next point; let me share with you a bible verse God shared with me today.
For easy reading I’m using the easy to read version. Ephesians 5:5.
You can be sure of this: No one will have a place in the kingdom of Christ and of God if that person commits sexual sins, or does evil things, or is a person who selfishly wants more and more. A greedy person like that is serving a false god.
Well let that cup of coffee speak to you. Pray to God and ask him what that verse means in your own life and what needs to change. I know that I want to have a place in the Kingdom of Christ. I would not want to live a life without Almighty God. The verse above is powerful and needs our attention, repentance and true dependence on God. Living for God means that we walk with him doing our outmost best to live according to his will and commentments and that we repent and ask for forgiveness when we fail, like David did.
Giving my life to God was the best decision I could of ever made, it’s not always easy but always worth every beating of my heart, this journey is the best ever. Remember that we can do nothing on our own, however all things are possible with God.
May God bless your day today and remember
God loves you much❤️

Have you ever asked yourself this question? Why do you love me Lord? Out of all people why me? What is it about me Lord, that makes you love me so much?
I asked God this today and I was not prepared for the amount of emotions this would bring. Tears did not just come down my face, NO tears flooded down my face. I felt so many emotions at ones and with it no understanding why God would choose me!!!
And then God started to explain to me why I had gone through so much hardship in my last relationship and life. Let me take you onto this journey of a story that exceeds any kind of love we have ever experienced.
When I woke up this morning things were different, I did not follow my usual routine of greeting God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit first thing and thanking him for this day, 5 minutes of gospel music, 15 minutes reading bible and a daily devotional and seasoning my time with God with prayer. No this morning I greeted God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, then I read a daily devotional on an app I downloaded yesterday and then I continued preparing my kids for school. I remembered to pray in the car when we were doing bible study as usual every morning on our way to school/work. As I’m off today I decided to bring my kids to school and then go by the beach to spend time with God.
I sat in my car and at first not knowing what to pray, however then the Holy Spirit took over. I confessed my fear to God, a fear I have had for the past 2,5 years and has made me closed up towards any man that would even think of being interested in me.
For the past weeks my oldest daughter keeps telling me that this guy in church keeps watching me and passes by my side as much as possible. My daughter also pointed out to me that I show no interest and that she has asked herself why I reject the thought of even smiling with a man. She then continued with the question: if this is not me blocking any blessing God would want to sent my way? I thought about this and then just tucked it away with saying you must of read the signs wrong.
Then yesterday my 6 year old daughter nudged me and said mommy that man over there is watching you, needless to say the same man my oldest daughter has been telling me about all these weeks.
So today during my time with God I confessed to God that I’m scared of dating and getting married because I don’t want to fall into my old life where I would make men I was in relationship with an Idol and place God on the shelve, for reference when needed. I cried and I told God that I don’t ever want to place him on a shelve again but keep him as first love in my life. That I love and need God and that I’m scared that God would allow me to drift away again, like my old habit where I always left somebody before they could leave me. I told God that I would not want that with him, that I knew the Bible says that he would never leave us or forsake us and that I know his words are true but that I’m scared I would leave him and God allowing it would feel the same as him leaving me.
Deuteronomy 31:8 (NKJV) And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.”
I let God know that I’m scared of allowing somebody in my life as I’m not sure the old controlling Romy is gone, the Romy that would not trust a man, the Romy that would manipulate a man to do her will. And I let God know that I’m not sure if I would keep my priorities and responsibilities in order as I had failed to do so often in my past relationships…….. I cried as the sadness fludded my heart with all the grief and hurt I had caused to God, just thinking back on it made me feel so bad.
God then answered me and said: my princess pick up your bible and read: Isaiah 5:6 Which says: Isaiah 5:6 (KJV) And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
And I understood nothing of what God was trying to say to me, I thought he was pointing out that he was going to cut me off, take away his protection and his blessings. I also sat there thinking how this could maybe be about my job, in which things are a little Rocky right now.
It’s amazing how good God truly knows us. I started to research the meaning of the verse and soon found out it should be read starting from verse 5:1. As I read the commentary on Isaiah 5:1-7 God spoke to me and showered me with his love. God brought me back to my last relationship 2,5 years ago with the father of my 2 kids and God showed me that in that relationship I had made this man my idol and had left God on the shelve, during this time God had not pruned me, had allowed thorns to grow and had taken away the rain from me. Well in a vineyard nothing can grow like this and this was exactly what happened in my life at that time. God had taken away the people that had always ministered to me and he had allowed me to let my own sinfull nature take over. I stopped going to church and God had taken away any of his blessings towards the fruits of the Spirit in my life. In short I was miserable and felt like waste, not much alive at all.
Reading Isaiah 5:1-6 made me discouraged for a little while, ugh the enemy sometimes knows how to do that, however God led me to continue read the explanation and I found joy when I read: However this is not the end of it, it’s for God to turn a situation around – how amazing is that? 😊😂
God then led me back to reading Isaiah 5:7 in my bible which says: (NKJV)For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, And the men of Judah are His pleasant plant. He looked for justice, but behold, oppression; For righteousness, but behold, a cry for help.
And the “BUT BEHOLD, A CRY FOR HELP” is what spoke to me so much, because that had been me in that relationship. I had cried for months to God to get my out of that relationship, to allign my heart with God’s heart. I then realized that God had never left me and that his plan for my life never changed. God changed his approach towards me when I had left his road -TO BRING ME RIGHT ON TRACK AGAIN, BACK ON HIS ROAD.
All the while when I thought that God had allowed me to move away from him, I did not move at all. To the contrary God had me right in the palm of his hands. God had changed his approach to bring me right back running towards his arms, that had been embracing me all this time eventhough I had left him – sitting on that shelve.
And I asked – why God? what is it about me that makes you love me so much? And God said: Romy it’s not about you, it’s about me. YOU ARE MY PRINCESS, MY DAUGHTER AND I LOVE YOU AS YOUR FATHER, I LOVE YOU SO SO MUCH AND THAT WILL NEVER STOP!
God continued and said: My princess you have no need to fear, stay close to me and I will make sure that I prune you, take away any thorn from your mits and I will make it rain on you to grow you into the woman I need you to be. Because I know that you will use this to write about it for my glory and for the advancement of my kingdom. The same thing I knew that if I would give you a verse you did not understand that you would study it – seek and you will find – AMEN!
Matthew 7:7-8 (NKJV) Keep Asking, Seeking, Knocking “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
I don’t know what the meaning of this guy in church (watching me) is, my daughter and her friend think that he is the one and that I’m his missing rib ( So romantic 😊). Well I don’t know about all of that, however I do know this for sure: that I gave my life to God and that his will is best no matter what his will may be. I thank God for his perfect will to be done in my life, for HIS glory and the advancement of HIS kingdom – praise the Lord Almighty.
I hope this may help somebody. As I have informed before this journey with God is AMAZING, I never knew we could fall so deeply in love and be completely filled to the rim with the love of Jesus. I wish I had given my life to God when I was young, nevertheless God is always right on time.
Let me ask you, would you like to have a relationship with God like this? YES???? Okay Praise the Lord. Let’s start with – Did you accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour in your life? Let me tell you since I did life has been an amazing Journey – not easy but surely the best ever. Want to accept Jesus but don’t know how? Write me, I would be happy to pray with you.

I know God cares about us, however I often have felt that people could do anything to us and we would just have to accept it – be nice about it and move on. This feeling would be so real that I would even think, ooh what would God do about it for me – He has more important things to take care off then to worry about people that mistreat me. I am just a speck to his eyes not worthy of anything without Christ.
But then on this given day when one of my leaders was on a quest to lower me to the bottom of the floor where dirt resides, God cared. He first gave me the strength to stay silent, to stay respectful, to reply in a quiet and humble voice and to not accept in my ❤️ what was being said about me. God did not just show up at the moment, no God was there every second of that moment and never left my side. I did not even let one tear drop or felt like crying when this person was trying to break my most inner part, no I smiled and said -” I’m sorry you feel that way about me, however I do not agree with you” and I left it at that and asked for permission to leave……..
It’s not until I walked out the door of his office that I felt a flood of tears that wanted to burst from within my heart down onto my cheeks. I was able to make it to my office and when I hardly closed the door my tears ran down my face, my heart was so hurt that it felt like I could not stop crying. I knew that all the thins he had said to me were not true but it did not make the hurt of the unfairness any less.
I cried out to God and God kindly responded and said to me: “my Princess pick up your bible and read.
God led me to: Psalm 147:10-12: His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, nor his delight in the legs of the warrior; the Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love. Extol the Lord, Jerusalem; praise your God, Zion.
And then he said, I don’t go with what people think of you and I don’t care what they have to say about you, I look at your hearth and you are precious to me and I see you for who you are.
At that moment I started to praise God because my God is more important then any lie people made up and any trap they may have layed out for me.
The days that followed God guided me to read Psalm 23, 26,27 until 35 out loud and it all talks about how God fights our battles for us and that any NET that people lay for us he will turn it back on them. Since I read the chapters out loud I have a peace with me that surpasses all understanding. Here there are people that wrote a bad report with my name on it, however I’m calm like streams of water on a beautiful summer day.
I don’t know the outcome of my meeting next week and if God is going to have them change my report, however I do know it does not matter because with or without that changed God is worthy of my praise. I know God will fight this battle for me and if his will is for me to leave I will leave, however if he wants me to stay nobody can move me. Whatever it is, May God’s will be done and not my own.
Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Praise the Lord – El shaddai, the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. God is in control of everything and everything is under God’s control. Amen.
Did you accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour in your life? Let me tell you since I did life has been an amazing Journey – not easy but surely the best ever. Want to accept Jesus but don’t know how? Write me, I would be happy to pray with you. Savedandblessed.blog.romy@gmail.com
